Edward N "Bokassa" Fosah

Eddy, you where an admirable friend and "big Brother". I recall how you would talk and debate with me those later years in SaHeCo. I cannot believe you are gone. But I know you are at a better place looking down and watching over all of us. You are missed.

Eddy,
I still have a hard time believing you are actually gone.I can only imagine what your wife and kids are going through at this time of the year. I pray, the good memories of years past would help them get by the holiday season. To Jacky and Kids, may you find comfort in your memories.
Prudence Iyok (a Friend)

Eddy,
I am still waiting to hear from you. Life is not the same anymore. I keep praying that the pain gets easier. I know you are watching over us all as you have always done. May the Lord look with favour upon you. I love you so much and always will.

Dear Jacky, David and family,

Please accept my heart-felt condolence for the loss of Eddy - a Person so very dear to all of us that we will never ever find the appropriate words.
Take heart and remenber all the nice moments with him.
Dear "Boky", I will miss you

Eddie,
Rest in peace. May the almighty give your the strength and comfort the need to accept your loss.

My God!!!
Words just cannot explain this.
Eddie, may your soul rest in peace.

Edward,
I never knew you personally but getting the information that you robbed shlouders with memebers of victory club,(a group to which i am member and cherish very much)makes tears to run out of my eyes. I pray that GOD gives you erternal rest and much courage to your family to accept his will.

FOKOU NOEL PERLIN TCHIO

Jacky, i know that this is a very trying time for you.. Having gone through a lot of these messages, you should be proud of your husband as he was loved by many. Stay strong and teach your son and baby to be what a wonderful father, husband, friend, brother, son, uncle etc he was. Remember there is time for everything. You loved him but God loved him more. I wish you all the best and you and your family are in my prayers. Don't cry Jacky. When the Lord closes the door, someway he opens the windows. There are always rainbows after a storm. Stay strong and God Bless. Senge Ekaney

My dearest Eddie,
Now that I have seen u with my own eyes,I know it's true. You have left us too soon.I have so many wonderful memories of u that I will fovever carry in my heart.I regret that I didn't spend more time with u here but please know that I never loved u any less. May u go in peace my brother and may the good Lord grant u eternal rest. Farewell,I will never forget U!
Solange

Dear Brother,

Oftentimes it is said that a life well spent is not in longevity but in quality...and so while in our eyes a brief 35 years is how long you lived, you touched us all and made us better 35 zillion times over...you will definitely be missed, and till we meet again, I'll treasure the memories and celebrate your life and our lasting friendship.

Achomo

This is really difficult to acceept,but Eddie god loves you more than we do,and he knows why this early. May your soul rest in peace.

Eddie,

I never met you but I knew your sister Rosemary in P.S.S Mankon. I only heard very Good things about you before your death. I have heard and read only very good things about you after your death. May the world continue to produce extraordinary human beings like you. May your dear family (wife, kids, mother, and siblings) be so comforted by the GOOD LORD and may your soul rest in perfect peace in the LORD.

Eddy chéri,

It´s amazing that I am actually writing on this memory book, does it means I am accepting that I will never set my eyes on you? No I have not, I still have hopes of seeing you again someday. But if it´s true that you are gone ahead for real, then lets give Thanks and Glory to God Almighty for he alone knows why you are gone so early.

Eddy, you are not dead to me but in a far place, you will always be alive in my world and you will forever be special to me.

Eddy, you are not dead to me but in a far place, you will always be alive in my world and you will forever be special to me.

Eddy, the news of your demise was indeed very shocking and devastating, and has once more reminded us of the brevity of life. We have to be comforted by the fact that you were a fine gentleman and a channel of blessing to your family and friends. Though in lonely grief I sigh, for a brother/friend beloved no longer nigh, submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done". To aunty Agatha, Jacky, Rosemary and the rest of the Fosah family, I share your pain. Rest in Peace Eddy!!

Eddie,
From the day I was introduced to you as a sister, you regarded and treated me as such even though we are not related in any way. Your death announcement went through my heart like lightening. I am still in disbelief that I will never see that gentle smile and that majestic walk of yours; worst still I will never hear your call me "Sis" but Eddie I believe the Lord knows best and has reserved a better place for you where we will meet to part no more. To Jackie and the kids what can I say to you? All that comes to my mine each time I think of Eddie is "To God be the glory".

