Memories
Gervase Ndoko
 
Mama Annie,
It's hard for me to believe that you are no more, but I just have to be strong and keep praying for your soul till we meet again. How I wish I had the opportunity to spend a few more hours with you. Any way, my dear Mama Annie, the advice you gave me will always be remembered. You were a mother, friend, aunt and sister that I will live to respect, love, and remember.
May your soul rest in peace,
Ivoline (God Sister)

Enjems, my Dearest Friend,
I used to call you and your soft voice will reply — Jules. This voice I will never hear again. Just returning from our staff meeting on August 12th with my bag already packed to leave for Yaounde to see you on the 13th, when the news of your sudden death was announced to me. You will not imagine the wailing in my house. I ran out naked only in my pant and bra only for me to discover later I was in a kaba. My SNOW-WHITE, your passing away has broken my heart. Tears have not stopped streaming down my chicks.
We were envied by many because of the friendship we shared. For more than 30 years your parents, relatives, brothers and sisters have taken me as one of theirs. If I have to say anything to you, it will take a whole book. You were a piece of beauty; loving and you lived a 'soft' and decent life. Your words to me were always, full of hope and encouragement. Death has quickly snatched you away without you reaping the fruits of your labour .Memories of you will stay forever in me.
Enjems, we were three friends - you, Eli Elad and myself. When Eli left for the U.S, we both stayed back. Now you are gone forever. Why have you left me? Our planned visit to Yaya Motutu was long overdue and you envisaged it when you came back from Yaounde.
 Where have you left your parents, children, brothers and sisters you so much cherished? I promise to remain close to your family as always. May God's angels receive you and give you perfect sleep.

GOOD NITE MY ENJEMS.

Annie,
Your departure was very untimely. It is a lifetime nightmare. I wish it was a dream. I will never forget the many times you shouted and waved 'aunty Manyaka." Rest in peace.

Dearest auntie Annie,
Most of us dread urgent calls especially when children are sent running after you. But for some reason, I did not hesitate to take this one which was followed by a long silence when the news was broken. It then dawned on me that the soft spoken, Auntie Annie Enjema Ndoko has left us.
I always called you aunti Annie and you responded by calling me Jungle Joe. Annie, you loved the people and the family which is why your simplicity, openness, generosity and frankness reassured everyone around you to feel at ease. When you lived with me in Yaounde, we had a lot of fun. We never liked talking about problems in life and the children found the environment very cheerful.
I will live to remember you. Goodbye aunti Annie, until we meet again.

Ma Annie,
You showed love to everyone who came in contact with you. People like you are rare to come by these days. Is this because you wanted to close your chapter this fast? I can remember how often I stopped at your place in Muyuka, and asked what the many photo enlargements were for, and you will smile and we will talk over it as pictures to be used for " we are looking for you." Tell me where I will have to look for you? Rest in the peace of the Lord.

Fondly, we called you "Ma Annie" and with the broadest smile, you will response "yes Aunty Dorcas"! That seems to have been only yesterday and today you are no more to brighten the room with that beautiful smile. Once again, I have been shockingly and rudely reminded of just how short life is.
Yes, it seems just like yesterday when you met your "Pa Njako" and explained your state of health to him. You eventually spent about three months in our home while receiving treatment at the General Hospital in Douala. Though the treatment was not easy, you were brave and courageous. I remember the good times, the many stories we shared, the laughter....
You were determined to win the battle and continue to live your life to the fullest. We all got so used to having you around and got to love you even more. It was therefore so painful to learn of your passing away. Your children here; Stella, Patrick and Mado are still in shock.
Ma Annie you were full of life, did not waste an opportunity to enjoy yourself and look good. Though we miss you so dearly, we trust that the good Lord who called you will fill you with eternal life and that you are at peace and no longer in pain. Rest in Peace Ma Annie. With love.

Ma Annie as I usually called her lived her life in full even though right now it seems to have been rather short. She is not dead, but just alive in a different way, in our hearts.
What are some of the things that I remember when I think of her? I remember her call early December 2008 and saying; "Pa Njako I am in Yaounde to have a surgery. We cannot discuss it over the phone; we shall talk when we meet". I remember her telling me just about two months ago that :"Pa Njako do you know that while I was in primary school you taught me how to read a newspaper and the different sections of a newspaper? You taught me what a signature is and infact helped develop the signature I use today".
I remember you lying on the sofa in our home in Douala and saying: "Pa Njako am going to fight this illness. My grandmother lived for over one hundred years, my parents are over seventy five years and still kicking" I remember her in severe pains but I also remember her when she had "seemingly" recovered after treatment in Douala. I remember her joining my wife Dorcas and I as we celebrated Labor Day with our employees on May 1st 2009 and how happy and lively she was.
Ma Annie consistently updated me about her health and her illness as it progressed. Though we prayed and hoped for her to get better, the Lord decided otherwise.
We shall miss her immensely but I will always see her in my mind as the beautiful, cheerful lady, with a vibrant personality. May she have peace in the Lord's house.

Enjems, Bibi, Hi girl,
I met you in September 1987, and parted in another September, twenty years later. It had been twenty two years of deep growing intimacy. I found in you all the qualities anyone would have loved to have in someone so dear. Your breath taking physical appearance, your down to earth simplicity, your high level of objectivity, your wonderful sense of responsibility and a lot more were charms I could not resist. We were ever together, so now I take it that you have just gone ahead as it happens sometimes. I will keep all the values from you that have given me a sense of purpose and direction in shaping my own life. I do not regret having known you at all, even though I feel wrecked, as the pain is too sharp.
When I saw you in pain during the one week I spent with you in the hospital, I came back to Buea and ran to Church to beg God to save your life but it turned out that you were directing me to God, for comfort to prepare for the storm. After all He is the friend that never fails, and will be able to sustain me during your absence. God will be and has always been the one I will keep visiting, talking to and be moving around with. I want to thank you for making me get closer to God. You left me a job which I do promise will carry out to my ability, God being my helper. My prayer is that the link you have created between me, your family and the thousands of friends will stay serviceable. I pray to look at your death with the eye of faith so that I may be able to see beyond your grave to the day of great rejoicing. I love you, I love you and will forever love you. Farewell.

My dearest Mama Annie,
You have been a wonderful mother, sister and aunt to all those who were close to you, especially me. You showed me love, care and concern from the bottom of your heart. Now the good Lord has called you back to enjoy life without end in his heavenly kingdom. So you should not loose your soul. I am proud as a son that you kept the faith in the Lord and fought to the end.
"I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love, neither death nor life... from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom: 8:38-39.
May your soul rest in perfect peace.
