A TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR DAUGHTER

Pamela my dear daughter the news of your death send hot waves of sadness in me that has refused to fade away.
Your death at the prime of your life has created a big vacuum in our mist which will be hard to fill. Why go so soon dear?
No answer from your end or our end.
You did your best to mankind in your kind and gentle ways with prayers to your almighty God all the time and we prayed for you, we miss you dearly.
We loved you so much, but the Lord your creator loves you best. He has called you to be by his side to have peace, joy and happiness forever more.
Go rest in peace with God amen, till we meet again.

LOVE MAMA
ALICE NJEUMA.

My dearest sister Pam,

This is truly hard for me to write. You were more than a sister in law to meyou were my friend, my confidant, my sounding block. Words cannot express the void I feel inside, just knowing I will never be able to benefit from your wise counsel, I will never be able to see your face this side of heaven, I will never be able to call you every day on my drive home from work. You truly exemplified Christ in the way you lived your life. Always ready and willing to forgive others; to speak kindly of everyone and to seek the forgiveness of others even when they deeply wronged and hurt you. I always marveled at that and prayed to have the same Christ like spirit. You treated everyone with the love of Christ. One word always comes to my mind when I think of you and that is GRACE. You were truly a woman of grace, your love for Christ and your complete dependence on His will has inspired me. You were strong until the very end. You gave this life everything you had to giveyou have left behind quite a legacy. Even though I miss and I know I will never see your beautiful smile or hear your encouraging words, or pray and cry with you, I know this is not goodbye. I know where you are, because to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Till we meet again in Glory sister Pamall my love Linda Nangah

Oh!! Grande souer... My heart bleeds. What a profound loss!!. You were the solid rock on which I stood. Your love for me was so unconditional and never questionable. Thanks mom.
You finally went home to meet your dad in a place were you longed and labored for,for so long. You were a true and faithful ambassador of christ. You brought so many including myself to the kingdom. You blessed me with the priceless gift of life...
My SALVATION. I can hear you screaming.. Hallelujah!!!!!! Thank you so much mom.
My salvation guarantees me eternal life. A life were we will meet again with no cancer or any of our struggles grande souer. What a life that will be!!!
Life here and now, is so empty without you. I mourn today because of my selfishness and the enormous void that your absence has left. I cry not for you, but for myself because I miss you so much and miss everything about us. I worry not about you because you are exactly where you want to be
I know all your worries and struggles.REST,,,,Assured that I will do my best.
You were the best big sister anyone could ever ask for Thanks mommy Pam
I will be faithful to the kingdom until we meet again.
I will forever LOVE YOU

Pam, you are the personification of compassion, a quality so rare these days. I can't say goodbye because I know we will meet again. A Bientot (See you later)

Words seem so inadequate to describe Auntie Pamela. Webster's seems lacking of material to describe how her laugh filled a room with joy. I cannot find anything in the lexicon to describe how her presence brightened every place she entered. Thank you seems far to hollow of a response for all the discipline, wisdom, and love she brought to me. The only worthy tribute is being able to see how many people's lives she has touched and how much better the world is for having her in it for far too brief of a time.
I will always love you

In Remembrance of my daughter Pam's eternal Faith and Love.

Faith , Love, Dignity, Courage, Strength, are all words that describe my daughter Pamela Ngum Nangah; a peace maker , adorable mother and devoted to her family and friends.

Even now I do not think I can describe the endless night of August 24, 2017. At 2: am I held your hands , prayed and stretched my hands to the LORD,Pamela you know that I have always called you a child of God, if it is your time for you to go and see your Father, let O LORD thy will be done .The hours that passed, as family and friends gathered in the Atlanta hospice center room, a smile in your face and peaceful. My daughter Pam, you have gone to rest in the peace of Christ with Faith . You kept reminding me of Faith in the Lord, my wise daughter. And you always told me don't you have faith? The Faith according to the gospel Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

