ANNE MOJOKO MUSONGE

Beloved Aunty,

God is Unique, Sovereign and All Powerful; I remember your love for the Lord, especially that fateful day that you asked Sister Ndolo Ekaney to tell me to meet you at your Yaounde residence. What a motherly relationship we had in Christ. Our fellowship was centered in the Gospel. The Lord is kind, loving and merciful. We can only glorify Him. His acts can never be questionable. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies are unending. They are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness.

Thank you Auntie Mojoko. You made room in your heart for us, and worried about how we were coping in the absence of our parents. You felt the pain with us every time we faced loss and tragedy.

You regularly made time for us to spend catching up on stuff, chatting about every thing that came to mind. I remember being summoned to the GM's house in Bota if I had not visited for a while, or getting a message through JJ or Junior that you were visiting from Yaounde. We spent many happy hours at Cité Sonara. Thank you for evoking beautiful memories of my mother, enhanced by your gap-toothed smile that reminded me of her.

It is amazing that an intensely private person like you gave of yourself as much as you did. You were fiercely protective of your family, but you made room in your life for many.

Many years ago, you walked up to me in the courtyard between the two buildings of the Ministry of National Education in Yaounde and you advised me to study Library Sciences, explaining that you were a Librarian, and Cameroon needed more trained Librarians. Years later, as Assistant Delegate of Education  for the South West Province, you encouraged us (a group of Librarians working in Buea) to form the South West Library Association, and you spent time mentoring and advising us.

You dedicated yourself to improving the lot of members of our community who needed a helping hand, especially women and children. After showing you a draft write up for a training programme for school dropouts, you 
got together a group of us and encouraged us to set up what became FASIRUD. We went on to train many young people in skills they could use to earn a living. Even after you formed FAWODA, you continued to support the efforts of FASIRUD.

You definitely left the world a better place than you found it. You set a high standard for yourself and those around you. Your passing has left a gaping hole, but the memory of you induces smiles through the tears.

 Rest in Peace, Auntie. You held fast to your Faith in good and in trying times. May your Soul find Eternal rest in the Lord.

TRIBUTE TO AUNTY MOJOKO

Dearest Aunty Mojoko,

It is so difficult to know that you are no longer with us.

We were aghast when we heard you had passed away; however, we are pulling ourselves together.

We shed tears because we miss you so much already – your welcoming smile and your sense of family.

Not having you around anymore will be painful, but a fact we will have to live with. The Holy Spirit our comforter will comfort us.

We celebrate your life Aunty Mojoko and we are at peace because we know you have gone to rest. Till we meet in heaven where the streets are made of gold, where there’s no sickness, no worries, no fear...take your well deserved rest, Aunty.

May your gentle soul rest in peace.

We love you.

TRIBUTE TO SISTER MOJOKO

Sister Mojoko,

Woman of substance, woman of virtue, woman of beauty (both inside and outside). 

You inspired me with your meekness, kindness, gentleness, love to help others and above all your love for God.

Sister Mojoko, you always accepted people for who and what they were and that made me fit into our large family.

I admired your total commitment and the way you stood by brother Mafany at all times – that is a help mate in the real sense. A common saying goes thus…….”behind every great man is a great woman”

You impacted every life that came in contact with you and that made us rely too much on you. You did not just give us fish, but you taught us how to fish.

Last year while we were in Maryland we talked a lot and I cannot forget how concerned you were about the family back home. You put aside your health issues and you were worried about our husbands who were bearing the load and responsibility of the family. You asked me to make sure that they took it easy and that they did not wear themselves out. Sister, was this a message you were trying to get through to me? It will not be easy to do that without the help of the Holy Spirit, for “with Him all things are possible”. Your shoes are too big for anyone to try to step into.

You stayed away for two long years to make us learn to be independent of you. It was for our good, but Sister, we are slow learners and we will have to learn now that you are gone.

Sleep sister Sleep! “You have fought the good fight, you have finished the course, you have kept the faith”. Sleep and rest from your labour.

You not only were a pearl to us, but also to God, for “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly”.

I thank Almighty God for your life Sister Mojoko. Rest in perfect peace.

Brother Mafany, Etonde & Tabe, Isoke, Ewange & Manokia, Jackai and all the grand children, BE STRONG IN THE LORD.

 Aunty Patience (like you always called me)

Gone you are

To peaceful, distant, celestial climes

Our bright-shining loving star

Every path illuminating.

 Of mentors you are one
