Big Mangyie Mami Neh....my dear sister and mother in law.... I really have not accepted that you left us. But because I am not able to hear your voice again since your passing....I know it is true. My sister dear mother....we spoke every day for years...I would call you every morning or you would call me every day. We spent time chatting about life, sharing memories of our childhood, families and our confidence and faith in God. I spoke to you before you left for your appointment and we prayed together. We said we would talk when you come back that evening but you never came back. I have cried and cried...Mami Neh....Where have you left the boys, Mangyie , Tangyie and his siblings and your whole family. We are all hurting because of your untimely departure. My sister...sweet mother....I miss hearing your voice. Thank you for loving and caring for Mangyie and the family, your love and care and support was everything to them and to me. I was not there with Mangyie but I was reassured that you were there and you did all the work for us all. My dear Sister Mami Neh Big Mangyie I miss you and would miss you forever. Rest well in our Lord house

My dearest Mom....yes you were my mom. Mami Neh Big Mangyie...I have had difficulties writing this tribute. I still have difficulties as I write this tribute. Yes, because you left me and family untimely. I still cannot believe I am writing this now. I never saw this coming. I had always envisioned us having many more years together, looking forward to days when together we would have been celebrating the boys high school and college graduations. Big Mangyie Mami Neh...since you left me...I have struggled with my strength...struggled with thoughts but I remembered how you had always told me to leave everything with God. However, I am still struggling to leave everything to God.
Big Mangyie Mami Neh...I Thank you for all your immersed love and care, I would never have words to express the level of love and care you showered me and the boys, and everyone around you. Mami Neh you loved me from day one you set your eyes on me, even as a potential daughter in law. I stayed with you in Bamenda for over a month, before marrying Tangyie, and you never never let me cook for you nor do anything in the house. You never bothered to know if I even knew how to cook nor clean, aspects that mother in laws look out for, so they know their sons would be well kept. You didn't bother, because that all mattered to you was that, Tangyie was happy was happy with his choice for a wife. All you wanted was to be happy for Tangyie and be the loving mother to both of us.You did just that Grandma. Grandma Paulina I cherished your love and appreciated it from that moment. I never would have imagined to get some much warmth and love, especially as I was hurting badly for loosing my own mom as a child. You immediately closed the hole of pain in my heart and made me a better person, because it would have been difficult to achieve alot of the successes I had with emotional pain. Once you joined us in the US in 2012, I was so happy and made it a mission to enjoy my every moment with you Mom. We shared alot of great memories together, and all step of the way, you contributed to everything I did and achieved. You were there day and night to love, care, support and lend me a helping hand in all of my chores. You were the pillar of the house, you wanted to cook and clean for me, when all I wanted was for you to chill and relax, and take care of you. I am happy I was able to do that sometimes, as you didn't want to stay without doing anything. Mami Neh, I grateful for being part of your beautiful journey of love, peace, care and humility. Your humility was unbelievable, Mami Neh you were just so humble and respectful that for 12 years, you told me, showed me and gave me, every single dollar given to you by anyone and everyone. You told me..Mangyie keep it and I would tell you...No Mami...its yours. But, you still asked me and told me when you wanted some of the money, and I would say it's okay to send and use your money anyway you want Mami. Big Mangyie Mami Neh you were my strength in difficult times, you worried about me so much I had to not let you know I was feeling low. My pain hurt you visibly and I had to disguise my pain so that you would not be in pain your self. Your relentlessness in paving a spiritual path for us and the boys was huge. I would be forever grateful to you for that and for everything. I can continue writing and would never stop because the memories are endless.You wiped my tears and soothed my heart every November when I was filled with emotions for my own mom. Now, you have departed in November too and I don't know how I would cope without you too, every November. I see you everyday in the house since you left, I see you waiting for me at the door when I am coming back home. I miss you and I miss that beam of smile on your face when I returned home and walked to you and hugged you every day. Grandma Big Mangyie Paulina your gentle soul, love, care and humility would be missed but we are grateful for these and hold on to all the memories. You would be remembered in everything we do. Tangyie, the boys and I, the entire family would also remember you, it hurts it really, really hurts, but God Knows Why. Love you much my dearest Mom.