Pam was a blessing to me, her sisters and brothers, nephews and nieces, grandnephew, friends and many more people. Oh! Pam was a light in any room, people loved her and she was kind and unbelievably supportive. Pam was a loving, selfless and devoted daughter, sister, friend who, each year, generously acknowledged and participated in the birthdays , graduations, and special events of many family and friends whom she held dearly. Her life of faith, courage and strength was resonant as she battled breast cancer. She had much pain during her years fighting cancer, all of the doctors and nurses marveled at her positive attitude. Pam made the last months of her life not sad or terrifying, but fulfilled with faith in the Lord, profound positive experiences, special moments of hope and precious moments with family and friends than I could have imagined. Even knowing that she could no longer participate in many activities due to the cancer, she told people "I'm going to be there" and made the trip to California from Atlanta in February to see her grandnephew Titan baptized and continued to participate in local events and activities including cooking. Pam was a prayer warrior, prays with her family, church family and friends and each day she gave us a sense of purpose in life with daily gospel verses and prayers and in her own words I shall live to testify to Irene that cancer will not kill me, my sister who was more worried about my cancer than me battling cancer. All is well.

My daughter Pam was generous, kind, loving, funny, and had strong Faith in the Lord and was loved by many and always there for those in need. I miss you Pam desperately every single day .Pam, you are a child of God and I know that God is with me and when I am at my lowest, I cry out and He hears me, but even with God by my side, it is a slow and extremely painful process.

I pray for comfort for my family, friends, and all those grieving over our loss.
I will miss you Pam forever my dear daughter, but my hope is to be with you some day and to celebrate the Faith and Love of God together. Our family is not the same again without you, but there is hope that happiness will again come into our lives, your love and memory will remain in our hearts forever gently urging us to pursue God's purpose and Faith for our lives.

Faith , Love, Dignity, Courage, Strength, are all words that describe my daughter Pamela Ngum Nangah; a peace maker , adorable mother and devoted to her family and friends.

She leaves us with this legacy . If there is one verse of scripture which captures her best, it is perhaps the description of a gracious woman in the final chapter of the book of Proverbs. It says: Strength and dignity are her clothing and she laughs at the time to come. We praise and thank God for her.

May God bless my daughter Pam, and may she rest in eternal peace.
Your beloved mother
Monica Neba.

Farewell Pam. We will miss you. Let your light continue to shine on us.
Ray

Our Dearest sister pam, auntie, and grandma thank you for your inspiration, your strength your love and care and always have the energy to cook for us and always have a smile on your face and telling us funny stories about your life and making sure the children were doing well in school and behaving themselves and if they act up you would say come here my friend and they knew you were serious. You would explain to them what they did wrong. When I called to see how you were doing and if you couldn't answer the phone you would always call me back. Even though we miss you very much we know you are in a better place. May your spirit continue to guide us may your soul Rest In Peace until we meet again. Love Kelvin ,Beri,Allen,Nicholas and Titan.

Dear our beloved Auntie Pamela we will dearly miss you but we will see you again one day in the promise land. I'm really sorry I didn't call you that much like I should have been. I remember that one day in elementary school when a kid was not being nice at all then you came in and told that kid "I'm like Madea I'm your worst nightmare". That really felt like you had my back. See you in the promise land, love your nephew Allen.

Dear Auntie Pam,
My earliest memories of you are as a disciplinarian. Your signature phrase was come here my friend' which meant someone was getting a butt whopping. As I grew older I came to appreciate the irony in that statement and we laughed about it together when I was a teenager. I will miss all the laughs we shared after not seeing each other for months at a time. You're in a better place now but you will be dearly missed here.

My Dearest Auntie Pam,
I will miss you, and i know you are resting peacefully. you took care of everyone around you an i was blessed to be included in that list: when i was 9 or 10y/o, you bought me all a girl could want as I went to boarding school. Thank you for your light and love. Rest in Peace. Love you always.

Pam: Gone but not forgotten. Your love and care to many of us will never be forgotten. The United African Women Organization of Michigan whom you bonded with so much mourn for the great loss. We Know you are at peace. So our dear sister, rest in peace until we meet again. And do not worry, Mfawa is in good hands.

My dearest aunty Pam... that's what I called you, because of your caring, sisterly and motherly love you shared all the time. I can't begin to talk about our many conversations on the faithfulness of God we had through your fight and battle, you stay strong, not wavering in faith and hope in the Lord. You loved the Lord with all your heart, you were a beautiful human being, always caring for others. You took everyone as family... you fought a good fight and the Lord thought it time to bring you home to Rest. I thank God for the times we had together, I will miss you so much, our talks, laughter and just times we just spent 10-20mins praising God for his goodness. When I think about you, I hear your distinct laughter and it gives me hope again. May you rest in perfect peace. I LOVE YOU aunty Pam!