Eddie you sent an e mail to me a month before your demise expressing your joy of my relocation to Uk. Little did i know it was our last communication. Bros, let the perpetual light shine onto you as you rest in the hands of the Lord. we will one day meet to part no more. Adieu Ted!!!!!!

Eddie i loved you like a brother.I am still in total disbelief but the Good Lord knows why.Rest in eternal peace.

Eddie, I still have fond childhood memories of you growing up in GRA Bamenda. I still remember asking Clotilde over and over again why "this small pekin dey carry he self like some old man so?" Even back then you were the consumate gentleman. Always knew the right thing to say and was always so comforting in your demeanor. I hope Aunty Agatha can read all these wonderful memories shared by so many of your friends and smile, comforted in the thought that you were sooo loved...by sooo many. May your soul rest in perfect peace petit frere!

Eddie,
Your death is a great shock to all of us. What can i say, we love you so much, but God has a reason and he knows best for he loves you more.
I can picture you smiling for I know you are in a better resting place looking down on us. Stay BLESSED for you are still part of our family, and we will always love you and remember you in our prayers. Nothing can fill that vaccum you have left in our lives we will miss you greately. Bye my sweet little brother till we meet to part no more.

Eddie, your passing away is a shock TO us abusites. You were a good player. You and a host of others made "La Squadre Flammingo" a proud team. Surely, you'll be remembered for your good works. May you fine a room in the mansion our Good LORD promise His children. Jacky, take heart. God gives and takes at will. May Psalm 121 gives you hope and courage to face tomorrow. Eddie may your gentle soul Rest in Perfect Peace.

This is shocking and unbelievable! It is a wonder how every time death hits, we still do not believe. I am still living in denial after losing my two brothers and my mum just within one year. It is a cruel reality. May the Almighty God grant the family left behind the peace and strength to go through this trying period. Eddie, it is painful to think you are no longer here; however, I am comforted when I remember that you have gone ahead to join the others in eternity to watch over us. Farewell brother, until we meet again.

My dear Eddy,you know I love you,I have always loved you and I will continue to love you.You will always live in that special place in my heart.Have fun over there and see you real soon.Arrivederci amico mio!

Eddy's death shocked all of us but what can we do?
It's God's will and we have to accept it. St. Paul
writes "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing and give
thanks to God at every moment. This is the will of
God, your vocation as Christians (1Thes 5:16-18)"
keep praying. As we are thinking of him and wishing his family hope in the midst of sorrow,comfort in the midst of pain we prayer for the entire family with heartfelt sympathy

Eddy, May your gentle soul rest in peace. You were gentleman in ABU. May God continue to bless your family, Jacky,David,Mom,and the .....

EDDIE MAY THE GOOD LORD AND THE GENTLE ANGELS GUIDE YOU THROUGH A VERY SMOOTH PATH TO HIS KINGDOM. I THANK GOD FOR YOUR LIFE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOUR FAMILY.

REST IN PEACE.

Eddie,
I got a cryptic and foreboding note from Josh and checking our e-group board tonight confirmed my worse fears. But who are we to question the will of the Almighty? As it's already been said, you were the quintessential gentleman. I remember those great years together in Sacred Heart and ABU and you will be fondly missed! May the God grant your family the fortitude to accept the loss!

May the God grant your family the fortitude to accept the loss!

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this. Eddie and I spent seven memorable years together in Sacred Heart College, along with our Shesa23 family members. Eddie and I were in the same house and dormitory and it is a pity that we did not see each other again or communicate for over 17 years (since we left SaHeCo in 1990) and the current event makes it very very painful.
My dear Eddie, you were an honorable gentleman and the great memories of our SaHeCo years will live on. May the Almighty God take good care of you until we meet again. And may the good Lord give Jacky, David and the entire Fosah family the strength that is definitely needed to move on from this juncture. May Eddie's soul rest in eternal peace.

