Tribute to Mama Marcelline NEZA ATANGA
Here I am again, undertaking the daunting task of speaking about Mama Marcelline NEZA ATANGA. I was privileged as a son to get acquainted to you, to benefit from your love and prayers. Same as you gave food to many afflicted children, you were a philanthropist, a loving mother and grandmother to all children irrespective of their backgrounds. You raised these sons and daughters to great academic, professional levels for the well-being of the Nation and you taught them to be religiously inclined.
Married to a renowned citizen of this Region, you and your husband welcomed and opened your doors to the Pioneer President of this Nation alongside other iconic Statesmen into your historic Highland hotel. Today, we begin another journey in your honour to convey you to the bosom of the Lord whom you served wholeheartedly with devotion and commitment.
At this time, when you depart momentarily, we direct our prayers, thoughts and wishes to the family you leave behind. We cry unto the Lord Almighty with our hearts, hands and voices to accept you rest peacefully in his bosom, may He cater for the children you are leaving behind during these trying times, as he always does with orphans and the stricken.
As we wish you farewell till we meet again, we are confident that ‘‘mothers never die, they just keep the house up in the sky, they polish the sun by day and light the stars that shine at night, keep the moonbeams silvery bright and in the heavenly home above they wait to welcome those they love’’.

Tribute To Mama Marcelline Neza Atanga.
It is with a very heavy heart that I have to write this very short tribute because there are many more tributes involved knowing how Ma and Pa Atanga impacted the lives of too many people. It is difficult to talk of one of them in isolation from the other, especially since they are inseparable. Both of them contributed to the development of Bamenda town especially having spent valuable time and acquired various skills from Nigeria in those colonial days. One of their first exploits was the building of the Bamenda Highland Hotel. This was the first and biggest hotel in town which became the epicenter for weddings and all types of celebrations including political meetings and conventions of the KNDP of Dr. John Ngu Foncha and Hon. Augustine Ngom Jua and CUC of Solomon Tandeng Muna. I also remember that when I returned from further studies from London in 1963, I was given a rousing réception by the Mbatu community of the Old Town at this famous Hotel.
Mama was kind and generous to a fault. She was always available in times of need, very hard working and resourceful but a disciplinarian to the core. They were blessed with many children and they went the entire mile to give all of them the best education by sending them to prestigious secondary schools like Our Lady of Lourdes, Sacred Heart College, St. Augustine and St. Bedes Colleges. They ended up studying in universities in the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States of America. Their financial sacrifices were enormous and praise worthy. Their children are now all well accomplished and enterprising human beings.
There is no way one could ever visit Mama without her insisting on offering a meal regardless of the time constraints and no excuses would be accepted. She always arranged the dining table like that of a four star hotel; all embedded skills acquired from colonial masters in Nigeria. Sitting in their living room is like a religious museum with all sorts of sacramentals, pictures of various bishops and popes such as Bishop Pius Awa, Archbishop Paul Verdzekov and Cardinal Christian Tumi. One would never leave their beautiful home without Mama insisting on a parting prayer.
Ma and Pa Atanga were among the founding members of the Akum Welfare Association (A.W. A). Created in the nineteen fifties, it was one of the first institutions awarding scholarships to deserving students interested in studying in London. They were one of the pioneers who crafted the appellation of Akum as "Small London." Their white colonial masters came from "Big London" and by association they felt more civilized and called themselves "Small Londoners."
Mama Marcelline Neza Atanga was an exemplary example of a devoted and dedicated Catholic Christian. May the good Lord forgive her sins and reward her gentle soul with the crown of Heaven. Farewell Mama, until we meet again!

Manyi Neza (Mah), I just want to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. We won the parent lottery the day God picked you and Papa to be our parents. Growing up we knew that being identified with the Atanga Highland name came with a lot of high expectations and responsibilities, but the Blessing of being your children is what we will pass on to generations to come.
Your unwavering faith and trust in God are models I hope to follow, no matter which way the tides turn.
Your wisdom, generosity, sense of style, grace and elegance until your dying day is something I know I cannot measure up to.
What I value most about you is how you mothered the hundreds of children that you fostered. Every child you brought in, no matter the background was treated equally like family. You always said that they should leave better than they came. You made sure they had an education, learnt a trade and you would personally help them with their homework. I remember when I visited from the USA and you had the older children reading aloud to you so you could help them with their pronunciation.
Each year, no matter how many times I visited from the USA, you never stopped receiving us like you did with the standards of Bamenda Highland Hotel. From the room service to breakfast, everything was special. Once we decided to show up unannounced, thinking it would save you from all the preparations. That instead made you upset because it left you very little time to prepare the reception at the level you were accustomed to. You told us that next time, rather than show up unannounced, we should go to a hotel.
I can only say Thank You for the lessons and example. You taught us by example how to give unconditional love to the children you brought into our home. To always elevate those that are less fortunate or less powerful than we are. You made us work harder than the house help and children you brought home to care for.
I am grateful for all the times you called me or FaceTimed with me just to check if I was ok. During these last months you told us so many stories about your childhood and your parents. We spent hours on the phone or video calls and prayed and sang hymns like we did when I was growing up. Our last one was just two days before your transition to eternal life.
My greatest aspiration is to be a tiny fraction of the quality of woman that you were. Rest in the arms of the Lord. Manyi Neza, Rest in Perfect Peace.

