Watching Blondo's pictures parade this screen and reading the tributes provoke tears of pains from my eyes. Menge was my Master of Ceremony for all occasions I hosted in Cameroon. He spoke eloquently and his company was always a treasure. I also remember vividly how he supported my wife and daughter in Yaounde during my brief period of studies in Holland. My wife, kids and I, will particularly miss him so much.

Uncle Menge, I still haven't come to terms with the fact that I will never have a conversation with you again. It was always a pleasure to see you as were so welcoming. I am glad to have had the opportunity of knowing you. We will miss you so, so much.

Bro Menge's death has left a gaping vacuum that will never get filled and through this, we reflect on what life truly is about. In this moment of such a tragic loss, My thoughts and prayers are with the TABE Family. Saying goodbye will be hard. May God Jehovah grant you all the strength to cope with this loss and may you draw strength from the resurrection hope; John 5:28,29.

Uncle Menge, I only met you once in 2003, but I've heard so much about you - and you sound like a wonderful uncle to me. When Daddy told me last Tuesday what had happened, I was shocked and deeply saddened. Although you have passed away, you'll be here to stay - FOREVER - in my heart.
Lots of love, Little Mayong, England

Oh, Uncle Menge! I can hardly count the # of years that have gone by since the last time I saw you in Yaounde (shortly before moving to the USA). If anyone had said that would be our last encounter in flesh, I would have been in absolute denial. You probably would have told that person off yourself. I'll miss your candid & yet amusing character. Adieu, dear Uncle...until we meet again! :'(

Every single day seems tragic as death lurks and steals our loved ones. Like Shakespeare put it "death is like a stage on which we all are actors".True we cannot take back what has happened and it is my prayer that the Almighty God Jehovah grant You all, the TABE family the strength to cope with this great loss.Remember the words of 1 Thessalonians 4:13 and be courageous. - J. Tambe Ebone

Dear Uncle Menge,
I frequently heard you being spoken of very fondly as a person who was great company and enjoyed having a good time. This picture contradicted with my first impression of you as I thought you were a strict and "down-to-buisness" type of person, dressed in those elegantly tailored suits and neatly polished shoes. However, growing up and getting to know you enabled me to see that you were actually very welcoming as you'd always ask how I was doing whenever you saw me in Yaounde. You would also often comment on how much I had grown since the last time you saw me. The news that you'd passed away came as a shock and I am sincerely glad that I had the opportunity to meet you.
With lots love,
Etengeneng, England

Dear Uncle Paul,
Although I met you just once when I was 2 and didn't know you too well, I have heard LOTS about you! You sound to me like you were - and always will be - a wonderful uncle. I'm so so SO annoyed that I didn't get to see you the last time I went to Cameroon two years ago, but Daddy told me you were recovering well (you were ill at the time), which filled my heart with joy. Then, last Tuesday, when Daddy told me through tears that you had departed from us, I was so shocked and saddened!
Uncle Paul, you may have passed away, but you'll be here to stay - FOREVER - in my heart. Lots and lots and lots of love,
Little Mayong, England

Uncle Menge, my memories of you are all smiles.
Every time I think of you, I remember one thing interesting about your frequent visits to Mamfe . You always made Mama happy and I was always excited and anxiously waited for you to arrive because the house was going to be lively.
One thing you always brought which I laugh about now was a lot of “Kanda”. We used to have abundant supply from 1st to 31st to enjoy our eru with twice a week in Mamfe. Mama would be filled with so much joy sharing with her friends and telling them her son Menge brought it. I remember every time you saw someone coming to Mamfe you always sent things for everyone in the house.Thank you for all you did!
Till we meet again!
Love Always,
Ekieta
