Uncle my sweet uncle
How time flies....how can I ever forget you. You humor, care, and love. How is your brother my father doing? I know you all gave him a triumphant welcome. Give him a big hug and tell him I miss him so much. I know you all are in a better place and we shall one day be together again. You all rest well. Cause we have alot of catching up to do especially dancing. Love you all dearly.

Uncle, time has gone by but you remain fresh in our minds and still manage to make us laugh as hard as you did yourself. The memories we shared are still vivid and the lessons still pertinent. How can we forget you? Not possible. Rest in peace until our turn comes to quit the scene.

Time has passed, things have happened.
You did your part and the kids have grown to do theirs.
You missed Joyce's knock door but it came in good time.
We celebrate on your behalf, grateful that you gave her to us to remember a certain Uncle Tom!!!  We miss your voice and laughter!!!

Uncle Tom,
How can we ever forget you? I remember how you took care of Jessie and me when we first came here, two teenage girls, unsure of ourselves. You were always there for us in the place of our parents. I thank you for this and may God reward you.

Saw you just a few times, but received good report about you, having
helped to establish some in the US, generously rendering service to
the needy. You made the world a happier place for many, a God given
gene to the Awuros and Atoghos. Farewell.

God's will has been done and who are we to question him? May you RIP
My first ever trip to an Airport was to see Uncle Tom off to the USA. I saw true committment and love manifested, when Auntie Monica cried and fasted for nights and days. I am so glad they are finally reunited never to part with God nor each other.

Dear Uncle Tom,
There will come a time when we also have to bow out like you have done. We would have loved for it to be much later but God has decided otherwise. All we have now to cherish is the memories. And there are many. You were always a straight talker, and we always knew where we stood with you, on any one thing. For me, it was early in the 70s when I came and spent a holiday with you an

Uncle Tom, why so soon? Your absence in our lives will be greatly felt. A man with a great heart, who will stop at nothing to make sure everyone was OK. you nerver knew the word "NO",even when it seemed impossible. You always went out of your way for others,be they family or not. it was always fun seeing you when I visited. The conversations, the jokes, laughter, etc.we will miss you. RIP

Uncle, your work is done. You received and softened theintegration of so many of us into the American way of life. You were our rock, the one we went to and depended on for so many things. Your generosity and availability were legendary and belied the rough and tough exterior you manifested sometimes. we will never, never forget you. Now you can rest in perfect peace having surrendered al

Uncle Tom, your sudden death still baffles me as I am struggling to come to terms of what happened. But I am so glad to know that you are in Heaven as you gave your life to Christ before GOD took you away from us. Heaven rejoices over one sinner who comes to Christ and that is our joy too. We shall sincerely miss you, but when I look at our wedding photos, I'll always see your smile. Rest

I can remember when you came by to simply notarize a document. I can't believe that was the last time I saw you. I asked you of George, Matthew and even your sister married to Mr. Atogho. I am not fake. What ever the case, all things happen for the good of those who trust in the Lord. We are families of tragedies out living whatever comes our way. We are a continuity. Let your fire st

Dearest uncle Tom
I can't express the pain i feel in my heart at this moment.Life was good but then it started falling apart when the sad news reached us.I could never imagine such a tragedy could befall us but it did.
This is where I say life is not fair,for taking away our loved. Being the case,all glory be given to God.

You were a doubting Thomas. God proved to you that He loves you. God send you His telephone number which says, Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
You responded to His call on your sick bed and today your are in heaven with Him. This is our greatest joy because we will see you and Monica in heaven.
May you rest in perfect peace

The very first electronic game I played when I was small was bought by you. You were there for me whenever I needed your help and you always gave me advice. "Danko" was how you used to call me. Who will be there again to call me that name with that voice of yours. You will remain in my memories and may your soul rest in perfect peace.

The Lord God, the Almighty one has done his work. I and all of us succumb. We yield to his sovereign will. You are no more but He reminds us that He is in total control of the situation. This is the source of our comfort that your children, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends who mourn you, acknowledge that God knows us all and He will take care.
It is you, the strong and bold man in the f

You stood out like the lion among the gentle Awuro Uncles.
You were just Uncle Tom, just yourself, holding back no punches.
Yet it is common knowledge that beyond that tough facade,
Laid that happy family man with a big heart. Farewell.

Uncle Tom, your presence in our lives was indispensable. You were there for our three children, Leah, Robert Jr and McFibert. Here is USA, even though distance kept us apart, you always managed to be there when it mattered: christening, birthdays, and graduations. To all of us who knew him; an angel of Lord. He was so kind and very generous. May the Almighty God be with you forever

When the worse was never envisaged.

August 10, 2012
by Emmanuel Fon-Fomukong, Ph...

What I do not understand about anything of value is that it has a beginning and an end.  We are very well prepared for the beginning and what happens for the in-between, but most of us are never prepared for the end. For instance, I, Emmanuel Fon-Fomukong never thought my father would leave me at age 15 when I was still struggling as a kid in Man O' War Bay, Victoria of those days of the Federal Republic of Cameroon. With God on my side and my brother Michael Tiffuh Fomukong of SONAC of the days, I had hope and God preserved me in every way to be able to share this thought as we mourn the passing of such a graceful Awuro weho mI knew through my other relationships with the family as a whole.

Since I have access to the technology to bring you the blessings of a family that is probably spiritually always wishing all the Awuro's the best from every angle and when the name shows up in the repertoire of the Basel Mission Books of well intended faithful missionaries, who am I to reserve my most blessed friends of the family that would not preclude Chief Anagho himself, Mr. and Mrs. Atogho, Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Awuro, Mrs. Annah Mbeh of MD, USA, Mr. George Awuro who I last saw in my transition year in Bali College, and all the friends and family members in Ngwo, Ngie and Oshie.
 It may be a mouth full but well intended.  If all fails, everything works for the Good of those who trust in the Lord.  My heartfelf condoleances from the fomaukongs family.

Emmanuel and Josetta Fomukong