My Mamma, "Mun Manyi Ndah" (as I fondly called you); where do I start? From the end or the beginning? I owe my life, all my blessings and everything I have become to you and Papa. But the greatest of all, is the blessing you gave me, by returning to the Lord in my arms on the 24th of July 2022.
Mamma, an encyclopedia would never be enough to write about you. I remember your relentless Faith, and praying with you till the very end. Every morning at 4am, you would get up before everyone for morning prayers. The pidgin English Stations of the Cross (which you said from memory), prayers for peace in Cameroon and the world, the Rosary for the Dead for all those who'd died that day (because you always said so many people have none to pray for them and the Legion of Mary Catena prayer, accompanied by our singing with musical instruments. I grew up seeing you and Papa prepare food for the homeless, prisoners and people with mental health disorders especially at Christmas. Right till the end, you constantly asked me if I had given food to the workers, guards and everyone in the house.
You were very empathetic and had a zeal to elevate others. You taught us to stand against injustice and never participate in the maltreatment and belittling of others. This is why the hundreds of children you took in and adopted as your own, left your house a million times better off than they arrived.
You were a beauty queen. Your grace and elegance always inspired me, and everyone who met you always told me they finally saw where my fashion inspiration came from. There is still so much more to say, but I could never say it all. I miss your humour, your love, everything! I am grateful for all the values you passed on to me. Mun Manyi Ndah. I will miss you.

A Tribute From Your Son, “Chi Tah Ndah” (Meaning Chi Father of The House)
When papa transitioned, it was difficult to put in words the feeling of losing a father because I was with him. It is even more difficult to express the vacuum you have left in my life. Some people go their entire lives without knowing the feeling of having a loving parent; I had two, you and papa. From the earlier days in life you taught me simple lessons that at the time felt like a bother but today have become the very essence I try to follow. Taking me to church every day at 4:00am, praying with St Jude, going to Legion of Mary prayers, cleaning the church, visiting the sick in the hospital, going to the orphanage and more. My love and appreciation for music is because you always took me to choir practice. I could have had the most expensive shoes or clothes or whatever I wanted; but you made it a point to give me what I needed. I would sneak out and go play football knowing exactly what was waiting for me at home when I returned. But after my lashing you will always embrace me, wipe my tears, and ask me if I wanted Ovaltine and Bread; which only you made to perfection.
The later years in life when I was in town to visit, after we came back from morning mass, we would sit just outside the door and talk for at least thirty minutes before going in the house. It was always about life lessons; never revenge, run away from anyone or anything evil, help others in need, don’t be selfish, never take someone’s money and not repay etc…
We started a project that we never finished as you left before I could deliver. You always asked me what will you tell papa when you see him. Well, tell him that the two of you were unfair to us. You both set the bar TOO HIGH for us to follow. In always trying to seek perfection I seem to be stumbling more and more. However, assure him God is in control and I will make both of you proud. I will miss you. I love so much. Rest in God till we meet again.

TRIBUTE TO A SPECIAL PERSON
Dearest Big Mami, as we fondly called you. God finally answered your most fervent prayer these past few years. You wanted to go home and be with your maker whom you have served delightedly all your life. You were a perfect example of a mother… not just to your biological children but all who crossed your path. You understood motherhood, you understood love, you understood people. You were quick to understand situations. Above all, you understood cause and effect that helped you live a conflict free life.
Saying that we’ll miss you is an understatement. We’ll miss our five-star hotel in your home. We’ll miss the constant food supply. We’ll miss your pleasant visits and telephone calls, most of all we’ll miss the constant prayers that shielded us from harm … you covered us like a mother her covered her chicks.
In spite of all that we’ll miss you, we are grateful for the quality time God allowed you to be with us. We are equally grateful for all the lessons learnt. We cannot thank God enough for blessing us with such a phenomenal human being. We will not despair by your demise but will continue to celebrate your life and live by your example.
As you go to join the heavenly hosts and all our departed family members, we implore you to continue to pray for us. We know that heaven has gained another saint. We who are still here have also gained another guardian angel.
Earl-Martin: We are all going to miss you so much. I wish I were able to see you one last time given I was not able to spend much time with you since I was in school. I hope you enjoy your time in heaven.
Arielle Akwen: We all say farewell. May your soul rest in peace. Thank you for always being there. Your memories will be in our hearts forever
Say hello to all our family members on the other side especially Mama Anne and Papa Atanga. Tell Mama Anne we miss her dearly. Rest in the bossing of the Lord, till we meet to part no more. Your memories will remain forever evergreen in our hearts. Farewell Big Mami