Woa, Eddy, I still find it hard to believe the news that you are gone to be seen or heard no more.I hate to write in such columns because it means accepting the fact.But if it is true that you are indeed gone, then FARE THEE WELL.Go over the River Jordan where you lord and saviour awits you.Adieu Eddy,Bye Eddy.All the best for you and have a safe journey back home.
For the Family left behind, The lord giveth, the lord taketh, Blessed be the name of the lord.

Eddie,
May your soul rest in peace. The memories you left will last a lifetime. My heart goes out to your family.

Eddie, your dramatic departure came to my notice on my way to douala from yaounde i was unable to make it through. Your exit is unbearable to content. You were a gentleman of exceptional class, i can vividly remember your broad smiles . When i informed Rita and Barrister Mfonfu of your untimely death they questioned why you,this are testimonies of who you were. You were a man of dignity and intergrity.You were admired by everybody. I Found in you alot of good qualities.Its painful to believe you are gone. MAY YOUR GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.ADIEU EDDIE

Eddie, I have found it very difficult to believe that we shall not meet again. But do not have any choice to follow the waive. I pray your gentle soul be in peace in Christ Jesus. You were an example in our Universitry days and heaven shall you rest.

Jacky, at such a time words have little meaning. We can only lift you and your family up in prayers before His throne of grace. He promised to see us through the hard times if we lean on Him. Even when you cannont see Him, God is close by.Hold on to life, it still has meaning. One day you will ask "Where oh death is your victory?"

Eddie, I have always wished that you remember that little poem about the woods I told you in 1993 when you came into ABU Zaria: "The woods are lovely dark and deep.....". I hoped we would share it once more some day. But death o death. Jacky take heart! I'll share it with little David too.

Ndah,Its hard to believe u are gone.We shall miss you dearly.We cannot question God.We pray you rest in the bosom of the Almighty.Adieu!!!

Eddie,
Your life here with us was so short but the impact you left in our hearts will last a lifetime. I never would have thought that when we both left cameroon on June 8th 2006 that would be the last time i would be seeing you, i know you are in a better place so i will pray that your soul rest in peace and that the Good Lord should guide those you left behind. We will forever love you.
Your sister and friend
Sophie Ngongi

Dear Eddie, writing into this memory book means that I am accepting that you are leaving very very soon...
Having gone through my own share of losses, you were always there as an extremly supportive, understanding and simply practical friend. You told me that as difficult as it seemed, I had to be strong, accepting and move on, because life goes on and with not many answers-- and only time could truly lessen the pain and God will not fail to provide comfort!
How does one begin to accept the loss of such a friend? It is great that we had a chance to bridge the gap and remained great and supportive friends. You always reminded me that life was unpredictable & to remember to have fun whilst studying/working hard, which of course you did b/c you tried making everyday as memorable as possible---that is some consolation now, that you had made the most of what life offered you. As your life was coming full circle after patiently staying on the right course,and with you just about to soar as an Eagle, you had to lose it all--U never had the chance to exhale.
With your larger-than-life personality my friend, and it is true---you were a gentleman, so self-assured, it is hard to imagine that you remain silent at this moment. Adios my friend, adios. God's speed to you as make this transition. God bless and comfort your dear mother, siblings, wife and son David through these wilderness moments. Nothing will ever make this feel right!

With so much planned and so little time spent with us, we remain enlightened by the joy you brought us all. May your soul rest in peace!!!!!

(Eddie Fosah, SAHECO Discipline Prefect & School Captain) Strict, disciplined, fair, honest, determined gentleman. The world needs more of your ilk. Rest in peace in another world which is all the better for having you.

Eddie, I pray God grant your dear wife jacky, son, all of us jacky's classmates and well wishers the grace, strength and comfort to accept such brevity of your life. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace:

"Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting?"
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
He will swallow up death forever. The sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from allfaces

eddie may your soul rest in perfect peace. may the good lord continue to protect you and we shall all miss you dearly. jackie,david,aunty agatha,rosemary, taiko and felix,please accept my deepest sympathy.i have you all in my prayers.

Eddie, It's hard to believe you are gone.It has been 17 years since I last saw you and didn't even know you were in the US. We love you but God loves you more. May your soul rest in peace.

