Dear Sister Meg, The news of your untimely departure dropped like a bombshell. So hard to imagine. So difficult to believe. Yet it's true. It's true that you have passed on. It's true that the memory of your virtues shall remain everlasting. It's also true that your kind and tender words shall stay fresh in our hearts till we all meet again. The sound "MEG" as Brother J.C calls all the time still echoes in our ears . We still cannot accept the fact that death has robbed us of your bright and ever ready smiles away. It's so painful that you are gone. And what troubles us most is to know whether death never realized that we still needed you so badly.

Adieu Sister Meg

ENOH FERDINAND

It is at times like these that one finds out how inadequate, how limited words can be. How can I effectively and fairly depict in a few words my short but rich experience with Auntie Meg, a woman who was cut for life; a woman who so perfectly fitted in every space she occupied?
My first encounter with Auntie Meg dates back to three years ago. She struck me at once as a very affable and agreeable person. With that never fading smile of hers and that picky English (in fact, the first time I met Auntie Meg, I thought she was an English language specialist) peculiar to her or that her pidgin she spoke with a funny accent; she always made me feel so comfortable and really important, especially with her legendary soft speech.
In the category of incidents that engraved Auntie Meg in my memory, I’ll cite an incident that occurred on the night Dr. Agei left Cameroon to the U.S. for his specialisation programme. Uncle J.C. had to drive the family to the airport that night; when it became clear that he wouldn’t make it on time, Auntie Meg took charge. She drove us to the airport that night with such energy as only a lorry driver is capable of.  When Dr. Agei’s checking in process became complicated, Auntie Meg rallied us to pray and pressed us to pray further. God answered our prayers; and Dr. Agei finally left. I have frequently noticed this same trend in my wife. Obviously, she inherited it from Auntie Meg whose personality and legacy are larger than life.  Truly, the gap she leaves behind can never be filled.

Dear Agei, Family, and celebrants

 

This is a big loss, not only to your family but to all the lifes your mom touched during her brief stay here on earth. 

 

These are the moments when we can question the very nature of God. I will invite you to move beyond this and be proud of your mom's achievements. Rather than duel on asking WHY,  you should focus on celebrating her life.

 

This should serve as a teaching moment to all of us. Death is sure, and christ is the cure. As we all celebrate Meg's life, I challenge you all to assess your readiness for the Lord's coming. I have no doubts she lived her life knowing this day could come at  anytime. Lets remember her in our prayers!!

 

Accept my sincere condolences.

WEEH OUR BEAUTIFUL AUNTI MEG!!!! NA SO MAN DI GO ????? NO BYE BYE?????

 

The last time I asked of you was in July from Daddy John in Church. I told him, I miss your sweet voice and lovely smile in church. He told me you where still at the US for your Green card procedures. A couple of weeks later, OUR Aunti MEG IS NO MORE. WHAT A WORLD!!!! 

 

YOUR GRAND CHILDREN, CAROLINE, FRIDA, BABY CLAIRE and myself whom YOU Lead as OUR Team Leader for the OUT-REACH EVANGELISTIC CAMPAGNE AT MARANATHA BAPTIST CHURCH  AT THE BEGINING OF 2010, CRIED BITTERLY when they heard the breaking news- "Weeh!! that Kind grand-mom who speaks so softly and kindly- no matter your social status"!

 

I remember that sunday after church, I was like we have to finish quickly so that I take the children home for launch but, the encourgament and zeal AUNTI MEG HAD boosted me, our group constituted: Aunti Meg, my three children and myself and we shared with 3 families within Mendong Derrière le Camp. What marked me was Her simplicity, availability, enthousiasm and down-to-earth nature. I thank GOD for that opportunity I had to spend such great and immemorable moments with Her, i learnt so much that day from Her- Not forgetting during the women's meeting. I started feeling her absence the sundays I came to church and did not see her. Till this hour, I still question myself whether she is really GONE! But I am rest assured that, it is to Glorify the Lord that you are Gone Mama Meg, for He Decided to call you because Your Mission on this earth has been accomplished. BRAVO mama Meg!The echo of that your lovely voice continually rings in my mind.

Well, I lack words to define How Much we shall Miss you Mama Meg. May the Peace of the Lord, that surpasses Human understanding accompany You as you are resting in the Heavenly throne. Your grand-children Frida, Caro, Baby Claire and myself SAYS ADIEU MAMA MEG!!! TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

 

 WE MISS YOU FOR EVER. REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

 

BETTY PENDA AND CHILDREN

Who is that virtuous mama who was a true Mother to every Child and whose fervent motherhood has build up responsible mothers across the boundaries of her own mother land? Amongst a thousand and one mothers, mother Mag remains the outstanding model.