Rest in peace till we meet again. I enjoyed your gentle smile, warm embrace, graciousness, toughness and dignity when we visited in May. Thanks for the good, timely presurgery counsel and support you gave me.
You always called me "big brother". I miss you already.

My beloved sissy Pam, still can't believe you are gone. I still hear your voice around me and I feel your presence around me. You were my big sissy too. I love you soo much. You were such a sweet and generous sissy. Remember how you gave me your van when I needed a Car? I will never forget that. You loved your little sister and I witness that love when you were moving to Atlanta with the kids and you guys stopped in Columbus Ohio to see us. I will never forget your reaction when we said our goodbyes to Evelyn. I saw true sisterly love. Sissy Pam, you will forever occupy a special place in my heart for you were my big sissy from another mom. I know you are rejoicing with the Angels in Heaven because you are a child of the most high God! Thanks for being a part of my life. Sleep well till we meet again. Tons of love sissy Pam

when God says yes its final; He saw you in pains; cancer pains and saw your mom, your daughter, your sisters, friends weeping by your bed side The Lord said enough and sent for you; go home Pamy and take your rest;
love you girl

Death knows no boundaries my darling sister, I never knew I will sit down on a day like this to write a tribute to you, it came too soon than I expected. Well my darling sister you opened your doors to me in Washington DC without even knowing me only because we share the same NANGAH you made me believe that blood is stronger than water. Sister Pam your life on earth was such that I will treasure for the rest of my life as a sister and my personal person because you were a gentle soul full of wisdom, always willing to entertain in your home. I cannot really recall anytime that I saw you angry for the past years together no matter the circumstances. God put people in our lives for different reasons, if there's anything I've learned from you is your free spirit of life and your faith in God. Fifteen years ago when Marie died you gave me the strength that I needed because I wasn't able to go and now you left me alone. WHY! WHY! WHY!
Well sis you fought a good fight for five years and God needed another angel in heaven to watch over us, and you were the chosen one. I try not to cry but is very difficult especially when I know that I can't talk to you anymore. I still feel your presence around me but can't touch you hmmmm. I pray that the almighty God will grant you peace and happiness. Tell Dad, Marie, Tari and the rest of the family members up there to watch over us. Last but not the least thank you for giving us such a wonderful daughter Mfawa she will continue your dream on earth with the faith of Christ that you've instill in her. She will be fine.
IT IS WELL SISTER PAM. REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!! STILL WE MEET AGAIN.!!!!!

No matter how much I disappointed you, you loved me with all your heart and just wanted me to become a better person. All I can truly say at this point is I will love you with all my heart till the day I die and I promise to grow up and become the man you always wanted me to be.

Pam , my friend , my sister, the pain in my heart since your passing, can be touched physically. Pam it hurts real bad. You were a friend that stuck closer than a brother! Gosh ! Did I just talk of you in the past tense? God why? Too many questions,too few answers.. like why should you go away so soon? Like why should Mfawa be without you, like, like ..and the questions are endless...but who am I to question God? I will console myself with the beautiful moments we shared. Pam, you were selfless! Every body's problem was your problem. You were a burden sharer par excellence... even at the height of your health challenges, I remember you calling me to tell me I should send my kids to live with you in Atlanta so that you take care of them, you told me after all you are home not working because of I'll health. That was the type of person you were, relegating your own problems to the back to be able to make others more comfortable.. Pam , you were a fighter, and even this illness i will remember how much you fought.. you fought it with all your strength. You gave us hope when at times we thought the situation had become hopeless. I thank you for the strength you potrayed which kept us going every day with Hope for the best. Helas! You bowed out! Did the illness win? No , it may have won this battle but you have won the victory... you are where there is no more illness or sadness. We give God Glory. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. We will see you in the rainbow ,most especially ,we will see you in your daughter, our daughter Mfawa' s smile. You are in a better place now, so my dear sister Pamela, good night, sleep well and have your rest. We will see you in the morning

The Kolleh family, would like to extend our condolences to the Djoumessi family, her lovely daughter Mfawa, Mother Ma Monica and the Wakam Family.
"What a friend we have in Jesus". Pam was a friend, auntie mother and sister. Whenever you called her about a problem she listened and said "it is well, God is in control". She always had a word of encouragement despite her illness. May you should rest in peace. The suffering is over. Goodbye Sis