Eddy,
We love you but God loves you more, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace Amen.

Eddy, you fulfilled your purpose on this earth beyond expectations. Your firmness, neatness, assertiveness and leadership qualities even at the tender age of 16 in Saheco is definitely exemplary to those of us you have left behind. Your legacy is imprinted in our minds and I pray the day comes wheen we get a chance to share this with your children. We are all praying for God to guide your family through this difficult time.

May the good Lord welcome you into his Kingdom. R.I.P Eddie

Eddie was my classmate from childhood through secondary and high school. He was one of those rare individuals endowed with a special kind of charm matched with only with an equal level gravitas found in true leaders. My dear friend Eddie will be sorely missed. Eddie had only scratched the surface of his true potential in life.
Eddie was a gre at soccer goalie, which was something you wouldn't expect from such a serious guy.
God has his reasons, but Eddie was taken away too soon.
Take heart Jackie, David, Mami Agatha & the rest of the Fosah Family - God will see you through these tough times,
Paul Mfonfu

It is really amazing how we are here one day and gone the next. Watching you and your wife exercise almost everyday as I drove by on my lunch breaks and I would wave hello, just to hear that you are gone two days later, is something I will never comprehend. I ask myself, should I have stopped and made more conversation? Questions of why still linger. All I can do is pray for you and your family and really hope as we have all grown to learn, that you are truly in a better place. God grant us all the strength to accept the things we cannot change. May you rest in peace.

Oh my God!!! What a shock! Honestly, I did not even know you had moved to the US to join Jacky. We have been out of touch for a long time. We will all miss you and I pray God may give Jacky, your son David, Auntie Agatha and the whole family the courage to go through this period of sadness and sorrow and the strength to deal with the grief. God has a better plan for us all. You will be greatly missed. Addio Eddie!! RIP

A good life is not determined by how long it was but how you spent it.Eddie yours was short but well spent.Good bye and may you rest in peace.

Just hard to believe that You, Eddie, "Chicago Bull" is of late! Your last voice on the phone when I tried to reach you a few weeks ago was "hallo, hallo" and the lines went off! I decided to shift the call to another date! I tried again a feek after and fell on your voice receptor, left a message asking you to call me back urgently...little did I know the line that went off was a sign of the light going off! Bull, I am saddened and just look forward to the day we meet again in eternity. Stay well brother.

Eddie,
I did not know you personally but it hurts to see you leave this world so early. I understand you are answering the call from the Almighty. May you rest in peace.
Roger Nyam

Eddy,
I do not believe you are gone. So when I see you, your lifeless body in that casket, then I MAY begin to believe that you are gone. For now watch over us that we have the strength to at least bury you and support Mummy through this. You were suppose to help me with Mummy through this period. God alone knows why this has happened, I will put my trust in HIM. Eddy, I will talk to you later. I love you.

Eddie, I join many friends who regretfully had not kept in touch in recent times, to mourn our loss. The passage of time however has not blurred my recognition of what a great person you were in so many walks of life. You were a stateman, a gentleman, a friend in need and a friend in deed from your Saheco days all through our ABU sojourn... You kept your word like so few men I know.

I pray for your family especially, that the Good Lord may give you all strength, especially Jacky, David, Mom and all your siblings... May your soul rest in peace, as hard as it is to even imagine it...

Eddy, You were and are still a dear friend and classmate. We will all miss you. You are still alive for us and we love you dearly. Thank you very much for the precious time and the lovely memories during our time in SaHeCo.We will continue to pray for you and your family. Suh

Eddie,
We had such fun starting out in SAHECO. You were our Form 2 Goal
Keeper. Sleeping in my bed directly next to yours in St Thomas´
Dormitory, I used to tease you to no end. You loved recounting movies. "Raid at Entebe" which you told over 30 times to us so much so we would recount the movie to others with almost the same excitment as you had done. You love listening to stories and you would laugh until tears would roll
down your cheeks. We met again during university years at Jocobi's house and
reminisced about the past. To those before you, give them our regards.
Till we meet again, stay blessed.
Our hearts are so heavy.

