Mama,

 When I heard you had a stroke, I was scared but had hopes because you were a woman of faith. Little did I know you were going to leave so soon. However mama, you fought a good fight, finished your race and kept your faith (good Job).Mama I remember our days in Babungo and you telling me to be Patient.

I remember the chats and confides and tears and laughter, the songs we sang and especially this one, “Be not dismayed what’er betide, God will take care of you”. And he has surely been merciful to us mama. I remember your famous saying” When the going is tough the tough gets going”. You’ve not only been tough mama, you were very focused ,courageous and a committed child of God who found delight in giving, gifts to all who stopped by your store especially on market days. I remember your supportive, kind and soft spoken words to me. “ Nayouh you are a good woman”.

Thank you mom. I remember sitting beside you when your sister in Njinikom passed away and you were telling me, you are fine but for your legs. I remembered how you served me food and took the pains of getting an additional two pieces of chicken and added to my plate. You were very caring as usual. Thank you. I remember that same day your biding me fare – well.  You emphatically told me to remain steadfast and faithful as if you knew mama that I was not going to see you again. Yes mama, I miss you physically but spiritually you live in me and will be remembered every day. God has already flown you over on Eagles wings and has granted you your deserved rest in peace.

Adieu Mama, Adieu, Adieu

Just like from Gen-Rev , so is human race ,from Birth to Death. All I have left is your pic and a frame that's on ma wall all day round the clock for me to see your lovely face again and to remain with your sweet loving MEMs. Life is a wander, why are we born in the first place if this is how we have to Go, without saying Goodbye. Come to think of it, God’s wish is always our Command but for sure, I know she wines and dines with you in Your Glory till when we meet again. Ma

Granny,ma

I shall remain behind to be a good boy for you and I hope you also intercede on my behalf with God almighty 'cause you are hard to find ,just like rain drops from ma eyes and like tear drops from the sky hope you go with that too right !!I shall always have the first verse you chose for me Gen 1:1 and  I think God knows why you are called home to rest. I know you for a Mother and a Grandmum . Thats why I know I will definitely miss you granny R-I-P-P

OH grand mom.How I used to enjoy your wonderful stories and advice. How you use to prepare us food when we were back from School regardless of sick legs. How friendly you were to people of all denominations and now we are missing you in our midst. Your company and all the funny stories you always told me how I am your legs and how you used to send me to represent you in different places. How we used to sit in the kitchen the two of us and chat. You were the best grand mom in the whole wide world and how you went to my school just to pay my school fees.

You were caring to me .Big mami(ma JM) as we use to call you .We are going to miss ou and we know that you are resting in the bossom of the Lord-May the almighty grant you eternal rest.

Tribute to a Beloveth Mother in- law

Big Mami ....''Ma Mbeng ''
Goodbye seems to be the hardest word to say right now
''06-03-12 '' it all started like a joke when you complained to me
''Mabughi i no di feel my left hand...''

''I di feel cold ... carry me we go Kemco then you called Big Pa...''
Now i understand the word ''immortality'', You will always be in our hearts needless to say , the vacuum created by your moving on  will always be a deep cut .We all have our individual tales to tell of you how you had your own special kind of touch in each of our lives.

  ''Gina Neng ''will grow to hear of how wanderful a granny you were
to us. She will also hear of your consoling verse you particularly
ordered me to memorise , John 14:1-6 . You have joined the heavenly realm .Salut dem all .Big mami see you on the other side  ...

I will always hold fond memories of the times I spent together with my
Grandmother.

Grandma is the reason I know Jesus. She told me Bible stories and took me to church. But mainly she showed me the unconditional love of
Christ. She helped me memorize Scripture . My Grandmother was a

Prayer warrior. Throughout my life, in unexpected times, I’ve felt a
special grace around me and I know it was from her prayers. I always
knew I could depend on her over the years to lift me up.

