My dearest Hors, writing tributes are the hardest for me. For someone I’ve known so long and so well. What could I say in a few sentences to capture the essence of an enduring friendship. I don’t know how to deal with your passing. You were always so full of life. From the first day we became friends - the trio as our teachers referred to us (me, you, Manow). We have lived, loved, laughed, argued, supported, and cherished each other. You always laughing so hard tears would roll from your eyes. What can I say my friend? Death hit me again; taking you. Rest well my dear until we meet again. ❤️

Hortense, you shocked the world beyond explanation with the unannounced journey of no return that you have embarked on. Like a jigsaw puzzle with missing parts, the answer to WHY remains a mystery. I want you to know that I am lucky to have known a special person that makes saying goodbye so hard. Crying is not a mark of weakness because tears are the most eloquent way of expressing deep contrition, grief and love. I will cry till I can cry no more. The sun has set on a beautiful and amazing soul. Rest my friend, rest. May the winds of heaven blow gently into your ears how much we love and miss you and wish that you were here. Good night dear friend❤️

Hos, how does one say goodbye to such a loving, charming, beautiful and amazing soul like yours. So full of life; you always brought light where there was darkness and the irony is no one can bring that same light in this current darkness you left us with.
My dear sis you will be greatly missed . Rest In Peace dear, rest well.

Too many rhetorical questions I ask myself, wildest thoughts of you at the early hours of dawn is my new normal. I am short of words... Having shared some really joyous moments with you, in days that seem like the sun was just rising, only to have a turn of events and your sun set forever.
Just when the stage was prepared for you to start reaping the good fruits of thy labour, death shows up impromptu at this very trying times with so much going on around the world. 
Recurrent memories of the times we spent together, the jokes, the food, your elegant outfits, are the best memories of you that I have and that I hold dearly.
Insomnia imbibed in a layer of fright is recurrent in the darkest hours of night.
Your witty, selfless,hard working nature and passion for cooking and decor,are exemplary traits which most of us admired in you. You were a Jack of multiple trades and a master in all.You were a bulldozer.
It still feels like a dream that you are gone,but I am consoled knowing that you are in a better place, and resting in his bosom.
Rest well mummy and know that we are with Ndolo all the way.... Rest in power Mummy Hos!!!........ Mado B Fangda

When I first went to Cameroon in 2013 I was 6 years old. I remember aunty hostensia coming to our house full of energy and I was so scared of the jovial and positive vibes she was giving, I was scared to leave the house with her to go to her house while my siblings had. I was so scared I came to the conclusion that I didn't like my aunty. Afterwards when I went to her house I was still very scared but I reliased that she had this type of warmness that was drawing me in. She treated us with ice cream, cakes, everything you could imagine and I started to think that wow this my dad's sister is very fun, everything an aunty was supposed to be, however I was still scared. A bit later in the day me and aunty hostensia were resting and lying down on her outdoor swing, talking and getting to know each other, when she left me to get some more cakes but she returned to me screaming as I fell from the swing to the hard concrete ground. The love and tenderness she showed towards me were characteristics of aunty hostensia that I will never forget. In one day I went from being scared of my aunty to thinking I got landed with the best aunty and that is how our aunt and niece relationship grew bigger and more special.
When you left, it left me in pieces. I had never seen my dad or mom in such a distraught state. It felt like the whole world was upside down and like a huge part was missing. I wasn't able to focus for a few daysI love you mummy hos and you will always be in my heart
say hi to my grandpa aka pa onana

Mummy Hos it still feels like a dream to me, I can't believe you are gone for good,I can't believe I won't get to see your charming smiles, who will teach me how to bake cakes and cupcakes,who will bake my graduation cake,who is going to give me the best dresses to make me shine among my peers? You didn't give me your last advise before living. I know you've become one of my angels. I am thankful to the heavens for giving me an opportunity to get to be and experience the love and care from an amazing person like you,Rest well mummy till we meet to part no more. My regards to grandpa

Watching you excel when you put your God given talents on display was just amazing. You brought smiles on the faces of your admirers and you never ceased to remain true to yourself. Now that you’ve found eternal peace, take your rest in HIS bosom. You will continue to live in the hearts of those who knew you and appreciate you for just being you. As they say: “Those we love don’t go away, they walk besides us everyday”. Keep taking those invisible steps beside Ndolo. Adieu...

She was a true star
A real celebrity way before television. I'm not even talking internet, I mean television.
Let me give you an example. There was a fire at government school down beach class seven ( second floor) and it was alleged and rumoured that Hors jumped from upstairs to downstairs unscathed.

This wasnt just a real testimony and appreciation of her talent as an athlete but an attribute reserved for stardom.

It would be 30 odd years later from church service that I cornered Hors and asked her to put this story to rest. Wasnt that my paparazzi or tabloid moment?
The question was straight forward
"Grand seour did you jump"? Her recollections of the events was swift.

And you can publish the fact, I got it from the horse's mouth, the first real star I knew, the first athlete to compete and represent us winning a silver medal at the national OSUCS games...And yes by this time it was on television. The only other news on TV was Roger Milla taking part at the world cup.

She did not jump.
Rest in power dear sister.

As family, friends are preparing to send you home to our Eternal Father, we are still in denial to accept the fact that you have left us. My in-law, your memories will always remain fresh in the minds of the Onana/Manga families. Gone but never forgotten. May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

Aunty Hostensia,
      Our lovely Aunt. Seeing you on that hospital bed that night was heartbreaking enough. Looking at you speechless, breathing in distress and not giving us those warm hugs and smile. Oh!! Aunty, we prayed to God, that he gives us our ever cheerful, joyous and giving aunt. We remember when you visited us and filled our hearts and home with love. For seeing all of us in school, for spoiling us with gifts, sweets and all sorts of treats. When we came to your restaurant you gave us dozen of cupcakes, drinks and so much. Oh! Aunty we promise to grow up strong and wise like you advised us. Thank you for bringing aunt Ndolo into our lives. We promise to take care of her, love her and protect her like you always did to us and she did too.
  Thank you aunty Hos for everything and for being you. Mami Nyanga We miss you and love you so much.
Anne, Abigail & Jerome Eta.

A Sister & Big Friend I won't have again.

Sister Hostensia, I came to know you at the age of 15 & I'm in my 40s now.
I do remember the first time you visited us at our residence at Animal Farms as my mom's friend  and junior sister, your visit was all about the preparation for my forthcoming 16th anniversary that year.
It took 3 days for you & my mom to organized it for me, it was successful thanks to you too. From then, I became your junior sister & friend, my relationship spreaded into your family and I was adopted.
With the passing of time, distance couldn't separate us but our communication were kept intact. 2 Years ago, I remember I needed you for assistance, and you said to me "ok Clar I want travel; when I came back, I  go call you" & you did.
Last year, I took a decision in my life, you texted me and warned me to make sure I don't changed my mine & you said "Clar stay focused I di wait good results I dey for your back". You actually stood by me especially during this Pandemic period, you could encouragement me whenever you find me online doing my things.
Finally, you've left me without me completing what I told I'm doing, who's now waiting for me in Limbe if I come home as we planned.
I'll miss you. May you GENTLE SOUL; ALWAYS FULL OF POSITIVITY REST IN PEACE

We love you but it seems God loves you more.  I remember how protective you were of me, alway ready to come to my defense when I got myself into trouble. You loved your family so much, now you have left a void in our hearts .We shall miss you but rest assured  you are resting in the bosom of the lord.