This is for Jacky. I do not know u nor ur late husband. Accept my condolences and may the merciful Lord give u the grace and peace u need to go through this very tough time and in the days ahead.Do not ask God why, because u will only have the wrong answers.May he see u through this very trying times and grant u the peace in ur heart, so u can take care of yourself and ur kids. Again,my heartfelt condolences to ur entire family.

Wishing the family and loved ones of Eddie Fosah Gods' Grace and strength during this difficult period.
Find consolation in the eternal truth that Eddie lives on, even though in a different world now.
Death is in life.
Special thoughts to sis Agatha, the mum.

Eddie,

It has been very tough to accept that you have gone ahead of us. It is a pity we have not communicated for more than a decade. Your memories will stay behind with us from station Bamenda through Saheco. I wish your family all the courage to deal with your lose. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Eddy,i still ask the good lord for answers to your sudden departure.You have left a deep void in our family. I've lost my mentor,friend and cousin. Rest in perfect peace.

Eddy,you were really a rare gem;Jacky's Romeo.I lack words to express our grieve.However,May the Almighty God grant u a place in His heavenly kingdom where we shall meet to depart no more.God be with U.

May your soul rest in Perfect Peace...May the Lord grant your family the utmost strength to deal with sure an emence loss...So young, bright and gone...we shall all greatly miss you...Rest in Peace...

The Forseh Wotany Family

I remember meeting you a few times after the school days. You looked just as sharp and healthy. Your sudden exit from this world has been the greatest shocker of the year so far. I hope you find eternal rest with the lord.

Eddy,[CONFIDENCE]
I just can't believe you're gone. My eyes are heavy with tears. CONFIANCE, why does God love you so much?
Sleep well my friend and brother, while we prepare to join you.

Edie,
For the long time I had known you,your kind heart and service to friendship will forever be in my memories, especially as a co-worker in COTCO and as a good neighbor in Douala.
We can only make use of life ahead of us. RIP

Eddie, its difficult to believe that you have lived it all just so soon. Hope the good Lord will grant the family and friends left behind that special grace to see His work in all this.
may you now Rest in perfect peace Eddie

Boky, may your soul rest in peace. I's a pity I didn't have a chance to see you in more than 17 years.

My darling brother, I miss you so much. I miss your deep voice, your laughter, and your phone calls.I can't question god, but I know you are in a better place. Thanks for your love,your joy,and for haven touched my life. I can't believe grandma, and daddy Fosah didn't send you back to come complete your mission. Why did you leave so soon?. What about Jackie and David?. I miss you Eddie. May God bless you, and keep you in peace until we meet again. I love you my darling brother.

My dear brother,I dont know where to start and what to say.You have and will always be an inspiration. Your gentleness, hardwork,dedication and positivism are what very few will succeed to offer me.
May the good God bless your soul. You definitely will be in heaven Eddy, for the love of Christ that was in you.You are not dead but resting.You will always be alive in my world. I forever will continue to love you.

Hey my Big bro,
I just saw ur name on my to do list that i was supposed to call you.Sorry i wasted time that week and i missed talking to you.I miss u so badly and u know that.I pray for your soul and spirit,it is so hard for us all and i can imagine you watching over your entire family.I know u are in a better place and that you will ask God to bless your beatiful wife and family.Weh Eddie,i cry for you each day,wishing you will answer when i call but no way.I will do my best to make you proud and assist your kids in every way that i can.It kills me to even think about it.I miss our phone calls,and the laughter and the sunday quarrels just because we didn't talk all week.But i love you, i love you and i love you sooooooooooo much.Rest in the most quiet and most perfect peace ever and i will deeply miss you everyday of my life.Yaya

Eddie, i remember the first time i met you, which was the first day you came to Sacred Heart with your mum. She introduced you to me. I still remember you were bubbly, excited but sad when your mum left. I still remember you running to the football field; to the refectory; for mass. You were always running Eddie. I met you in Douala a refined gentleman. After going through all the hassles of life you succeeded in coming out a refined gentlemen. Always smiling, always ready to listen and help. You did succeed in bowing out of life like a gentlemen. I thank God for your life Eddie. Your passing away has touched me deeply. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

