TRIBUTE TO SUSAN MAMBEI ENO
It is with very deep pain and sorrow that I, the mother of your father, my eldest son, Eno Mbei Emmanuel, write this tribute. When news of your grave illness reached us sometime towards the end of March this year, all my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, in laws, and myself and the rest of the family turned towards our creator, the God who has never failed us. We prayed and fasted. He heard us and listened to our cry for healing. You were healed to the point where you had been discharged from the hospital over two months ago.
I received the sad news about your passing which occurred on that fateful Wednesday, the 29th of August, only on Thursday evening, the 30th of August because your uncles and aunts were hiding it from me, since I was also just convalescing after hospitalization. I was devastated to the point where I had to be readmitted into hospital the following Sunday.
I could not help but ask why my good Lord abandoned me and let this happen. I have the feeling that God is reproaching me and my family for something. I am on my knees since I received this shocking news, with the hope that our God who is faithful will reveal to me and to the rest of the family why He raised our hopes so high by healing you, and then turned around to let this happen. You my granddaughter, Mambei and my other grandsons and granddaughters, should be the ones to lay me to rest. I wonder if I will be capable of bearing this.
As Matriarch of the Eno clan, your passing as well as the untimely deaths of your uncle Namme and your Auntie Magdalene, have left open sores in my heart. The family needs to do some soul searching so our God can reveal to us what message He has for the family.
Adieu Ma! May your young and gentle soul rest in perfect peace, till we meet to part no more.
Your inconsolable grand mother