For a dear Aunt

As I have travelled through the years, perhaps the most important lesson I have learnt has been to express my Gratitude and Love💗 to the special people in my Life. That’s why I would like to take this last chance to say THANK YOU for being an adviser, mentor, peacemaker, grandmother and most importantly a mother to me.
Deep in my heart, your life is kept to love and cherish, not forget. No more tomorrows we can share, but yesterday’s are always there.
I remember every time you would call me, you will say “Mamayo, have you eat? I miss you….How for boyy? Who will call me now on Saturdays while I am at work? Who would advise me to call people I didn’t want to talk to?
Your legacy of love, warmth and joy will continue to inspire me. I will miss your hugs, smiles, wise counsel, unwavering support and unconditional love. Even little things like picking through your food and pushing all the meat to the side coz it made your teeth and the veins of your head to hurt will be missed
May your beautiful soul RIPP.

“Big Mangye” your passing leaves a tremendous void in our lives especially mine, I take comfort in the few but memorable memories I shared with you.
“Big Mangye”was more than just an aunt to me; she was a mentor, a confidante, a shining example of love, kindness, generosity and peace loving with an infectious smile and warm hugs, gentle voice that made everyone feel welcome and loved.

One of my favorite memories of “Big Mangye” was during her last visit to Delaware to lunch and celebrate humanity. She gave her mite so the needul can smile. She always referred to,me as “nɨmo Mangye”, nɨmo Mafor, that highlights your personality, and values. I would miss those appelations. We talked about the boys a lot but you assured me you would be there for them. Where are you. They cry everyday. No one to seize the rTVremote from them chasing after them to go andbsleep or to go and study.
Our conversations always captured the essence of your spirit and the impact you had on those around you Your conversations always highlighting on the existence of families, how we can make things better. You always told me to learn to listened to everyone no matter what it is.
“Big Mangye, you were a pillar of strength and wisdom in the family. Your guidance, support, and unwavering optimism inspired me to be my best self. You had a unique ability to make everyone feel seen, heard, and valued.
As I say goodbye to this extraordinary woman, I take comfort in the knowledge that her legacy will live on through us. I will continue to celebrate your life, share stories of your love and kindness, and strive to emulate your humble compassion, empathy, and generosity.
Rest in peace, dear “Big Mangye” Your love, light, and laughter will be deeply missed, but your memory will continue to inspire and guide me.

We called her ‘Mami Neh’. She was my mom’s eldest sister and one of the strongest pillars in the family. Her love for the entire family and those around her was second to none. When I had my two sons, Mami was there
throughout, providing me with all the necessary support a mother would to her daughter. She took care of my kids like no other. Thank you so much, Mami for your unwavering love and support towards us. It’s so difficult to come to terms with the fact that you are gone for real. Heaven knows how much we loved and cherished you, but God had other plans. I, the boys, and the entire family will miss you greatly.
Adieu Mami Neh, till we meet again.
Your niece,

My Grandmother
You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within us.
Thank you for your sacrifices, your care and concern, your love and everything that you have done for me. Wherever you are, I know you are in a much better place. I will be forever grateful and thankful that you are my Grandmother

My grandma was a kind and loving woman I knew, she always care about all her children and family.she was like a second mother to me ,she always checked up on us make sure we have eaten, i always acknowledge her because she was a God fearing mother always praying for the family protection and device us to go to church. I remember the time I saw her at the airport she was so happy to see us joining her in the U S and i was always grateful to see her and the rest of the family.

Losing my grandma was like losing part of me because she always motivated me to work hard not to look at others people accomplishments or what they have and focus on my dreams because you never know what they have put their hand into or been through, i always remember this saying she always reminds me about that American is a good place to be but not the best place you may think it is , actually don't believe her at first but now I see the other side of it now. I am so sad I cannot see her anymore and I no she will still be guiding us so we will make her proud one day in the future

Grandma I hope to keep you in mind and in my heart so one day we will meet in heaven.
IN ANY SITUATION PUT GOD FIRST.

Grandma was a very good person. She was caring and thoughtful. She never hesitated to help people in need of help. She would sit and talk when I am not feeling well. She would go to Church and pray when nobody else did.

She would teach things about camaroon. She would tell stories about the things that happened in camaroon. I always had a good time talking to her. She always was the person you can talk to without her interrupting you or speaking.

It is so sad because she is no longer with us. She left before I could do the things that she wanted me to do. She would have needed me to drive her anywhere she wanted to go. She left early for me to be able to do it. May you find eternal peace and rest in the loving embrace of Heaven.
Love you Grandma.