 

Whose smiles could breakthrough our dark chambers of pessimism and bring new light of optimism and hope for the future? Mommy Mag’s beautiful smiles did it.

 

Who could freely breakthrough cultural barriers and relate in a more personal and friendly way to people at all levels in the society? Some of us could do it, but Aunty Mag remains a model.

 

Who is that faithful Cameroonian citizen who happily served the government, making sure that she was always there on time and that work was adequately and appropriately done? We did it, but Mommy Magdalene remains ideal

 

Who is that committed servant of the Lord who at the last minute of her journey here on earth could dare speak like Apostle Paul: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day” 2Tim. 4:7-8.

 

Many heroes of faith said it—yes! Sister Magdalene could also whisper it with her very last breath.

Truly, she did it!

Sis Meg,

         Some two months ago you replied my email and assured me that when you come back home we'll start our counselling and prayer outreach. What went wrong that you decided to leave with all those wonderful plans? I questionned. One thing i know is that our Lord's ways are not ours, neither are His thoughts ours. So let His will be done. I know where you are and i pray i will meet you there, God being my helper. Adieu Grand-Soeur.

                                                              With all my love,

                                                              Caroline Yembe. 

Bessem, heartfelt condonlences at such difficult moments, may God be your shield n comforter, let us celebrate mum's life here on earth, you n the family at large are in my deepest thoughts and prayers, courage!

Sister Meg,

You were truely a special person.

You touched my life in a very special way. I remember your very soft voice and your arm around me as you pulled me aside to tell me something or asking me to join you in a program you were planning.

Catherine Fomukong Nee Tabe-Ebob

I still wake up every morning thinking/hoping that this was but a stubborn dream or a dreadful nightmare! But then I realize that you are in a better place.

You made us all better people! It will never be the same without you!

YOUR MUM MRS NKONGHO GRACE OBEN

The staggering news of your sudden disappearance stormed our

ears on that fateful Tuesday of August, 24^th, driving us into a terrible feat of consternation and disbelief.  On the occasion of this sad and disheartening event, the entire Nkongho Obenatem family of Mbinda Tabo, to which you belong, hereby exteriorizes the shock felt at the loss of one of its most illustrious daughters.

 

Not only did you portray immense leadership qualities within the family both advisory and conciliatory, but also your motherly and objective approach to family issues, created an atmosphere of peace, unity, harmony and solidarity.

 

At a moment when the entire family mourns your death, we have no other option than to commend your spirit to the Lord. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

                             Chief Nkongho George,

                             For the entire Nkongho Obenatem family

at home and abroad.

Words cannot describe the shock with which we received the news of your death.  You left us without notice. Your departure was so sudden; so untimely; so abrupt. Your departure leaves a deep void. What a way to leave the ones who love you! But we finally realized that God loves you more.

 

God is the greater Decider. His ways are not our ways, His thoughts not our thoughts. And to everything, we must give thanks to Him. For we believe that at Christ's return, you will rise from the dead with a resurrected body like that of Jesus.  May you rest peacefully in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more.   May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Dr. Nkongho Elizabeth, Sister.

THE TREE THAT SHADES THE FOREST IS NO MORE. THE BOMA TREE HAS FALLEN. WHERE WILL ALL THE CREATURES THAT USE TO BENEFIT FROM SHELTER, PROTECTION, GO TO?  . OH THE MOTHER HEN HAS BEEN DEVOURED IN HER TIRELESS QUEST TO FEND FOR THE CHICKS. THE APPLE OF MY EYE HAS BEEN PLUCKED.

WITH WHOM SHALL I SO CONVINIENTLY INTERACT, DISCUSS, DIALOQUE, UNDERSTAND, WORK , LIASE AND FUNCTION AGAIN?

MY ROLE MODEL, MY ICON SISTER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND CARE TO US. THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING US AND FOR BEING PART OF OUR SUCCESS STORY.

Tribute to a wonderful aunty.

 Phil:  Dear Dad, Mbei, Bessem and Agei, I know this is a very painful and sad moment for you all. Please accept my heartfelt condolence. Aunty Meg is one of the persons who encouraged my relationship with my wife. I know this is going to be so hard especially for your dad. You guys now have to stand for your mum, you are all he will be looking up to. Your wife and mum was a role model to me, an example for every woman in the world to copy. Like I said on the day of my traditional wedding, she is my second mother. She will always live on in my memory forever, may her soul rest in perfect peace in the Lord. As Matthew 24:42-51 says 'Stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming.....' This is an opportunity for each and everyone of us to look back and reflect on our lives. This is hard to say, mum goodbye.