Dear Noble Mother,
Your love and constant prayers for us are the foundation on which we now stand in our family and careers. You lived in prayers and finally transcended into heaven praying. Though you were not an academic scholar, you taught me lessons that no professors could have ever taught me in this life. You always reminded me that although I have gone through university, I have not experienced the university of people and like a professor in that university of people, you taught me how to relate with different types of people and how to live through different life situations. You were a perfectionist who wanted the best in your children, and your children who followed your counsel indeed experienced the best in life no matter the circumstances. As a noble and great mother that you were, you equally loved all children who came your way without any discrimination. Adieu beloved mother. Your life will live with us all the days of our lives. Forever in our hearts. Noble mother
Your Son and Wife

Tribute from the City Mayor of Bamenda Mr Paul Achobang.
Our dearest mother ,it is so difficult about you in the past and in a summarised version. Mammy Marcelline Atanga lived her life by the teachings of the Bible as an exemplary Christian. Her attention towards the needy and underprivileged was remarkable.
For more than ten years since 2009 , Mammy ,her late husband Pa Joseph Atanga, thier daughter, Dr Marie Noella from ltal , myself and others will personally go to the orphanage in Abangoh to donate Scholarships , School materials, books ,computers, all types of food. The greatest was the medicines like Antibiotics ,antimalaria and all the various pediatric drugs you brought.
I remember Christmas of 2010 when Mammy donated a personalised Christmas gift bag to all the Children in the orphanage and even brought them a Christmas tree and decorations for them. You came all the years with Papa until when he was tired as he grew older you continued coming with your daughter Dr Marie Noella and your son from the USA Mr. Marinus Atanga always donating.
Mammy your faith in God was unwavering .
Mammy we will miss your delicious cuisine .
Your jama jama without tomatoes and your chips.
May the Heavenly Lord Bless your soul.
Mammy Atanga Rest in Peace.

Mamy You were a special woman, one of a kind. You were not a stepmother to me but a mother. In 27 years, I have never known your anger, nor the disagreement between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In your eyes I was an angel, the perfect daughter. I have never known the slightest reproach from you. I liked to remind my husband, your beloved son, every time, that I was in marriage more for you than for him. Big Mamy, I would have wished you to wait a few more years for me to digest the departure of my biological mother but the Lord decided otherwise. Who am I going to use again to call your son to order? Who will I turn to now? I will mourn you all my life Mamy, go and rest in peace, may the land of our ancestors lay gently over you. Go join Papa and continue to pray for us unceasingly.

Where do I even begin. Her grace, class, and elegance transcended the language barrier between us, and because of that I have learned so much from her. My grandmother’s ability to stick to what is right now matter what everyone around you is doing, has stuck with me and it is an ideology that I carry with me everyday. Big Mami, I’m so honored to be one of your grandchildren and a part of the legacy you leave behind. I love you for being kind, I love you for being generous, and I love you for instilling timeless and important values in this family.
Rest In Peace Big Mami.

Mammy belonged to that unique old school who treated their physicians with utmost respect and even near reverence and I jealously took it all and we embraced a close mother-son relationship throughout the last decade and more. Her last hours in our care was filled with mixed emotions, keeping a straight face while knowing she was gradually transitioning into glory, however, it was consoling too that it was uneventful, very peaceful,,, even death respected her in return. When I told my kids that mammy had passed on, my 6 year old girl almost spontaneously sadly asked "so it means I will no more get plantain chips from her again"...I said "Yes ,God wants a taste of the crispy crunchy chips too, so He has called her up to heaven to do some". She somehow believed me. Adieu "Ma" - Rest in perfect peace with your creator till we meet to part no more.

Big Mami, I remember my first visit to you and how you cooked Fufu and njama-njama for me and watched me eat it all. I remember the look in your face and your smile. You called me very fondly « Fai » and « Fatty Bosco ». It is hard when someone transitions but with you, I am blessed to have known someone so loving and caring and God-fearing.
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord; please pick a bunch for me and place them in Big Mami’s arms. Tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her. And when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek. Till we meet again Big Mami.

Tribute To My Mentor
Dearest mami, from where do I start? Is it from how calm, kind, and sweet you are? Or is it from how prayerful and supporting you are to everyone around you? Mama, you were a virtuous and prayerful woman; a woman of faith. Mama, you always sent us food and gave us rosaries to always pray. A neat woman! We are going to miss your delicious Cameroon dishes. I remember how you made sure I was warm during night vigil. Mama likes transparency and accountability. Who will tell me “pikin miya for the prayers.” I thank God for giving me the opportunity to know you because to know you is to love you. I will really miss your motherly advice but I know that I now have a guardian angel because heaven just gained one. May almighty God accept your sweet soul and may our blessed mother Mary with St Joseph welcome you to God’s kingdom. Greet Pa Joseph for me. We love you mama. Adieu mama till we meet to part no more.

