Mama Veronica N Edimo

Kenneth, Grand Adu (Ivo), Sussie, Maria, pays man (Yetna), Natt-Collins and Sophie...i don't know where to start or what to say because i still can't believe this has happened.I am at loss for words, i know there is nothing for me to say that will make the lost of Auntie any easier, i do hope you guys can understand what i can't put in words.....!

Our mum, auntie, grand ma ( Auntie Vero), was a kindhearted and generous person. We were all target of her kindness and generosity and endless words of advice and wisdom. I will never forget the memories of Auntie, she was one of the most fun people to be around, she was effortlessly able to make everyone else around her have a good time....what a lost, truely an iroko tree has fallen.

I was so saddened that faithful monday morning when i received that call about the passing away of Auntie, i still cant beleive its happened.I am deeply sorry by the lost we all share and i am assured that we will all be comforted by our memories and our love which is very much alive. 

Auntie, you came, you saw and you conquered, only you know and our Faithful Lord knows why you decided to leave us at this time when we were all planning to visit this december, we can only ask questions but we will never get an answer because God knows best. you have done your work on earth and you did it perfectly well, we love you but God loves you more....

Adieu Auntie...RIP

Kenneth, Ivo, Maria, Susie and Yetna, it is hard to find adequate words to comfort with for the sudden loss of Aunty Vero, a very loving and protective mother. Of course, before you came along, a huge assortment of nephews, nieces and friend's children had had the privilege of her infectious smile, her unrelenting discipline and her nurturing (tasty, nutritious meals and thoroughly tended cuts and scrapes) qualities. Her trusted tub of manyanga always ready for all emergencies.

Anyone who knew her could see how much she loved you, love that continued on to her grandchildren. They are the gifts you gave to her that meant the most. You all worked hard at becoming independent. You made her proud. It is only fitting that children should bury  their mother. It is more painful than words can describe, feeling like one's centre of gravity has shifted. However, the best of her is in you, something many of us can identify from who you are turning out to be.

May God Bless you as you send her on her final journey. There is comfort from hearing her voice in your head, and a full life of memories that will replace images of grief as the years go by.

Love you all,

your big sister,
Elima 

Yetna and the entire Edimo Children, know that i share your grief with you during this difficult moment of life. I pray Ggod should give you strength to go through this difficult moment of life.I know you people will miss her too much but pray that you should think about the good times spent with her that will make you people celebrate rather than Mourn.I got this letter from her and decieded to share with you people.

I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

But be not burdened with times of sorrow,
For I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I've savored much,
Good friends, good times and loved ones' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your ears and share with me.
God wanted me now. He set me free!

My thoughts and prayers are with you: Kenneth, Ivo, Susie, Marie and Yetna. Aunty Vero was a very special person to all of us who grew up around her. I was especially blessed to go to school in Buea in those days when all my outings were spent at the Edimo-Njeuma compound. Her beauty shone through everything that she did. Her laugh was contagious, her food well you all are witnesses of how good she cooked. Aunty was energetic and strong, she truly was a pillar to be reckoned with.  Hold on to the best of this very strong and powerful mother of yours. My family and I will keep you in our prayers.

Love,

Ida