Thank you for being my mommy. No one in this world will ever love me like you. You were my first best friend and confidant. We could just hang out with each other for hours laughing about anything and we would be the most content. I thank God everyday for the mother He gave me. I knew I could literally tell you anything. You have always been my source of hope and strength. Always putting everyone first before anything, especially me. I will miss running to call you every hour and giving you random details about each day, or listening to your advice on life, or even just the times we would sit and watch msnbc or cnn and talk politics. You will forever be my best friend mommy. This is not a goodbye because I will see you in Heaven on the other side of eternity where we will never be separated again. I know that this earth is only our temporary home and God loved you so much He took you out of the pain you were in here to be in paradise with Him. I can't wait till I am with you and God. Your faith in Him even when it seemed all was lost was so inspiring to so many people. You fought so hard and so fiercely up until the very end and in my opinion you did beat cancer because you are in so much peace and happiness regardless. You will always remain in my life and in my heart. I pray I can even be half as amazing of a mother to my children as you were to me. I know you are happy because you and mommy Tari have finally reunited and I know both of you will always have my back. I love you mama. Don't have too much fun without me.




Your baby, Mfa-Mfa

To say I will miss you is an understatement. You were such an amazing Mother, daughter, sister and friend. I am truly thankful for the time God granted us and I can't wait till we meet again.
I love you forever and always

Sister Pam,
We will miss you but we have fun memories of the time we spent together.
We will join you soon.
MAL Fobi

Dearest sister Pam, I couldn't imagine that you are called to be with the Lord. I shut my eyes anguishly and egregiously. You circumvent me to grow up as God fearing woman. You were the most prodigious and devout Sister everyone would loved to have.You were subservient to all the people you met on your way up.. You humble yourself down to earth as Christ said that if You want to be the greatest You have to humble yourself as a child. You were the most humble, diligent preeminent ,devout and tenacious woman of God that I have ever met. Your mellow spirit spur me to love you to death. You taught me how to tust in the lord in time of trials and tribulations, and not to rely on human beings.You taught me to be tenacious, meticulous, auspicious, extrovert, devout and do unto others, what you want them to do unto you. You taught me not to engage into gossiping and always speaking positive about people. You taught me to go my extra mile even for those you don't know and my reward will be greater in heaven. You treated me like your gold and your gem as if there is no one more important to you than me.
You fought this battle with grace and exuberant and was still called to be with the Lord . Who will I call and heed to all the advises you have inculcated in me. You will be highly missed . You will never be forgotten for all your altruistic heart, humble spirit you inculcated in us.
Every day I wonder if you will pick up that phone to call to check how my healing process is coming along. My beloved sister we will never stop praying for your soul until we are called to be with the you and the Lord.

So sorry to hear about her passing.
Praying for God's comfort and guidance during this time.

I never had the opportunity to see Pam ever since she left Douala for the USA.Now she is gone for ever!!!! However the hope that we have in the Lord is that she is finally resting pain free in him. We'll sorely miss that unmistakable bubbly personality always kind and generously loving
Bye Pamela!

TRIBUTE TO SISTER PAMELA

My dear sister Pam,
A non-judgmental sister you were; the true glue to our very large family.
You reached out to each & every one of us; ever there to hear us out, even when you were going through so much.
What a great, brave woman you were, with one of the biggest heart I know.
Glad to have spent a sisterly weekend with you in California before I came home.
You called to chit chat & ask about apartments in Buea; I know you are in an even better place in heaven.

You will be sorely missed, my namesake, and immediate big sis.
Fare thee well.
RIPP.

In Memoriam
PAMELA Pamie NANGAH
SAFE IN THE KEEPING OF GOD
I am Home in heaven, dear ones
Oh! So happy and so bright
There is perfect joy and beauty,
In the everlasting Light.

All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless yearning passed
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last

Dear one, do not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still,
Try to look beyond earth's shadow
Pray to trust our Father's will.

When your work is all completed,
He will gently call you home
Oh! The rapture of that meeting!
Oh! The joy to see you come!

Dwell in our hearts always my dearest little sister
Your Grande sur Maggie Galabe.

