When Rachel Hale asked me to be a part of the Tribute Team I hesitated because it had been so long, what could I possibly say about you after all these years. However I said yes and went and spent awhile on your FB Profile, as I browsed through your profile that radiant, affectionate and magnetic smile brightened my heart and took me down memory lane! Assistant Senior Prefect Boys, CCAS Kumba 1996/1997 you have dealt us a big blow. Back in the days, we were like one big family Arts and Sciences students blending together. Sadly, today I cast my eyes around and see everybody; Epitime Tarh, Ngah Elvis, Ekalle Von, Degoh Ivo, Ben Baiye, Mbi walters, Spencer Orock, Motopoh Esinoh, Jim Nnoko, Agbor Roland, Adeline Sede, Rachel Hale, Yvonne Essengue, Mercy Nguesang, Andin Tita, Ebude Joan,Lobe Ebenye Catherine,Ngonji Eric...but not you! You were a natural born leader. How I used to admire you execute your duties, there was no messing around you hahahaha! Even the most stubborn students on campus knew this! Little did they know that behind that facade of sternness laid a warm soul! MEMEGO whatever happened to that iron will; whatever happened to that resilience; giving up was never a trait of yours. You fought your battles well always concealing your fears and doubts behind that smile of yours. You matched brains with physical strength; why not this last battle Bro, was this one, one too much for you this time? Is death as cunning as they say that you were lulled so easily into its cold arms? Though we mourn today we will forever remember that trademark smile you left us even at the last. It’s true we drifted apart, like many friends do when separated by 1000s of miles. I’m sorry that I didn’t stay in closer contact with you but I can still hear that booming laughter of yours that rocked your whole body. I know you sleep in the Bosom of the Lord because even after all these years I’m certain you didn’t waver in Faith at any point in time. Till we meet again Bro, R.I.P. Boh Wang Nku Therese (SP Girls 1996/1997).

You will forever remain in our hearts. Gone but not forgotten
