Sister, your prodigal son has returned home! Your prodigal son is calling, but you haven't responded. Your son has returned home, but the home is empty of your love, warm embrace, and your presence. My heart is filled with sorrow and regret, yet also with deep gratitude and love for the time we spent together, the laughter through the happiest times, and so many memories we created. Sister’s heart was wide enough to hold more than just her own, and many of us found shelter in her love. Sister had a special kind of heart; she took me into her home, gave me shelter, food, and a car, and opened her heart to me when she knew nothing about me.
Her love for her children ran deep. It was lived out in the early mornings, the late nights, the tough talks, and the endless prayers. She will brag about everyone one of them and she never lets them forget how proud she was of them. Even through pain, like the accident we all remember, Sister never lost that inner light. It hurt her, but she faced it with grace and forgiveness. She taught me something powerful in that moment: that holding onto love is harder but braver than holding onto anger. She chose to hold onto love, and to that I’m grateful. Sister wasn’t perfect, but she was real. She was strong, wise, and funny. Her home was full of laughter, food – always too much food- because love lived there.
To Dad, sis Afia, bra Kwadwo, bra Kwabena, Akua, nana Adwoa, Summy, Maame Akos, and everyone who was loved by her: I know your hearts are heavy, but I know Sister gave everything she had—her love, life lessons, laughter, and memories. That is something death can never take. Let’s all hold onto what Sister left behind.
Rest well, sister. You were one of the good mothers God gave us, and you will always be with us in every laugh, in every moment we choose to love as you did, and in every moment we choose to forgive as you did. We will all strive to live our lives according to God’s master plan, and I know for sure I will see you when Jesus appears in the sky and calls out your name.
With Love,
-Akwasi-

Dear Ampaw family, I may not have known mama while she lived with us, but the plethora of messages I have read on this platform about her speak to her kindness and hospitality. I therefore join family members, friends and well wishers to extend my condolences to this family of believers. I pray for God’s strength and grace to live through this moment of grief. Fare thee well, Mama and we hope to embrace you on the resurrection morning.