I hate this nonsense...all the good words come out now after u're gone..how wonderful u were and kind and patient and protective....we grew up 2gether - 1980 to 1988 we were pratically 2gether EVERYDAY!!...not only are U one of my best friends, we are family; BLOOD..I have never been this crippled with news of death - even when I lost my wonderful Dad - this Eddies death is the worst news and most impacting I have had all my life. I love u so much..and I am mad and angry and not in any mood to say ashia, or be reflective or worldly in how I approach this..this shit succs....but it goes to show us all what we must do every day of our lives....hold family and friends CLOSE....and do what Eddy always did - call up everyone constantly..tell them you love them and you're thinking about them and do it ALL the time, cos you never know....I cannot believe you are gone massa...this is nonsense!!! All the same, David now has a new father in me and so does the baby..we will take care of each other...rest in peace knowing that you're family will protect and provide for Jackie and the babies....
We'll see each other soon....say hi to your our fathers and rest in eternal peace....

I love you very much and hate the fact that I did not have a chance to see you in more than 17 years. It was an honor being part of your leadership team back in Sacred Heart. Thanks for teaching us all how to be first class gentlemen. See you later.

May your soul rest in peace

'Peace,perfect peace...'Eddy,as far back as I can remember you when you came to Form 1 in SaHeCo and throughout your school life,you epitomised 'Peace' and the manner you have quit the scene confirms this.
I just called Felix a while ago and spoke with him - we are all medused.I share the grief with Sammy and Arnold as well.Petit frère,I dough my hat to you.Aurevoir...

Francis Ndikum (KOHI)Douala

Boky! The pain is too much in my heart. A big brother in SAHECO who did not hesitate to decipline us. Again I met you in ABU, still you did not hesitate to advise me. Big brother, I am really grieved you left so suddenly. I wanted to see more of your determination, but God said "Come by Me". May you rest in perfect peace.

Eddie, the news of your sudden passing came as a big shock to all of us, your friends and family.A devastation !
A real gentleman you were, always neat and well dressed, even in the football field, where we shared great moments together.You were brought into the world by David and you've left little David to comfort your beloved, Jackie. Rest in the Perfect PEACE of the Lord!

May your soul rest in perfect peace Edie. We shall remember you in our prayers. Bye bye my captain.

Eddie,
It is hard to take it; but God alone knows why he has to call you to His side so soon. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Eddy,As I read through the entries of others the reality of your passing away become even more palpable. I wipe off a tear, no, two, three... and my whole body shakes as it is filled with believe that at last you are gone.
Eddy, what can I say? The words that come to mind ar many, each one with a labyrinth of emotions leaving me in a sense of disorientation.
May the Almighty continue to bless you eternally

Eddie! This shocking and painful blow left me speechless!... I was blessed to have known you as a wonderful big brother from the SAHECO days. A perfect gentleman then and always. May you continue your journey in faith and peace...An angel to watch over those you left behind, especially your wife, kids and family. RIP!!!

Beloved Eddy,

Goodbye from this evil world. All of us must quickly carry out the task assigned us by God for there is little time left before the night falls and all work comes to an end. Your night has fallen but the word of the Lord which lasts forever is what you've got left and that message is the Goodnews that was preached to you. By God's grace you are counted worthy of being raised from the dead because you believed in our Lord Jesus Christ hence you are bound for heaven. There you shall not marry and shall never die again but will be like an angel and a son of God for you will be raised up in a new life from the dead. Therefore be glad as you enter your rest in the Lord, that your joy may be complete for as an angel he may use you to minister to us. Asleep in Jesus, peaceful sleep from which nonever wake to weep. We love you and we'll miss you for a while. See you soon, when we'll meet to part no more.

Eddie,
Your death reminds us that this life is nothing but a vapour, and while here, our sole duty is to have a relationship with God and do His will.
You were a respectful and kind gentleman.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace, AMEN.

Edward Fosah and the meaning of life

Although, I did not get to know him in person his dead has stroke me.A life too young to loose with so much energy and passion for making a difference.May Edward 's life be remembered for what it was worth for humanity and acomplished for the glory and honor of whoever created the world and gave us life and takes it away whenever.

