We are still in wonderland regarding the joint departure of our dear friends, your parents from among us. While we mourn them deeply, we take solace in the many precious memories we shared since 1982. We had mutual respect for each other as couples and exchanged countless visits. Their smiles were infectious, and their jokes were witty. We hold you all in our prayers at this difficult time. May God comfort and strengthen you.
Words cannot express our gratitude to you for paving the way for us and setting a good example for us. Indeed a mighty giant has fallen.
Thank you for your words of wisdom and care for all of us.
I still remember the last time I spoke to you, you were full of life and hope. It’s true that when death has a grip on you it is impossible to free yourself. Nonetheless we miss you dearly and wish you God’s speed till we meet again . We love you.
Uncle Baiden thank you for loving our sister and making her happy. Thank you both for setting a precedent in marriage for us to follow. We promise to make you guys proud . Continue to smile on us from heaven till we meet.

A TRIBUTE TO A DEAR FRIEND
To die completely, a person must not only forget but be forgotten and he who si not forgotten is not dead. ( Samauel Butter).
I have known Dina since oursecondaryschool days. What a great lady, what a great loss. You werefull of love, had a great sense of humor, you were never selfish and you always gave others credit.
You valued education, embraced spirituality and cherished motherhood. I learnt al o t from you as I followed your path ofa strong Christian woman.
But mysister why depart during your greening life? Why prematurely wean us from the breast of your motherly experience? but no we know why you honored yourcall.
You have ran the race.
Your body hasreached its ultimate endurance level.
This is not the time to ask the whys, it’s the time to thank you for the gift you were to us.
Asister, Amother, Awife, An aunt, Acolleague, Afriend, but more importantly a human being. The void you have left in our lives is unimaginable, we are aware that your refreshing smile and face will never be with us again. How ever in spirit you will be with us together with your darling husband who couldn’t bear theloss and joined you on this lonely journey.
We say go well, lady Dina even death will not remove you from our minds. Nothing can tread you down. Do not walk in front of me, Imay not follow
Do not walk behind me, I may not lead, always walk beside me and just be my friend. REST IN PERFECT PEACE!
To the children, grandchildren and family l pray God continue to protect you all and bless you
Such a pleasant couple. May their souls find rest in Abraham’s bosom and mother earth gently receive their mortal remains. Farewell
Mr and Mrs. Baiden.
The family were heartbroken to hear the passing of mum and dad. As we struggle to come to terms with this huge loss, I pray the Good Lord continues to comfort Ekua, her brothers and both families and friends.
God knows best.
Rest Well Aunty Diana and Uncle Kwesi.
Yours always.