Mama you are a great inspiration to me. You welcomed me whole-heartedly, even when I declined to be your daughter-in-law. You welcomed me with love and made me feel like Ben’s twin sister. You bought us the same hand bags to carry during our high school years. Again, returning home on holidays from the U.S., every morning you had hot water in the biggest thermos I have ever seen for us to have warm baths in the morning. And above all snacks, “The Plantain Chips”, always packaged and ready to go! How I miss you, but these memories keep you up close to my heart forever. Your Love, Mama, reigns. So long Mama, Rest in Peace, till we meet again.

Mama, your death impacted me in a way I didn't expect but I understand it was time for you to go and enjoy your eternal rest. Mama, your years on earth shaped me the most. You took me from my parents at the age of four and gave me the best of all you had. Nobody could imagine you weren't my biological mother. You taught me how to be in society since this tender age, to get up at 4 a. m. for prayer before attending the daily mass and, above all, to take care of the needy. I remember when I was sick and admitted at the hospital; when you heard the news, you cried begging God that I should not die but instead you should. What a mother! Your love for me was unconditional and you are the best mother every one would love to have. At your old age, you could still send me some foodstuffs especially chicken to cook for my meal. No words can describe the warm memories that are mine. Mama, forever in my hearth.

My sweetest grandmother. You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within us. Thank you for your sacrifices, your care and concern, your prayers, your love and everything that you have done for me and my children. You influenced all of us so much and made our lives a happy place. I know you will keep rooting for us just as you did on earth. I remember how worrisome my children and I were around you and how you never failed to grace us with your wisdom and taught us to be prayerful and do everything right by God. I remember the hearty meals you made for us, the snacks, the money, rosaries, your advise (pikin bad no fine, pikin only prayer, pikin trust God etc) blessings, and most of all the opportunities you gave us to make our lives better and easier. I know you are in Heaven right now and we can all agree that your steadfastness in Christ is nothing to be compared with. We will always follow your godly steps and it will be passed on to others and practiced as you taught us. Thank you for the love you showered on me and my kids while alive. You cared for us with everything you had and for that we say thank you and continue to rest in the bosom of the most high, farewell grandma Manyi Neza, you remain my role model.

A Tribute to Big Mammy
If I had to name a person in my life who had the largest impact on my life per minute spent with them, Big Mommy might be at the very top. Before the first time I met her I had heard so many stories of her love and generosity, it seemed to be the stuff of legend. This legend, I quickly learned, was every ounce the real deal.
I have never been met with so much love by someone upon meeting. The outpouring of love she shed on me and continued to her last days created a whole new perception for me on life and love. She was a beacon of light that blessed all that she touched. The warmth she brought to any room could have melted the ice caps. When she locked me in her arms the first time she hugged me I instantly understood what the Atanga family represented, and make no mistake, the matriarch wrote the book on it. I am so blessed to be apart of the family she so lovingly created, and that love will be carried on through us all.

Big-Mami, I miss you so much! I go back and forth between being so happy for the life and legacy you afforded this entire family, and being so sad knowing when I come home next time you won’t be there. I won the Grandmother lottery with you. We all did. We always talk about how Mama was so kind and giving and loving, and I’ve always known she got it from you. You don’t know, but I told my husband when we first met that I wanted a marriage similar to that of my Grandparents. Where we’re old and still teasing each other, laughing with and at each other. You and Big-Papa showed everyone who stepped into your home the true beauty of love and laughter.
As much as I cried when I heard the news because I wasn’t ready for goodbye, no one can deny that if anyone lived a complete life, it was you. Complete with love, complete with joy, complete with family, and complete with all the blessings and graces God gives a praying woman. My childhood is filled with the best memories, and half of them are at your house for holidays. And in my adult years, when I got home from a tough workday, I could always count on your homemade plantain chips to make everything better. Even when I became a mother, you were right there, dishing out the best motherhood advice, all exactly in tune with everything Anaya’s physician recommended. Usually I’d be shocked at first at your depth of wisdom, wondering how you knew so much; but I guess after 10 kids, it’s an honorary MD. Big-Mami, this isn’t just goodbye, this is thank you for always taking care of us all. You spent your whole life taking care of everyone; now it’s time for rest as the angels take care of you. We love you, and we miss you.

My Beloved Grandmother,
Affectionately, I called you Big Mamy. Big Mamy, not so much because you were respectfully called this way by many, but a lot more because you were Big in too many ways. Where do I start? How do I end? I trust your legacy will last until forever, for you have impacted me, us, your community, in ways that only God can command. Big Mamy, it is my honor to carry your name. It is my deepest blessing that God has made us one for eternity. May you enjoy heaven with Big Papa.

TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER
TO MY SUPER MAMA
Death is inevitable sweetest mom, but your departure has no doubt left an irreparable and irreplaceable void in my heart. It is indeed hard to believe you have transitioned from this world but am extremely happy because I know you are with our heavenly father resting in his bosom.
Mama, you lived what you preached, you never compromised your faith, rather you fought for the truth. Humility was your lifestyle; you were an epitome of love and generosity. Discrimination was not found in your vocabulary. You treated me exactly like the fruit of your womb, to the extent that you rather preferred to be sick than see me sick. You are my role model “my friend” as you use to call me. You always lit up every room that you entered putting others first before yourself. Mama you had a heart of Gold. Your candle will never go out but burn forever.
Thank you mama for the good seeds you and papa have planted. Rest assured that they will produce good fruits as you people always wanted. We love you but God loves you best; greet papa for me. Virtuous woman, upright mum.

Big Mammi, I am leaving you this message to let you know how much i love you and miss you. You had (and still have) such a huge impact on me and the family.
I have so many amazing memories of you but one stands out the most. Mama always made sure that during the holidays we would spend time in Bamenda with you and Big Papa. One of my first experience of charity was with you; you would spend hours in the kitchen cooking, not just for the family but also for those in need - in hospitals or orphanages. I saw this consistency from the time I was very young in primary school to when I was in Lourdes (in boarding school) and I would come to the house Saturday outings. Even when your strength had started to give out, you would ask those around you to help you do little chores in the kitchen. Whether it is peeling plantains, washing plates or cleaning the kitchen, we would all share in this act of kindness. You showed us what it means to be kind to family and strangers alike. Our food would all come from the same pot, as you treated everyone equally regardless of their circumstance. You led by example and it was truly a blessing.
But this is a celebration of life, because you have lived your life by giving back to others. Now the Lord has called you be united with Big Papa and your children who went before you (including my mama). What a blessing it is to know that we have another guardian angel watching over us. I love you Big mammi and miss you. Love your

God observed you getting tired. He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me" my child. With tearful eyes I watched and saw you gradually fading away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working and enterprising hands came to rest. God takes only the best. You were the best MAMA... Adieu

Mammy where do I start. I first and foremost want to say thank You. Thank you for everything and all you have done f or me .You have been a shining star and a go-getter since the day I met you or could understand who you were to me. You have been a giver, a protector, a great teacher and more than anything a great mother. Mammy you taught me important basic needs in life. You taught me how to clean ,how to cook, how to negotiate businesses, how to navigate in life, how to prioritize a day,& how to be a loving and caring human being. Mammy taught me that work comes before relax.
That's how great Grandma's qualities were to me and that's just to mention a few. Mammy was a special type of Mother not one you see every day. Her presence could light a room. l am proud to have spent part of my life with her . What was so amazing was how lived by the word of Bible. She actually cared for orphans, fed and clothed the poor, treated every one EQUALLY. Mammy taught me prayers l never knew like the Stations of the Cross reflecting the passion of Christ. And Mammy was a no-nonsense woman and fun loving. We will remember your home-made cakes, your plantain chips, your fish rolls. To me l was treated more than a son . Mammy may your legacy live forever l love Your son. May Your soul rest in the Almighty Lord forever.

Dearest sweet mother, our beautiful, loving and God given mother. No one but God could have given us such a charming mother like you; so caring, loving and passionate in your concern for all the children you came across.
Mama your selfless love and concern for our family is much more than our words can express. Mama, remember when you had to go for medical appointment to Yaounde but you postponed because Mariana had a celebration. You planned and executed the program very well. Yet you didn't believe it was over until when Mariana visited you. You looked at me and asked "Njar Ma'y" when will this celebration come to pass so that I can go see my doctor in Yaounde"....The occasion had passed but you held on to make sure all was done and good, forgetting about your own self. Or the countless times when you would cook food, buy fruits and bread to come check on the children and I even when you weren't feeling well? The instances of your selflessness are countless.
Sweet mother we are so sad and our hearts are heavy within to think that we shall not hear you talk to us on phone or see you again when we come home. Notwithstanding dear mother, we want to thank our Almighty Father for giving us such a wonderful mother like you and to sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have been to us. Mami we know you must go now since you have been called. You have indeed run a good race. Go have rest with the Father. But remember, you remain loved in our hearts even much more now than ever. May our Mother Mary whom you loved so much while here on earth, receive your soul and present it to God Most High. GOOD NIGHT SWEET LOVING MOTHER

Mammy was a mother to everyone she encountered and did everything for them. She made sure people ate, all children went to school, taught them hard work and treated everyone without discrimination.
She made sure that child that came through her house left with more than fifty percent progress than they came, be it through school or learning a trade.
Mammy kept her team that will bury her and do her things as she wanted and continue her legacy while she goes to meet her husband who went before her.
We will try to continue her legacy though we are not sure whether we could do as much as she did in her 96 years.