Ma: Aunty meg,  I still cannot believe that you are gone. It is still shocking to all of us. You were a true virtuous woman. The kind of one that the Bible describes and your life was an example to many. I will never forget your lovely smile, sweet voice. I don’t think that I can find the right words  to describe the wonderful person and woman that you were. my words are few, but my heart is filled with memories . I grew so close to you these last times, and I will forever cherish the wonderful conversations we had. I am glad that I have so many good memories of you, you will forever live on in our memories. Thank you so much for the love and support that you showed to me and my husband. Rest in peace my sweet aunty, please prepare a place for us all, and watch over uncle jc, bess, mbei and agei from above. We love u so much and we miss you deeply.

Susan and Philemon NsemArrey.

Oh My Aunty Meg, so soft-spoken and gentle in all her ways; these words I use with sincerity to  characterize my loving Aunty Meg. How I remember her so well Going over to visit her in her beautiful and warm home Eating all of her delicious meals That she cooked for all of us to eat And oh how we enjoyed the stories that she told us about long ago and the prayer times we all had on Friday evenings and on every instance we had.   How I remembered the times that my Aunty Meg and her family came for Christmas Eves and days with a lot Of laughter and love that we had with all of them in a single night in our house full of love.   Though the thought of not seeing my Aunty Meg makes me sad and tears quickly run down my cheeks, but knowing That those memories that I have of her Would always be in my heart forevermore Because of the loving person that she always was to each one of us daily in her life consoles me.   Now that she has traveled alone to Gods House To be in the bosom of the Lord and  assured Jesus is smiling at her and saying Welcome Home now and for Eternity forevermore my Daughter. She will be missed down here on earth but shes Gone home to be with her Lord Jesus Christ!   But one thing  I know is you have impacted the lives of us all(gentleness,patience,meekness...the fruits of the spririt) and we will all strive to meet you in the Kingdom of God at God's appropriate time.

May you

Taboko,Ndip, Ketchen and George Nkeng

Rest In Perfect Peace my Aunty Meg

When I joined Aunty Meg as a member of the ENO family through my marriage in 1984, I immediately adopted her as a role model. I was particularly fascinated by the fact that despite all her academic attainment and her social position she had a heart for God and was a woman of faith. Hitherto I had not known women of that level in society who were so zealous in their service to God and to the world.

This led me to believe that there must be some real benefit in knowing God closely and serving Him. Her  example contributed greatly in my decision to become a committed servant of God also.

Until her untimely death she remained a close spiritual elder sister to me, a counselor on matters of faith and a prayer partner. She has definitely joined the “huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith” which will continue to encourage me to press on until I reach the finish line.

Rest in Peace Woman of Faith.

Your junior sister in the Lord.

Lydia Banyi ENO-MBEI

Dear Agei and family,

 

Its rather unfortunate that I never had the opportunity to share the smile of your mom. She looks so lively, beautiful and strong. We can all ponder about why it happened, and I feel terrible just thinking about it but the good lord knows best. Take heart ma brotha. She is with the holy one.  May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Dear Agei, Bessem, Ashu, and Mbei,
No amount of words can explain how I feel right now. I am even at the point of no words. I can only imagine what you can be going through at this time of sorrow and mourning. Your mum was a woman full of warmth, and I remember her for her sweet words of encouragement and her smiles. There is no doubt she is well rested in the Lord. Please be strong and stay prayerful. I pray the good Lord instills in you the strength and courage you need throughout this period.

Remain Blessed
LA

Goodbye dear sister,

From a family lost,

Without it´s Golden child.

Farewell, Aunty Meg,

we will miss the wings of your compassion,

More than you will ever know.

Eventhough we try,

The truth brings us to tears,

Our words cannot express.

Today your place is void in our midst,

We cannot see nor hear you speak,

You have been stilled atlast  in death`s midst,

Beyond still waters into the kingdom of GOD.

Your timely advise as sister, mother, wife...

Shall forever remain locked up in your self.

How we decry this waste of proficiency!!!

Shall we ever forgot? 

Will this gap ever be filled?

Will the passage of time ever heal,the tragic memory of such a great loss?

In realm beyond you shall reign, and prepare for us a cosy place.

Left behind , we await our turn.

