My dearest mami, your loss came as a shock to me. We always think we have time but it indeed waits for no one. I will miss your delicious koki. You always made sure I had a taste even from miles away. I will miss you checking on me, it made me feel less alone especially on gloomy days. I will miss seeing your beautiful smile. Thank you for being an amazing grandmother to me and to all.
Rest in Perfect Peace mami.
Your granddaughter,
Whitney

Oh my sweet grandma! Your kindness and warmth touched all those around you. Sometimes when I wake up, I can’t help but wonder”Is my grandma really gone? Is this a dream? You were always there for the most important events of my life like my first holy communion and graduation. You even dropped me off at the airport on the day I was to travel. I remember when you will always advise me to take my studies seriously to make my parents proud. I will miss you calling me “My Big Mami” or “Iye Agbe”. I will also miss your delicious cuisine. I know that you are in a better place now with the angels. Adieu Grandma

Mammy Tunde, we can't believe that you're no more with us. The fact that we will not meet you, feel your warmth and enjoy your food during our next visit to Cameroon breaks our heart. You have always made our visits to Cameroon very special with your weekly delicacies that you send to us. You've shown us exceptional love that can only be expected from one's own mother. As we write this, we can't control our tears. You were one of a kind. Mama, we will sorely miss you and your heartwarming smile but we thank God for your enduring legacy and the beautiful memories. Adieu, our Cameroon Mother! May your gentle, beautiful and caring soul rest in the bosom of our Lord.

Mrs chief as I fondly called you, what will life be like without you? What are your last words to me? You have completed your earthly duties as a mother to so many and now took a bow and yielded as the faithful servant you’ve always been to the Almighty Whom you served diligently.
Your departure on that fateful Monday in November have opened up old wounds which never healed. I am grief stricken yet struggling to create an imagery of a life well lived by you giving me a reason to wake up tomorrow and smile because you lived.I will cherish your memory and let it live on but then I ponder why we write tributes.May be this will be my last tribute. My preference will be writing a beautiful letter while you are still here, chronicling the gifts i received from you. Then I’ll sit back and listen to you read out how much I appreciate you but now I sit quietly in my room, lonely, tears running down my cheeks pouring my heart out knowing I’ll never hear your voice in this life time. A constant voice in my head one that told me I could do anything I desired.You held my hand and took me to Presbyterian church Tiko town,registered me as a member in YP( Young Presbyterian),one that told me it’s time to be baptized and took me to Presbyterian church middle farm and had me baptized oh !and chose my God mother too, one that wanted me to go to the prestigious girls school because you only wanted the best for me. I will never forget you buying items from my prospectus and packing my suitcase,buying me everything I wanted as snacks even items that Pa questioned ha ha.You made me happy, seriously,you really made me happy.You gave me a beautiful and memorable childhood,I love that I was your travel partner when you visited your sisters, I love that you never hesitated to invite me to sleep in your room when Pa traveled,oh how I feel the love.Oh my God! how did I get so lucky?you always agreed with my choices. Thank you for never reprimanding me despite all the missteps I took. If I ever disappointed you please forgive me .You only voiced positive things and showed love and support to me and my numerous friends that visited all day and some who stayed months and years at a time.You fed us three meals and never complained or asked where their parents where.Long after these friends left and made it in life, you have never expressed any kind of disappointment for them not coming back to say thank you.I am not sure I told you how lucky and grateful I am for having you as a mother.Farewell Mrs Chief, greet Chief himself ,Mami Sophie,My Delphine(Odu)My namesake and a whole lot of grand MAs /PAs ,cousins,aunts/uncles on the other side Once again death has struck and left us with this age-old questions how do we go on when our loved ones transition?do they cry and miss us the same way we do? I guess I’ll find out on my own right?My heart is filled with gratitude,thank you for your unconditional love,your sumptuous meals that I’ll never taste again,your beautiful smile,the packages you sent me to the US,never failing to call and check on the boys and just so you know I loved when you called me “my sister in-law “Thank you mother,I miss you more than words can express, a voice silenced in this lifetime. The road may be rocky but I know your Lord will make it easy for you to walk fast to Him. Enjoy your throne as the Queen cause you impacted so many lives. Farewell my love, rest in peace as God takes care of you.
Fondly, your sister in-law/daughter, Bridget.

