Eulogy to Eve


Sister Evelyn,

The last time we spoke at length was on the 4th of May and our subject of discussion was that we were afraid we were missing one member of the family.  Thankfully, the Lord did not allow that to happen.  Little did I know that we will be missing you for real in just less than two months? 
I always look forward to talking with you because you are such an important person to me.  My wife Lilian was not only your sister but you were a father and mother to her.
When I got a "call me back" from your telephone number that fateful Friday night, I was excited to call you back but just to get the heart breaking news that you had already gone home!  To this very day, it is still very difficult for us to come to terms with the fact that you are no more. 
Just this year, I cannot count the number of times you've sent us food at the least opportunity that you see someone coming to Bamenda.  We did not even get the chance to say thank you for taking care of us.
Thank you very much for your silent lesson of love and concern for every member of the family. 

We will miss you so much
Adieu Eve, until we meet again in glory

~Frans, your brother-in-law