How sad do we reckon, but it is forever...Farewell, sister Meg Farewell !!!!!!!!!

   

 

 

Unfortunately, I was never graced by Mrs. Enoh's presence. Nevertheless, she was a part of my family in Christ and I have felt the loss of her wonderfully angelic spirit through the tears of her youngest son, Agei.
 
First off, Mrs. Enoh, thank you for raising such a wonderful son (and children) who understand(s) what it means to live in fear of the Lord. I can only hope that I will be such an influential Matriarch to my future family. Words cannot express how sorry I am that this has happened to you, but I rejoice in knowing that you are reunited with your Creator now, which we, on earth, won't be able to understand how much of a better place that is. As the song says, "better is one day in Your courts/ better is one day in Your house/ better is one day in Your courts than thousands elsewhere". I hope you run into my mommy up there as you fly with the angels. I think you and her will enjoy each others' company. :-)

Secondly, Agei- I'm here for you. Having gone through this kind of bereavement 2.5 years ago, I want to tell you that I am a living testament that life goes on and that you will never stop feeling the loss, but that feeling of loss will turn into happy memories and soft whispers in the night that will give you the courage to continue celebrating your life after her.  I'm sure that's what she wants for you and your siblings. Know that although she is gone, she STILL LOVES YOU from where she presently is. Her love for you will NEVER EVER cease.

You remain in my prayers

Khadijah

Tribute to Ma Magdalene Enoh

My eye lips flickered,

My heart beat increased,

My mind quivered;

Ma Meg has departed!

Ma’s soft loving voice resorted;

“My dear, be comforted!”

 

She trod the rough road,

Survived the sticky mud,

Securing the cake to see us wed,

Setting the stage, we saw her wag,

Serving relentlessly, our love to wake!

Setting out love, all things she wedged.

 

She loved the Lord,

She loved the Lord’s

She spoke of love,

She spoke in love,

She lived for and in Love,

She is taken away in love!

 

Love made her go!

Love is the name for God,

Love is the character of God,

Love is the expression of God,

Love will forever remain from God.

Love, God, love will keep us Going!

 

In God, she spoke,

For God she spoke,

In God & for God she speaks,

Can you hear her speak?

In God she spoke and speaks love.

Love is eternal so is her voice!

 

In love she spoke, she speaks & will speak on!

Philemon Nfor (Pastor, Etoug-Ebe Baptist Church, Yaounde).

Out thoughts and prayers are with you all...

Words can't express how deeply saddened we are during this period. All I can say is, God knows best why he let it happen. Though aunty meg is no longer with us physically, she will always remain in our minds. She will never be forgotten. I pray that you all stay strong and God will grant you all peace that passeth human understanding.

John, Agei, Bessem et Mbei,
Personne ne peut décrire votre douleur présente, la notre certes ne peut égaler la vôtre, mais Aude-Françoise et moi voulons vous dire que depuis que Meg est allée rejoindre le Seigneur, nous n'avons cessé de vous présenter devant le Seigneur pour qu'Il vous fortifie et qu'Il mette Lui-même le baume qui pourra apaiser chacun de vos coeurs, à l'endroit où Il sait que ça fait le plus mal.
Meg, Meg, Meg! John, je ne te connais pas sans Meg; mais sois fort, Agei, Bessem et Mbei ont besoin de te voir fort pour continuer d'avancer malgré tout. C'est précisément le samedi 20 Août que je voulais envoyer à Meg une email dans lequel une bande de copines se soutenaient entre elles; et lui dire qu'elle me manquait. Je n'ai pas pu me retenir dans le cyber où j'ai lu son départ. Mais, au-delà de la douleur, il y a l'espérance en Jésus-Christ qui nous donne une porte ouverte pour la seconde rencontre auprès de Lui. Nous tous qui l'aimions, oeuvrons pour que nous la retrouvions auprès de notre Seigneur. Dans la douleur, ne cessons pas de Le louer ; c'est  ce qu'Il nous a Lui-même recommandé. Ma famille et moi sommes de tout coeur avec vous. Fortifiez-vous en Jésus-Christ. Rachelle Epée

Death is inevitable, it is very trite, simple and common. Meg was a woman leader who played her role with dignity at Etoug Ebe Baptist Church, Yaounde. When her time was up she walked into heaven, she was not lifted but walked herself into heaven like Elijah and Enock did. The word of God says,"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on","Yes," says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them." To John, Mbei, Bessem, Agei, the grand children and the rest of the family, Meg. has set an example for you to follow. Meg, adieu, till we meet to part no more on that glorious morning.
