"My parents live above 100years and we just need to live by example. As christians we should learn to sleep without grudge. Do not let the sun go down on your anger, go to bed without bearing grudge", words of Minister Paul Atanga Nji, telling mourners at the funeral mass of his mother at the cathedral in Bamenda.
The one time mass boy who served as a regular mass servant in the years 1957/1968, admitted that though very hard in aspects of administrative duties, he will not relent efforts upholding his faith as a Christian.
"Though I remain hard in my activities, I remain a Christian. My parents live above 100years and we just need to live by example. As christians we should learn to sleep without grudge", Paul Atanga Nji, son of mammy Marceline Neza Atanga.
Just like a dirge, he admitted that the gospel was a perfect summary, a reflection of his mum's life and described her beauty, style that earned her many awards as part of his eulogy.
"We wanted to give Mami a simple burial because she lived a simple life, though she was not an ordinary woman. I wish to add that she was a beautiful woman and won many awards to her name as she was perfect in dressing".
"Mum said do not mourn me, give food and drinks to everyone. She took care of anyone and everyone who came arround her without descrimination", Minister Paul Atanga Nji.
The bereaved familly had an overflowing crowd that came to console them, the elite and familly did all they could to make they fufilled Mama's wish..." Do not mourn me, but give food and drinks to everyone".