Pam,I still cannot believe Iam not going to see your lovely smile or hear your funny stories.God alone knows where you got these stories from.My dear sister you fought hard but God!s time is the best.We love you but God loves you more.We will always love you and miss you dearly. Rest In Peace little sister until we meet again.

A sister, a soft light, a mother, a friend, a confidant, a shoulder anytime to lean on ......... that's my sister Pam.
You find good even in places that others don't see, you were an advocate for unity and relationship amongst your siblings, friends and anyone you came in contact with. You were ever ready to offer any advice to Linda and I on any issue or answer any question as straight as you can and sometimes I wonder if you are Linda's sister or mine because I have always been the one taking the brunt no matter what it is. I laughed a lot when I get a call from you to discuss something Linda told you because I know I am in the dog house and I don't even try to explain as you told me too many explanations are excuses. I am going to miss you Sister Pam, Words cannot start to express who you are to me. All our discussions about kids, marriage, and faith were so important to you that you did spend a lot of time talking to me about those things.
From the long trips in the 90s to visit you in Detroit to the spirit deals to Atlanta, I am really blessed to have had a sister like you and I am at a loss because I won't have any again like you.
You showed us love, kindness and what it means to be a Christian. I remember when we first talked about the Bible and I could tell the anxiety in your voice that I even knew what a bible was after all the years. You strengthen my faith with your faith and constantly reminded us if we are living as Christians, we should also solve our problems as Christians no matter the type of problem.
Selfishness in me wanted to you to live forever but it's not my wish but God's will. You came to this world with a task and God decided your task has been completed and it's time for you to come home. I know you are resting in heaven with all the other angels and I will continue to draw on your strength and determination to be the best even in adversities.
Who you are and what you are to me no paper can contain. It warms my heart even with the hurt to know I had a sister like you and proudly say I enjoyed every moment with you through visits, texts or calls, I don't ever want to say good bye but that stay well rest in our maker and as we live the last parts of our lives may we be an example and a light to someone as you were to us. Rest my dear sister and may the Almighty Lord and Savior watch over you and grant us the fortitude to continue in his glory.

Your Brother

Dear Pam. You did finish the race and I know that you will collect your prize in God s kingdom.
I pray for God to give strength to all the loved ones you've left behind.
Rest in the bosom of the Lord till we will meet to part no more. Adieu, Pam.

Pamie, we have indeed lost a sister. I cannot think of any of your siblings whose life you did not touch positively in one way or the other. Some if us came to know you late in life but at the end it was as if you have been in our lives all the time. You truly cared for the peace and unity of the family and was there for everyone all the time. Your love was so pure and unbiased. To all the young ones you were a true confidant. They could come to you for advise and you would give them a very un- judgemental opinion because you realized that though they were your juniors, they were adults in their own right with lives to live with all the attendant mistakes we all make. This earned you a well-deserved respect. Thank you for leaving us with such wonderful testimonies of what a true christian sister is all about. Your life has really challenged me as it should all of us to wake up to our responsibilities of drawing and keeping this family together which was the only request papa made of us. If in all the pains and challenges you were going through you were still so selfless, praying and caring for the family what is my excuse?
We thank God because as It says in the bible, ' in all things we should give thanks to God', we know you are in a better place where there is no more pain or sorrow. My dearest sister rest in Peace and we truly miss you and will do so for eternity.

Tribute to my beloved younger sister Ngum
We were twins born on different years. I owe you my identity. You understood me more than anybody on earth with all my eccentricities. I always knew you had my back and could always count on you for anything. You were my spiritual guardian. You fought breast cancer with Grace and dignity. You did everything humanly possible and never waver on your faith. You hung on as long as you could for us. For that we are very grateful. Though we will miss you dearly we will always remember what you stood for. You were the glue in this family. You thought us to embraced each other because God did not make a mistake to put us together. You brought out the best of each one of us. Thanks for your guidance especially with my daughter. We will miss your daily spiritual verses. I feel so lost without you but like you always said "All is well". I do have hope . It will be difficult to continue all the future plans without you but I know you will be around to guide me. Though this is so difficult I have no choice but to move on. I know to count on you spiritually through the rough times.
Rest in Perfect Peace my beloved younger sister Pamela Ngum Nangah
Irene Bih

Shocked to hear about the dise of Pam. Our deepest condolences go to the Neba and Nangah families. May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
