Tribute by
University of Cape Coast Ladies’ Club

We have gathered here today in memory of our dear colleague, Mrs. Akwesi. When we heard that she was no more, we were shocked and saddened. Death had taken away a genuinely warm individual, more importantly, a loving mother and deprived many others, including us all of a good colleague.

Your heart of gold has stopped beating, you have developed wings and heaven has gained an angel. Our hearts are broken but God needs you more. Losing one of our members has been one of the most difficult things we have ever gone through. Mrs. Akwesi was one of the founding members of UCC Ladies’ Club and was very passionate about the Club.

Her special charismatic personality was readily apparent. She was committed to improving our club and always supporting everyone without hesitation. She had a gift of innovative thinking, a visionary spirit and an unwavering patience required to successfully lead a meaningful life.

In addition to being devoted to the Club, she was an amazing person who made everyone happy. She was selfless, generous, uncompromising and a great teacher to us. Her unwavering commitment to the club when she was an active member is greatly appreciated.

While we mourn the loss of a colleague, we pay tribute and celebrate a life that was well lived. Words, even the very best of words cannot pay tribute or truly capture the sense of loss that we feel. The loss is there, tangible, and real within everyone but we take consolation in the Maker.

Today, we honour her by profoundly feeling and expressing our loss, but also remembering Mrs. Akwesi as an amazing person who has played a special role in our lives. Ladies as usual visited Mrs. Akwesi and little did we know that she was going to her Maker. Life can be fleeting but life lived to the fullest, stays in fond memories.

We wish you farewell in your journey to eternity. It was a privilege for us to have you been part of us.

Fare thee well.
