Happy Easter GrandPa! We are waiting for your resurrection with all the saints. See you soon!

Father, i can't begin to tell you how much more i miss you as the days go by. My pain has turned into anger. I keep asking myself why you left us so early. I think of you endlessly, and the pain keep growing greater and greater. You said to me that this is how you were with your father;please tell me how you did it? Because i can't. It seems like my world ended the day i realized that

Father, i can't begin to tell you how much more i miss you as the days go by. My pain has turned into anger. I keep asking myself why you left us so early. I think of you endlessly, and the pain keep growing greater and greater. You said to me that this is how you were with your father;please tell me how you did it? Because i can't. It seems like my world ended the day i realized that you were gone for good. I love you father, please come even in my dreams. I just need to see and hear you one last time. I miss you dearly.

Your son,
Eric L. Ekofo

Dear father,
You have left us way too early. I am here to let you know that I have a son, Liam and I cannot accept the fact that my little man will never know what a handsome man his grandpa was. He looks exactly like you and every time I look at him smile I think of you.
I love you and miss you terribly...
I will aways be your Maduda.
God bless you!

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord! Job 1:21

Que le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le Dieu de notre cher Papa nous garde tous dans sa paix par sa grâce et sa miséricorde.

Au Sang et la Chair de Papa Ekofo Sokombe Louis,
Que le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le Dieu de notre cher Papa nous garde tous dans sa paix par sa grâce et sa miséricorde. A l’occasion de ce premier anniversaire du départ de papa pour la vie éternelle, je vous invite tous à méditer, en son honneur, sur sa dernière prière ici sur la terre et à observer un moment de réflexion personnelle sur votre propre vie. Voici la prière de Papa :

« Jesus-Christ, You have the power to command wind, to command tornado. You have the key to open anything. The entire world obeys to you. Even though I am a sinner, I implore your misericorde. Grant me the health. Grant me the peace.
And I already, I know I get it because I believe in you. Nobody came to God and went home empty. I know I get your assistance. I know I get your peace. I know I will be with my family for awhile. And when your law, your eternal law comes, I will come adore you with all your saints. Glorifie le nom du Seigneur, Glorifie le nom du Seigneur. »

Pour ma part, je médite aussi sur la prière de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ avant sa crucifixion dans le livre de Jean verset 17 (Jean 17). Puisse-t-elle vous réconforter !

Votre sœur ainée, Angela Ekofo

Hello there, sometimes i can't believe that i have lost my dad once again and now for good...i wonder how could i be any stronger or without thinking of my father every weekends especially sunday when i use to pop in and cook something for him or bring him stuff. My dad and i never have much time to speak or have fun together like every other father to his children. Especially me. have lost his affection since i was born grew up not knowing you, spent one or two year together but without feelings, here you left me to come here yet i suffer a lot living without you in congo, i was lost even now no one could understand the pain, discomfort, misslead, lost in me but you dad. You tought of us, had us close to you here but yet i was scare of hearing you get mad at us, sometime i was just doing stuff on purpose to get your full attention and your affection to me but yet that really didn't work, i have to move out, to go learn again to make even more mistake. Now you left me, you abandonned me was i that worse? you left me twice why dad? the first time was for your job and now it's for what? i can't get over myself sometime when i think of you it's hurt. i always feel down you helped me to love myself, to show love and remembering that i have a dad in my live but that was so soon for you to just leave me don't you think? i was hoping to have you by me always , me alone now you are gone what should i do? cuz i really feel empty on the inside of me. Are there? are listening? I can't even think about celebrating any father's day, your birthday, christmas, new years, thanksgiving, my birthday because it heavy on me to notice that i have an empty space, the wound that now will never heal for life.
Maybe you never knew how happy i was when i came here to live with you, maybe you didn't notice my love toward you. Should i say now it's too late?
I wrote you letter to go with you to remember me, to always stay by my side. In the hospitals you told me that you will always be there for me and i hope you are. and now again i am thinking a lot about you. You did a lot for us, now it was time for you to enjoy what's your fruits on earth was about to give but you left. I remember your blessing and that is about to happen to me, i hope you will enjoy to see it even from far away.
I love you dad, you spoiled me more than anybody i could think of, you and mom are my hero, my lover, my soul, my mind, my everything. i guess i should say i am very blessed to have you both and especially you my brave man!
Rest in peace i hope to meet you again someday!!
Rachelle your mother.

Merci Seigneur, toi qui a reçu dans Ton Royaume, pour le repos éternel, celui qui nous a été si chers.

Goodbye Papa Ekofo Sokombe Louis

I have finally gained the strength to accept that you have left me for good,

that I can no longer hear you tell me how proud you are of me,
that I can no longer enjoy your unfailing love and support,
that I will no longer see you enjoy your grand daughters,
that I will no longer hear you remind me that I am your first born and that my birth position comes with a

Goodbye Papa Ekofo Sokombe Louis

I have finally gained the strength to accept that you have left me for good,

that I can no longer hear you tell me how proud you are of me,
that I can no longer enjoy your unfailing love and support,
that I will no longer see you enjoy your grand daughters,
that I will no longer hear you remind me that I am your first born and that my birth position comes with a lot of responsibilities,
that I will no longer hear you tell your favorite story of when I first walked,
that my daughters will no longer hear you tell turtle stories,
that ...

So, on this Father’s Day, June 19, 2011, I am letting you go.

I will cherish your memories forever; but, I too must go on with my life and learn to live my life without you.

So today I say: go ahead, Go On!

Happy Father’s Day and Goodbye!

Your daughter whom you called Albertine Marie Angele

Sokombe was a dynamic educator. I am blessed that he was a colleague and a friend to me. I will miss his smile and laughter. May God bless and keep you always!
