Tarh Mungwa, “In God alone there is rest for my soul. From Him comes my safety. He alone is my rock, my safety, my stronghold so that I stand unshaken.” PS 62, 1-2.
Some how, I am grateful that you are at perpetual rest from the hard and fruitful labor for the benefit of the family and the entire community. Your endeavors in educating, sharing and laboring not only in the family but most importantly the communities you live in, is testimony of who you were. Though it is now the past, your footprints are there. Surely Charles has missed your like others.
Tarh, God is merciful. We know you knew it. You died when no one least expect except God. You were not the first to come and will not be the last to go. May I say you made a tenacious life. We want to assure you that, we are up to the task you gave us and with God; He will multiply our endeavors in multiples of tens.
Your kindness was boundless. You made sure you had a kind word for everybody and everything had to be just right. You proved it over the years of your life facing multitudes of obstacles and never gave-up.
Tarh, you were so strong and good and did not want to suffer and death ended all the suffering and now you are resting in peace in God’s Heavenly Kingdom.
If there is a price for a model brother and father, you would surely have earned it but like it is said; Good things don’t last forever” so it is with you on earth. But surely you are having everlasting life with the Angels.
Do us a favor. Extend our love and greetings to our papas and mamas, and all the departed family members. Tell Mama Nehbih that the “bells are ringing”; that there should be no fear whatever, and to Tarh Ngariba Nkwenti that we will never “bandage a hand without a wound”. Though there is medical bandage in quantum that could not spare you for a moment. We will follow all the advice and precepts you have taught us. May your death give us the courage to always forgive one another with love. We will do what is right and trust in God.
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD GRANT YOU ETERNAL LIFE AND PEACE.
Charles Neba Suhbilum
When I was seriously sick in Dschange ,guess who was there for me?My uncle Tah Mungwa.I will see him in times,moments ,situations I will least expect. I remember the lift you gave me to my job site ,and I stepped infront of the principal's office like a little princess.What about the suyabeans ,goat meat pepper soup we use to share .PA,you thought us the value of a family,of sharing and caring for each other,and a good sense of orderliness.Thank you pa for the role you played during my traditional wedding.Yes ,you gave me an assignment in a satirical way.I pray to God to grant me what you desired so that your name fades not.The Fuhsuh's family will miss you so dearly.I will miss you too.My husband,Butler regrets not meeting you but hope his mother will tell you alot about him.Have a safe trip home and extend greetings to my grandparents and Neh Eveline.
Pa, what an end of year gift to your family! When the news of your death got to me on that faithful Thursday evening,i was waiting for the next phone call to say 'pa is still breathing'.But non came.I could not believe it was true though i wailed bitterly simply because i have always known pa as a very careful driver.you took care of many people,created an impact in many.Why did you not give me the chance to take care of you in the hospital? You were known for your kind ,caring,loving,and meticulous nature.You taught us the importance of a family.In fact you were a great teacher .You consumed yourself to light the way for others.Now you are no more to reap the fruits you had sown.who will take care of your dear sister Joan?
I remember the last but one time we met was at my sister`s traditional wedding in Bafut last September.I admired the charismatic way in which you coordinated the activities .Little did i know that you were bidding the family goodbye.The last time we met was at S H E S A AGM in Dchang on the 13th of November.After the meeting my husband told me you made very brilliant contributions towards a way forward for the association and the up coming golden jubilee of Sacred Heart College come January 2011.I was so proud of you .In fact the celebration will be dull without you.
Pa, I will always remember your smiling face and the goodness behind every smile.May your soul rest in perfect peace.ADIEU PA.
YOUR NIECE.
Your absence will leave an unbearable vacuum in my life.It's hard to believe that I will see you no more.How i wish you could live on.I hated the news i got that you were gone just in a twinkle of an eye.Wish I could reverse things...Never a shock I had in my life as such and hardly could I believe that you will be the one to shock me especially at this point in time.
You were not only a father, but a teacher , guardian and a friend to me.I will always remember the special times we had together from my childhood till lately.Thank you Pa, for all what you did for us but remember that as you are gone ,we will live in grief forever as that gap can never be filled.I strongly believe that THE GOOD LORD will receive and take of you and you will continue to take care of us while you rest in His Heavenly Kingdom.
RIP