I would wish the Lord help me emulate your footsteps. I will miss your unending and numerous pieces of advice and wisdom. This world has lost an angel but heaven has gained one. Thank you for being such a great role model to all of us. Rest In Peace mami, until we meet to part no more. Adieu Manyi Neza

Independence - learnt sewing/tailoring. I was blessed to have ‘Mah’. Mami Highland as my Godmother. Ever since I can remember she was a strong force in my spiritual life. Growing up we looked forward to visiting her on weekends, and for the lovely Aunt that she was she showered us with all the nices things that will fulfill every child’s palate. Her generosity was her love manifested. Mah was a gentle woman of God. She lived her Christian Motherhood to the fullest. Offering love to everyone who stepped into her path and working tirelessly to build God’s church in Small Mankon, our home Parish! People flocked to Mah for shelter and nourishment and she fed, clothed and schooled many children from poor families with the little she had… virtually feeding the proverbial five thousand daily. It is for these works of charity and her love of fellow man that Mama Highland will remain deeply appreciated yet sorely missed by those who, guided by God, walked into her path. As a close family friend , neighborhood leader, companion to Mama Johana Kilo and my godmother, my entire family send condolences to the Atanga Children and progeny. Her long life is the very demonstration of the Love God had for all her good great works!!

Oh mother, where do I start? A ledger is too small to write the lives that you have impacted before my eyes. I came to your home as a driver 16 years ago and have been with you till your last days. I can testify to the world that you are a mother of all children. My encounter with you completely transformed my life for the better. Even in the way you helped and advised me to raise my own children and how you cared for them. Your compound was like an orphanage. Apart from your biological children, you constantly brought in hundreds of less privileged children, and educated them to the highest level. And I have seen some of them become Parliamentarians, Mayors, and Inspectors of Police just to name a few. You NEVER DISCRIMINATED between us even with our different backgrounds and characters. You treated us like your biological children. I was pleasantly shocked when I saw you prepare food for your son the Minister and served our own food from the same cooking pot. Mammy, your wisdom and faith was the greatest. You taught us the Pidgin Stations of the Cross. The only time you were annoyed was when I arrived late to drive you to your morning mass at 5 a.m. every morning. You were always ready before me. I remember us and all the other workers in the compound singing, praying, eating, and having fun together with you. Mama, we will miss you. Rest in the Lord,

Mama de Mama, In just a short time that I was privileged to pray with you you left a motherly example in my heart and memories and that's why your departure saddens me. You worked so hard, like St Monica, to give your children nothing but the best. You may have passed on but your memories would always live on within us. Thank You for your sacrifices, your manner of warmly welcoming those who visited you, which I am humbled to have borne testimony to, will be unforgotten. You really took me as your spiritual grandson, and each time that you saw me or heard that I was coming the joy on your facial countenance meant the world. It was like time stopped for you to relive the celebration of Holy Mass. I thank you for your generosity to the Church and to many orphans, a gift which you successfully handed down to your caring Daughter Dr Marie- Noella. Everything that you did and taught us especially at the last moments leading to your departure will grow like a mustard seed in our lives. Thank you 'Mama de Mama' for everything you were to me. I know in faith that the God whom you served faithfully and joyfully, especially your unfailing Lenten devotions which you memorized in Pidgin English and never failed to journey by Christ on the Stations of His Cross, like his Mother Mary, will lead you the peace of the heavenly home you always yearned for. I will miss You. Pray for us Mama de Mama.

Working on you as your personal nurse was a privilege to me and am grateful for the love and care you showered on me ,Mama Neza even on your resting bed you still cared for the people around you and I must confess you left a daughter who cared and loved you so much (Mummy Noella). l told Mummy Noella l really do love my own mother but the way l saw her care for you was exceptional .
You really impressed me with your level of hygiene even on your bed when l had to take your blood sample or just check up , and you giving your consent to work on you whenever necessary. Mun Manyi Ndah and I had a way of greeting each other before commencing treatment on her which was so overwhelming . She told me it was the twin way of greeting since she was a Manyi.
She was very entertaining and we will sing clapping our hands praying and you playing your musical instrument.You told us stories about your childhood and you teaching us valuable lessons. We will miss You Rest in the Lord Mama Marcelline Neza Atanga. I Love you.

If I could ask God for one thing it will be for you to come back to us. Over the years you have taught me how to love and treat people, you thought me that being a parent is not biological. Your home was an orphanage to so many including me. You loved me unconditionally, you gave me shelter provided for my needs, and fed me, just to name a few. When I first opened my shop, you and Pa Joseph came and blessed it by praying an entire rosary with us. If I could say how much I feel, I will need to write a book to express my heart. But I can't question the will of God, All I can say is Good bye mama till we meet to part no more. May Your soul fine rest in the bosom of our Lord and prepare a place for us. Your Son

Mama, it was so painful when I was informed of your passing into eternity. It was something so shocking given that we were together a few hours before the sad event. Mama from the moment I knew you, you imbued in me the virtues of hard work, integrity and above all honesty. Virtues you lived with, and cherished throughout your life. Mama farewell, we miss you. Rest in peace in the bosom of the Lord.

Adieu Mami Highland! Adieu “executive fashionista auntie.” You were a true trail blazer, ahead of your time in every way. It is hard to imagine that you are no longer with us. You fought a brave fight with dignity and grace to the very end. Thank you for the wisdom and knowledge left us with. As I write this tribute, I can only imagine the reunion that you had with Pa Highland and the rest of your siblings. My father, Pa CC loved and valued his relationship with you very much. Now you are back with him and everyone else who has gone ahead of you. Rest well icon, sweet sleep Manyi Neza~till we meet again.