My Grandma was one of life's best gifts to me. She was someone I would treasure for all my life. She was caring and loving, thoughtful, and truthful.

She has a prime place in my heart.

She was a mentor and a humble person. Someone whose love you can depend on. My grandma always had your best interest at heart.

Someone who was a special part of my life .

She's a blessing, she's a gift,
She's a treasure like no other.
She's was someone truly wonderful.
Love you Grandma.

Today, we gather to celebrate the life of my beloved grandmother. To me, she was more than just a grandmother—she was like my second mom. And, as a playful nod to my name, she would often joke that she was my wife too.

Her love for me was so deep, so unconditional, that sometimes it could be overwhelming. If you asked me how many times she checked if I had eaten, I couldn’t even begin to count—it was that constant. But it was a reflection of how much she cared.

I loved my grandmother so much. In fact, if I ever got into trouble and she found out, I could hardly bring myself to explain the situation to her. She always wanted to sit me down and share her wisdom. One story she often told was about the time she was run over and how people called her "die thing," mocking her and calling her useless. Yet, she never told these stories in bitterness. Every single one ended with her pointing back to God.

She was the most God-fearing woman I have ever known. Even in her final week, she asked us to go to church. I couldn’t say no—not because she would punish or guilt me, but because I knew her heart. Her love for God and her desire for us to grow closer to Him made it impossible to refuse.

She lived her faith in action. I remember how we’d call every single person in her phonebook to pray for them. Honestly, those days felt so long and, at times, a little annoying, but now I see the love behind it. She wanted everyone to know the Word of God.

Grandma also taught me to check on family, to nurture those connections because they matter. I see that more clearly now, after her passing. She showed love in the simplest yet most profound ways. Every day after school, she would greet me with a hug, a handshake, or even a kiss. That kiss would light up her face like nothing else—she’d blush with happiness.

As I stand here today, I realize there are a few things I need to commit to: I need to draw closer to God, to show love and care for my family and loved ones, and to live a life of faith like she did.

The only comfort I have now is knowing where Grandma is. She is with God, in peace and joy, and if I live with faith as she did, I will see her again when my time comes.

Grandma, I love you with all my heart. Rest in peace, and thank you for showing me what it means to love, to have faith, and to truly live

This was one of my first times going to church with Grandma. Grandma will carry me on her lap while we listen to the word of God. I always remember this because when I got older, I started not wanting to go to church because she wanted to always carry me on her laps. I am just remembering those times we always went to church together. Now that she is gone, I will always try to go to Church to relieve the times me and her went to Church.

At home, she would do the little things helping me instead of me helping her do things. Sometimes, I regret the times I let her do things by herself and not reach out to help her. Even when my cousin's friends would come over, she would always be the first person to find food for them to eat. Even at home after my basketball practice, she would always open the door for me, and if I did not eat, she would tell Mama so that I should eat and be strong. She was my number one supporter in basketball whenever Mama would bring her to my games.

I look back now. I see how much love she showed me and all her grandkids.I love you, grandma. Fly high.

Today, We're here to celebrate and remember my amazing grandmother. She wasn't just my grandma to me, she was like my second mom in the house, my biggest supporter, and my safe place. Living with her was the best. She took care of me since I was 3 years old. She filled the house with love, kindness, and joy.

Grandma was the most caring and loving person I've ever known. She had this way of making everyone feel special, whether it was through her warm hugs, or it was through welcoming any visitors or family relatives that walked through our door to visit. She always put others first and was there for anyone who needed her, even when she didn't have to. What stood out to me the most about Grandma that I will always cherish was her faith. She had such a close relationship with the Lord, and it showed in everything she did. She'd pray for us, she would gather me and my brothers so that we can read the Bible and pray together, pray for others, call other relatives and pray for them, and even encourage us, and remind us to trust God no matter what. Her belief in Him gave her so much strength and made her such a positive and inspiring person to be around.

Grandma, thank you for everything. A lot of kids were not blessed to see they're Grandparents or even live with them like we were blessed too see and live with you. You taught me how to love, how to have faith, how to care for one another, and how to be a better person. I'll never forget all the memories we made, and I'll carry your love and lessons with me forever. I love you, and I'll miss you more than words can say. Untill we meet again.