If we could all just die in a sleep without being bogged by any form of violence,would that not be fun but only if we have lived as long as we ought to live? Yet, we do not know how long we shall all live but Edward's life tells me that there are also quiet and peaceful moments when we can depart this world and that it is neither our fault nor the fault of any external forces that cut our lives so short.

In our strive to live and live well ,there is only so much we can do and the rest lies in the hands of providence.Whatever the outcome, every life be lived well and be honored and respected and cherished always.If we have the least opportunity in the world,be a stepping stone to your fellow humanity and not a stumbling block because life is not only for a while but it is most pleasant when we find joy in making a difference on the lives of others even only for a day. I believe that our highest craving in life is not only for ourselves but also for others.Although it may be shortlived as in the case of Edward,fact is whenever we have the slightest moment of encounter and engagment with reality and humanity, do not miss to set the standards and break open the spring of smile to make someone's day with your gifts and spirits a transforming life experience.You do not know at all if you would have that chance again.We are visitors on this earth and we will never pass through it again once we are gone but what we do shall leave an everlasting footprint on the minds and lives of many who know us and shall come to know,anyway.

Death always makes me to wonder but simultaneously I ponder over the question of who am I and why am I here and where I am heading to in life, and what if my world ends in this peaceful sleep like Edward's? What I have enjoyed about celebrating the life of loves ones is a public recognition of their deeds for the commongood.Their good works shall follow them wherever they go as well as remain a life long memory for coming generations to know that some humans like Edwards and others who have parted the human community for a while,had the chance to happen on this earth and changed lives forever.You can tell for sure.

Peace to the soul of this departed brother,friend ,husband and son to all that knew him, valued and hailed him and most particularly to a son and wife who must grief and wrestle with the agony of Edward's physical absence.God have mercy on all of us and help us were we are weak and lead to know what we do not if knowing will change anything about ourselves and others.How and why this has happened,if physicians say what they have to say,so be it and if we can learn from it,well good for humanity.Their good works shall follow them and may all the good deeds of Edward follow him to his final resting place and beyond but most importantly, may his good examples be a blessing to his family,friends, colleagues ,community and world.

life is very meaningful and was made on purpose for us who seek to discover our purpose and meaning as we forge ahead to challenge and shame the negativism of a philosopher who once thought all is useless. I guess I am saying that it is not useless.Everyday and every deed is useful and must be used accordingly for the blessing of our lives and that of our fellow humanity.

Thanks to Edward for his life and for everything that his life means to us still struggling in this place called the world.We will definitely ,whether by design or faith/fate meet to part no more. Dead is only a passing onto a totally different experience that only the one enjoying knows how it is so good and just don't bother now.It is only a matter of time.

Blessing and peace to those who mourn.

This was a very tough news.Men!!!! I refused to receive it for a while.This world is not our home really. We are passing through.Your maker requested for you. May he (God Almighty)receive your soul with gladness. Rest in Perfect peace

May you rest in peace Edward. I still remember watching the movie "thorn birds" for the first time with you and Abongwa Clement at your family house up station in 1986 during an outing from SAHECO.

The news came as a bomb shell to me. My memory was quick to scan eventful days back in ABU. How? Why? We may have many questions lingering in our minds. Only God knows why you have to go now. May you sleep in the Lord.

Dearest Eddie:
Words cannot express the pain in my heart right now, to think that I spoke to HOURS before your departure!!! As we ended our conversation on that fateful Thursday, you said 'I love you' as you always did. You will be sorely missed! I pray that with time, I will remember you not with sadness, but with gratitude and love for the fond memories. REST IN PEACE big brother, rest in peace!!

Its such a shock to hear of ur departure.May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Dear Bokassa.na which kind treat be dis?

Eddy, "May your soul rest in perfect peace and may the souls of the faithfull departed rest in peace,Amen"

Eddy, as you Stand in the presence of God almighty and all the holy ones, taking a watch over us down in this mortal world in which you departed GRACEFULLY, ask your father, our father in Heaven to look with pity upon us.

RIP Brother.