“But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God and no torment can touch them.” We are celebrating your life Mama, for indeed you have run the race to the finish. Yet news of your passing on to meet Papa was a shock to me. Why it seems but yesterday that you were so active and doing so much! You were a woman of great faith, and in that light you surpassed so many in the much you did, yet in such a self-effacing manner. Where, in fact, can I begin? Is it with recalling the countless Sundays you surprised our community with those deliciously prepared dishes, punctuated with chewables like plantain-chips, chin-chins, etc.? Those were Sundays that gave the cooks a free day and as the big-hearted Mama that you were; freedom from the kitchen extended to the next day for the quantity was always more than could be finished in one day, regardless of our big number.
We cannot forget the morning you and Papa arrived to join us at our 6:30 Mass. It was only at the end of that Mass, when you requested a special blessing that we learned it was actually the 50th anniversary of your wedding. Only then did we remember the painful incident that had taken place shortly before that anniversary! Yet your faith which stood tall and invincible in facing that event was a clear indication to all that your belief in God went beyond his consolations. Numberless other trips to the Dominican monastery in Bambui, brought you to purchase candles twice a year (Christmas and Easter) as a gift to all the Bishops of Cameroon, but hidden underneath that of course, was yours and Papa’s desire to support the nuns financially.
Oh, as the song says, ‘time changes many things! Years went by and soon you were not able to make those trips anymore and I saw you only when I was in town and called in to greet you. On those occasions, you would make every effort to personally attend to me, even when sickness, coupled age were beginning to slow down your steps. Before I knew it you would be putting a plastic filled with chips, chin-chins and the like for the sisters I would meet back home. Thank you Mama for the witness of your life among us who had the privilege to know the treasure you were. We loved and still love you but just like he came for Papa some years back, the Lord has seen your heavy steps struggling to climb the steep hills of life and has lifted you to Himself. Goodbye Mama! We pray that your gentle soul will rest in the peace of the Lord! Do give my greetings to Papa but do not forget to join him to whisper in the ears of the Lord, the needs of your children still trapped in this valley of tears. Rest in peace till we meet to part no more!

Since 1990 that I came to small mankon i noticed MAMA Marceline and her husband very active in their Christian life and church life. They were very generous in supporting the church. Papa and mama would come and wash the whole parish church no matter it takes them how long.Every first friday they will light fifty candles on the marian table.All the many other things which they did for the growth and spread of the gospel mama stands with papa together. Mama could lead the 14 stations of the cross especially during lent and first Fridays of the month without using a booklet. That admired many Christians whom some have books but couldn't use them proper.May her soul rest in peace.

Mama Atanga, as we fondly called you, you were one of the pillars who formed the first ever English choir of Small Mankon which was named St Therese. As matron of this choir you never stopped in your maternal role in ensuring that the legacy you left as a member thrives. It was always with pleasure that the choir welcomed your attention and appraisals coupled with your continuous assistance that has kept us running. Today, with sadness of hearts we acknowledge your departure from this Earth. May the choirs of angels welcome you who so loved to sing praises to the Lord. Do, mother continue to intercede for us together with our patron saint that we who now have taken to continue the work you started, may do it wholeheartedly with joy. Adieu mama

Mami Marcelline Atanga inspired me to enter Legion of Mary. Her and her husband held my hand and guided me as I joined in 1977. Her life was full of prayer and she worked for the Lord. We visited the hospital as members of Legion of Mary to visit and pray for the sick. Our SCC started in the home of mami Atanga. I can’t talk much as I am loss for words. May your soul rest in peace.

Mammy l am so saddened by your passing away. You and Papa Joseph welcomed me into your home and treated me even better than your own children. l remember as l was getting older without bringing home a wife ,you and Papa actually gave me money to go and look for a wife, and thanks to you l am married today with so many children. Mammy, if l learnt everything about kindness and giving it was by your example.
Those years l lived with you and Papa, you will prepare jelof rice fried meat , bread , fish roll and drinks in big pots. Papa will put it in his car and we will start from Commercial Avenue, dividing the food to the poor people on the streets , Papa will give clothes to the naked ones with savon to bath,. When we finished in town ,we will go up to Station and give food to the prisoners. Then our hospital visits to greet the sick. I never had such an experience before.

Mammy Highland was a gracious and God fearing woman with a colorful history.
I remember you Mah with warmest thoughts…. Growing up, I saw you as a true example of love, kindness, compassion, generosity and humility. Thank you Mah for always receiving us into your home with warm hands and joy.
I will forever treasure those fun memories we had with you especially those in your kitchen. In our youth days Noella and I used to assist you with your cake mixtures. Mah, you taught us the easy fold-in cake mixing method using a huge mortar. It was really fun and the best part was when we had to test the cake. Mah, your cup cakes were the best.
Thank you Mammy Highland for all the lessons and wonderful memories you left us with!
Greetings to Baah!
May you rest in perfect peace in the bosom of the lord! ????????