Dear Mom, I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. You were never afraid to be my mother to put your foot down, to teach me right from wrong, to make sure I did my best. You always let me know I had a mama who cared about me, who believed in me, who was there for me no matter any circumstances I face in life. ohh mama I can’t still believe your gone but we will still meet again

O death, where is thy sting. My beloved mother, your absence has left a gaping hole in our hearts and an insurmountable void to fill. Life will never be the same again without your presence. You were an incredible woman, mother, grandmother with so much compassion and love. You were a shining star on a hill, you brought a smile to faces everywhere you went. Your kindness, generosity and love were palpable. You were a mother to all, you never discriminated or said anything negative or bad even to those who didn't like you. My beloved mother, your demise has caused us so much pain. We lean on the almighty to cope with this irreparable loss. We know you are resting in the bosom of the lord. My dear mother, you will forever remain in our hearts. May your soul RIP and may your memories be a blessing.

Chaiii mami....
The remarkable woman I proudly call my second mother, who gave me the cherished name "Pa Boy" and embraced me with unconditional love, you will forever hold a special place in my heart. You took me as your own, showering me with care, wisdom, and affection that made me feel truly blessed. Your warmth and selflessness created a bond that transcends words, your genuine affection have taught me the true essence of family beyond blood ties and I will always treasure the memories we shared. As you journey on, Mami, I wish you farewell with a heart full of gratitude and love. Your legacy of kindness and love will live on in me forever.

"Reme, my beloved mother-in-law, the pain of losing you still feels like a heavy weight on my heart. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that you're no longer with us, and it's hard to accept that our last conversation was indeed our final goodbye.
Tears fall every time I think of the memories we shared, the laughter, and the wisdom you imparted to me. I yearn for one more conversation with you. My heart aches with longing, and I wish I could turn back time.
Your love, kindness , going above and beyond for my parents and siblings meant the world to me. I miss our talks, just want my phone to ring to hear you again. Your absence has left a gaping hole in my life, and I struggle to fill it.
But even in death, your memory and legacy live on in our hearts. I'll cherish and hold on to the memories we created, and I'll keep your love, wisdom in my heart. Rest in peace, dear Reme. You will forever be in my thoughts, prayers, and memories.

Mama,

It breaks my heart to write this. I was so eager to see you again, but life had other plans. Loosing you feels like loosing my mother a second time. Your care, your warmth who will grind my koki now?

You lived a full and beautiful life, and your love will forever stay with me. Rest peacefully, Mama. You will always be cherished.

Tribute to Her Royal Highness Queen Lydia Aloma Epey

It is with a heavy heart that I pay tribute to Her Royal Highness Queen Lydia Aloma Epey, beloved Queen to the late Chief Epey Bisong of Mboka Village and my dear aunt. Her passing in November 2024 has left a void that words can scarcely fill. Aunty Lydia was the embodiment of warmth and hospitality. She always ensured I was well cared for during my visits to Limbe, Cameroon, preparing meals for me daily. Most recently, in October 2024, during my trip for my late brother CD Ayompe’s funeral, she continued this tradition, providing home-cooked meals every single day despite the somber occasion.

Two days before I left Cameroon, she called to ask me to send my driver to collect the food she had prepared, as she was traveling to Douala. Concerned, I asked why she was returning to Douala so soon. She explained it was for a follow-up appointment but reassured me that she was fine. We agreed to meet in Douala on my way to the airport.

On October 15, 2024, as I prepared to leave Cameroon, I called her in Douala. She was at the hospital with her daughter, Iye Bisa. Though I longed to see her, the hospital was too far from the airport, and time was short. She assured me it was just a check-up, and we bid each other goodbye. After returning to the United States, we spoke again in October, and she sounded fine. Yet in November, barely a month later, the devastating news came—my cousin called to inform us that Aunty Lydia had passed away in Douala. It was a shock I still struggle to process.

Aunty Lydia was a beacon of love, unity, and kindness. Her unwavering dedication to family and her great sense of togetherness will always inspire us. Rest in peace, Aunty Lydia (Iye’Alo, as we fondly called her). Your kindness, love, and unwavering support will never be forgotten. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
