Adzo, I’ve gone from deciding simply to maintain your tribute in my coronary heart to now penning this little observe to you.
As you may think about, your departure has left me with extra questions than solutions. One reply I get repeatedly is “She has completed her work. Let her go …”, and sure, Adzo, you might have delivered loads of work.
The whole lot from going underground as a geologist to deliver up gold, working with corporations to ship their messages and managing their relationships and repute, to being the thoughts, coronary heart and face of Ghana amongst buyers. Being a terrific, loving, dutiful daughter to your mom and father who had been so pleased with you, a passionate large sister to your two child brothers, and a doting mom to your princess, Katherine Pleasure. A treasured one too too many, many seated right here at this time and past.
Adzo, your departure is past painful, however I select to give attention to the great thing about your love, for me and for the quite a few younger folks female and male that you simply mentored. You took on the load of many younger girls and infrequently lived by way of their joys and pains with them. You turned a sister, good friend and mom to
many many younger girls, usually indignant in regards to the points they had been having to take care of.
Adzo, working with you was so lovely and straightforward since you appreciated and loved excellence.
You liked God and sought to please him in all the things you probably did. I noticed you reside this until the very finish. On the morning of Sunday seventh April 2024, I selected to worship with you alone and the scripture that got here up within the devotional we used was John 19:25-30.
The anchor textual content was, ‘When he had acquired the drink, Jesus stated, “It’s completed” With that he bowed
his head and gave up his spirit.’ “Tetelestai” – a invoice had been paid, a job completed, a sacrifice supplied, a masterpiece accomplished. For me on the time, it meant just one factor, that your struggling and ache in all their kinds had been going to be over and also you had been going to come back out stronger and even higher and realise all of the superb goals you had, the plans we shared.
From then on, our prayers had been simply prayers of gratitude…however our Father who so generously gave you, this lovely present, to us had a unique plan. You completed your job right here on earth to take up a extra noble project again in heaven from the place you had been gifted to us, for heaven is aware of your work and value.
Kwame, Kofi, Zara, Nana and your favorite little ones within the house- the Lilliputians as you referred to as them (Katherine being the large!), -are all lacking you. You introduced all of us a lot pleasure.
Everybody in the home had a particular place in your coronary heart. Our house is just not the identical with out you. Korkor remains to be dazed. My total household is grieving. My associates who encountered you’re simply so heartbroken. I’ve usually discovered myself selecting up the telephone to name you, or opening the home gate and anticipating to see your automobile parked with you ready to welcome me along with your heat embrace…
Adzo, I nonetheless catch myself asking, How might this occur? I believed that “Tetelestai” in your case meant a brand new life right here on Earth however, because the hymnist says,
Blind unbelief is certain to err, And scan his work in useless;
God is his interpreter, And he’ll make it plain.
We thank God that He gave you Katherine, your Pleasure, to whom you gave your all. Could she develop to honour you and to be a girl after your individual coronary heart. Your pricey Uncle Tsatsu says, You bravely battled by way of very tough circumstances.
Now God has taken away the earthly tent with its ache and hurts. Your beneficiant spirit triumphs. Your impression survives. You stay in our hearts –at all times. You stay in our house –at all times. We miss your hearty laughter. We miss that twinkle –typically of mischief –in your eyes. We miss the extraordinary sharing. We love you!
“Tetelestai”- Your work on this earth is completed my beloved treasured jewel, Adzo, Adwoa, Ewuradwoa, Adzovi Dumor.
Rise and rejoice in Glory!
