Sometimes we have to experience the bad, so that we can learn to appreciate the good things that enter your life. Uncle Patrick and Ndahnde i really appreciate you both. You will never be forgotten.

Ngia Paddy,
Today May 1st, marks your birthday.
Thinking about it right now, I don't even know if
you would have celebrated it or even thought about it.
But what I know for sure is the fact that you would have added value to one more life in the family.
Happy birthday to a belated soul and hero.
May your spirit continue to guide and protect us in
Jesus Name. Amen. I miss you dearly

Forever our bond ad infinitum!

Uncle Patrick,
I met you for the first time 5 years ago during the occasion celebrating my traditional wedding in 2009 and when I spoke with you I immediately noticed we shared a lot in common, besides my wife speaking fondly of you . I learned you were a Chemical Engineer, just like me. We talked about the field of engineering in Cameroon and the prospects of moving back and the challenges. I still remember you words of inspiration and wisdom. I planned to meet with you the next time I visited Cameroon to continue our discussion.
A moment like this questions our understanding of the purpose and frailty of life. I know you are leaving the world a better place. We will miss you very much but there is no question in my mind you are seating next to the one who sent you. Your memories will stay with us forever and you will never be forgotten. I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet and get to know you in 2009.

Uncle Kims,
I am still in a trance when I think about you being a memory now. I looked forward to visiting you soon and talking about the good old days, when I was young and my family made short weekend trips to Douala and we visited you. I always remember my older siblings fighting over a toy and you asking them which of them won and I came out as the winner. Little did I know the significance of what I said that day. I was only about 6 or 7 years old. Time went by and we would briefly meet when you made trips to Yaoundé. However, you and I only got to see again at my traditional wedding in 2009 as a young lady. You met my husband and it was truly a wonderful experience as always. We celebrated and took memorable photos but little did I know that would be the last time we would see each other again. You were always the “cool” uncle and even cooler because you were the only uncle we were allowed to call by an alias. I never got to meet your son either and hoped one day to meet the whole family. However, you were on the roll for that day that you departed and you and Nde answered the call and went up yonder. I will always remember you fondly. Rest peacefully.