A MOTHER TO ALL!
I first met Mammy Atanga in 1990, while working in the yard/house for her eldest daughter, Ma Mary, at Up Station, Bamenda. I was 22 yrs old having obtained 10 papers at O/L but lacking money to go to high school, so I was working jobs for that purpose. I first sought jobs at Sajocah Mambu-Bafut , then Ma Mary came to Rev. Sr. Josepha to find someone who could take care of the yard/houses at Up Station. I came along with two others to do that job.
It was during this time that I encountered Mammy Atanga.
A few days after we arrived Upstation, Mammy came to see Ma Mary and as she was leaving, I went to help put a bag in the car. At that point and almost in a whisper, as if she didn’t want anyone else to know, she told me that if we were ever in need of food we should not hesitate to come and see her.
About two weeks later, we were at our, Ma Mary had traveled and we had completely run out of food and were really starving when Mammy came into the yard with a basket of food with multiple loafs of bread. I ate like I have never seen food before. So she reminded us that we should come to the house in town if we were in such predicament. After that day, I took short cuts and went down to town twice (of course when Ma Mary travelled ?) and i was well taken care of each time.
On one of those days, Mami asked me if I had plans to go learn a trade, since no one in Bamenda, including Ma Mary knew that I had gone through secondary schools. I told Mami that I was working hard to earn money for high school studies. She was thrilled and told me that if I ever had a problem in school I should come and see her. And even though I never came back, I was able to stop by and greet Mami a few times to register my appreciation after high school.
So when I met Dr. Bernadette Atanga at the BFU-USA convention in Minnesota in 2012, the year that I was taking over the national leadership of the organization, I felt I had met my sister based on the love Mammy Atanga showed me in one my most vulnerable moments in life!
May Mammy’s gentle soul forever rests in perfect peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

A dark day of my life has just begun. This one marked me so much where I learned from a brother NAYA DIEUDONNE that the Almighty called you back to his throne. I vividly remember every morning DIEUDONNE and I came to pick you up every 4 o'clock in the morning for the mass that you liked so much.The purchases of candles with your son Hon Oliver at the bambili monastery from the Dominican sisters to distribute in several cathedrals in the region and the country for the different religious groups..
Who will serve me the City Chemist breakfast again???You placed me on the royal table in the dining room and offered me a variety of dishes and a good planet pineapple juice.I miss your advice very much.I was your favorite son to the point where you nicknamed me TAGNE; small soldier

Go and rest in peace Mama Atanga.You had many of us that you touched their lives from all corners of the country. You understood our difficulties.Apart from educating your own children who are a reference in the world, you also had gave the same education to some of us. Such were your wishes; Your children from all walks of life ate to their fill on the day of your funeral as you had wished during your lifetime, everything was accomplished. The church was inundated with people from all walks of life, several bishops, members of the government, traditional and military authorities, your children, grand_children, the rich, the poor, the abled and disabled, it was really what you wanted when you were alive.I am very proud to have met you as a mother. Though we are in pain we know the Almighty Father has prepared a special place for you in his bossom. Your stay was an example to us. I promise to follow your advice and hope to end up like you. I am proud to have known you, I will be who had wished me to be.I have good results in the execution of my services currently.

Though we are in pain we know the Almighty Father has prepared a special place for you in his bossom. Your stay was an example to us. I promise to follow your advice and hope to end up like you. I am proud to have known you, I will be who had wished me to be.I have good results in the execution of my services currently. I am very appreciated by my superiors and by the population because of your advice. You have been a blessing to me. Thank you very much mama Atanga. You will forever remain in our hearts. From your son Moussa Hamidou from the North
A dark day of my life has just begun. This one marked me so much where I learned from a brother NAYA DIEUDONNE that the Almighty called you back to his throne. I vividly remember every morning DIEUDONNE and I came to pick you up every 4 o'clock in the morning for the mass that you liked so much.The purchases of candles with your son Hon Oliver at the bambili monastery from the Dominican sisters to distribute in several cathedrals in the region and the country for the different religious groups..
Who will serve me the City Chemist breakfast again???You placed me on the royal table in the dining room and offered me a variety of dishes and a good planet pineapple juice.I miss your advice very much.I was your favorite son to the point where you nicknamed me TAGNE; small soldier
Every evening you put the sum of 2000 frs in my hands or pocket telling me in my ear to use it for your personal needs without telling anyone. The last time you were in Yaounde at Omnisports, you sent DIEUDONNE to pick me up at the Bastos Brigade.I met you in your villa in the living room where you took my hands in yours and the words you told me was a way of saying goodbye I think. Go and rest in peace Mama Atanga.You had many of us that you touched their lives from all corners of the country. You understood our difficulties.Apart from educating your own children who are a reference in the world, you also had gave the same education to some of us.
