Zacchaeus Tanto Gwei - Sitio Web Conmemorativo En Línea

Papa I did not know leaving Cameroon was the last time I will see you. For the short time that I have come to know you, I am reminded of the great father you have been. You were hard working, caring and loving to all your children and everyone around you. Papa, you have thought us so much: to be hard working, loving and to show no discrimination and you have helped many to be what they are today. All we can say is, “thank you papa”.

Papa the last time we talked you were looking forward to seeing your granddaughter Shamma Ma Lokeh Grace (your wife). Yes, I told her that grandpa is waiting to see her! What will I tell her now? Papa, it is hard to believe that you are not here anymore, but, we know you are with our heavenly father resting in peace where there is no more trouble, no sickness and no sorrow. We love you and will forever miss you, but just for a while for we know we will one day meet to be together with our Lord forevermore. May your soul rest is peace.

Papa thank you for waiting for me, your “whiteman”, your minister of cleanliness, your very mom, Libu. I came back, shared moments with you, cooked for you, chatted with you, sometimes we disagreed, especially your categoric refusal to leave Ntumbaw. We separated at 3 corners Kakar on Thursday as you and Oliver headed to Ndu to buy materials to arrange your house and the fence. We said goodbyes and the following Thursday you left for your “journey of no return” without saying goodbye. So your refusal to come with Oliver to Tatum was hiding something. Remember you always told us well in advance that you were to travel, but this time around you went without even saying goodbye. Why, why,  why? See how dumbfounded we are, running helter-skelter! Where do we go to now, to who? Papa why? Who will always say “Let us pray and pray for us? So so sudden. We are going to learn to live the hard way. Thanks pap, you left us in the bossom of the ALMIGHTY. We will keep the Faith, live rightly as you thought us and will miss you, until we meed again. Adieu

Dear Uncle,

     You came to my life when I needed you most. Thank you for bringing me up and making me what I am today. You thought me to be hard working, honest, caring, courageous and non-discreminatory especially with children.  You loved to live with many children and nobody could ever detect the difference between your children and the others. You were an exemplary father and I must thank God for the life you lived and the wonderful surviving lessons you gave me. I pray that God should give me the wisdom you had so that I should be able to live the way you lived.
 
    I watched you move peacefully into transition and I saw the direct hand of God in your transition from this world to the world beyond. The manner in which you passed on to glory reflected your many prayer sessions proving to me that you were really a man of God. It was a painful experience indeed, but I was comforted with the peaceful manner in which you moved on to meet our Almighty Father in heaven. Uncle, I loved you, but God loves you more and may your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

The crackling shrill voice of Pa ZT Gwei was unmistakably authoritative, enthusiastic and critical. Whenever Pa reached out it was always clear what his state of mind was as he made little effort to dissimulate his feelings and opinions. I will miss that strong sense of forthrightness. He was very much like the outspoken and direct Dutch.

I remember Paa ZT from the days my family used to drive home to Ndu through Ndop.  My late dad would always stop in Ndop to greet his sister and Pa. My bonds with the Gwei family run that deep.  Our children always remember with great joy their first ever Polaroid picture proudly taken by Pa ZT himself when we called visiting at his market house in Ntumbaw many years ago. Pa was always present in our home. He was also always present when we had sad moments and happy moments in Njiningo.

We must all stand together in family love and unity to now bid Pa farewell and ponder how we can prosper his legacy and live in that unity and love to which Christ calls all of us.

Papa you left without a word to me. I thought I was coming back for us to go for your usual checkup, but you were nowhere to be found! So, papa, what should I tell Dr. Cabral and his nurses in the cardiac center? Should I tell them that you are coming to pray for them and crack jokes with them? Pa, it is time for the men’s choir to sing and they are waiting for the conductor and you are not there!

Papa, it is very difficult to believe that you are no more! We miss you and will forever miss you, but what comforts me is that I know you are resting with the Lord.

Papa, rest in Peace.

Your daughter