What I'll remember most is her benevolence.  I've never met anyone who was more devoted to family, so quick to laugh, and so enjoyable to be around. I feel so privileged to have been born her grand daughter. Will miss

Naah Che

In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I will be missing you
how empty my world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they must have lied

The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so dreary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you'll always be
for though you're gone
from this mortal world
In my heart you'll always be
Grandma to walk into your room and see you smile,
I walked over and hugged you all the time,
you always made me smile and always had stories to tell.
I loved sitting with you everyday and listen to the memories you had to share
You showed us that life can’t be all that bad
there is always a light at the end of a tunnel,
You were so strong ,You had faith in us all,
You had great sprit even if the day was dull.
you weren’t just my Grandmum
you were my best friend

I never knew you had to go so soon as I was thinking of visiting when I leave Yaounde,
now I feel I'm alone
but I know you're close.
when I feel the warmth at night I know its you giving me a good night kiss,
when I feel my chest getting tight I know that’s you giving me a big hug,
when I feel the wind brush through my hair
I know your whispering hello to me ..

when I see the sun shine I know you're happy,
when I see that bright star I know that’s you watching down on us all and smiling
now a beautiful angel watching over us all,
we pray to you each night.
You used to call me Chiabi the intelligent bikom boy
but now no one to give such appellations.
Loosing you Grandma broke my heart and every day without a doubt I think of you and shed a little tear, for a Granmum I loved so dear.
May Your Soul Rest in Perfect Peace Grandma. Love you.

How sudden is your departure. It is written that the lord will come like a thief in the night .but instead dead came to you like a thief in the night .You were a great woman to all not only to me  your  grand child. l say now that you are resting, but l am not happy about the saddest part that you left  without saying a word .Your teachings , l will forever follow . You  gave  me  the name Fanyen. It is only  now that l  understand the real meaning  of my name. Don't  worry. When l come, l will tell  you  all that l have  seen

  Adieu,Mamarita

Mama

Gil and I always refer to you at home as grandma in front of the kids. Despite their young ages,  Johnson and Evan ‘, your grand kids, will ask mommy do you mean grand ma at Belo? and I will respond  saying yes and that's daddy's mom. The time we visited and spent with you was so enriching, filled with laughter and I will forever cherish the precious moments we shared. You woke up every day with a smile on your face and danced with us with hands wide open singing praises to God. You reminded me to use the Bible as I would a dictionary for words of

wisdom. I admired you for reading the whole Bible every Year hoping that you will see one of us from the Whiteman’s land before the year runs out. I feel pleased that you know that we have little Bihnguoh Mbeng and that is You. Joana my mother will miss you. Fare well Mama, Rest in Peace, Adieu.

 You were such a loving and caring mother, l cannot believe l am standing here this morning reading a tribute to my sweet mother. What shall l say? How shall l ever

come to terms with the reality of your passing away? Your death is unbelievable and unacceptable and for the first time in life wish the truth was a lie. You did everything within your means to give the best in life You were  my inspiration ,role model You believed in me when l did not, and were confident whenever l'm there.mammy  l will never know what you had to tell me in November 2012 when you did say l should remind you as a must. .Throughout your life you wore a smile and always willing to take the extra mile to help and support  your family and friends. Mum, you were the best teacher l ever  had in life.

 “Sweet mother l no go forget  you for the suffer  weh you  suffer for  for we.”  Rest in peace

Your son, Tohmukum Richard Ngong.

Mama,

So sorry to hear this news about Mrs. Mbeng. I remember her face now and the smile that always drew me closer. Mary was a very special person and I am glad to have spent time with her. Let us be strong, and celebrate the lessons she shared and know that a long life, lived well is a gift beyond measure.  Peace.

On behalf of Taku Mbeng, Johnson Mbeng Jr, Evan Mbeng, and Victoria Bih Mbeng, I, Emmanuel Mbeng Jr wish to thank everyone present at our grandmother's funeral for taking time to bid her farewell.
Grandma, we all in the States wish you a triumphant entry into the Kingdom of God. We have not forgotten our visits with you, and will remember forever all the great things that you have done in life, particularly the way you have touched so many peoples’ lives. We didn’t get to be around you much for logistical reasons, which of course you understood.  Our dads will represent us when they lay you peacefully in your final resting place. We love you grandma, and will miss you everyday forever.

Emmanuel, Taku, Johnson, Evan, and Victoria.
