FROM YAW BONSU ATAKORAH Today, we gather not only in remembrance, but also in the comfort of God. For the love of a mother is one of the closest reflections of his own heart, and in my mother, I experienced that love in its purest and most beautiful form. Obaa Yaa was more than a parent- she was my foundation. A woman of deep strength, unwavering faith, and quiet sacrifice. The life I live today, the person I have become, and the values I carry are all a direct reflection of what she poured into me. Her legacy lives on – not just in memory, but in me. My mother was an inspiring soul, always there for all who came to her with their troubles. She met them with kind words and wise counsel, Her home was open to everyone and her hospitality made each person feel valued, seen and important. She was Loving, Humble, Compassionate, and understanding. A truly family orientated woman and one of the most beautiful souls one could ever meet. I miss you everyday, especially the Banku and Okro that I grew to love so dearly. But more than anything, I miss your presence, your voice, your laughter, your warmth. We are here today not just to mourn a loss, but to celebrate the vibrant, beautiful life of my mother. She lived with a zest that was infectious, embracing every moment with an open heart and an adventurous spirit. Whether it was your passion for teaching, your unwavering support for your loved ones, or your ability to find joy in the simplest of things, you truly knew how to live. Your laughter was a melody, your spirit a dance, and your love a force that uplifted everyone around you. You built a life rich in experiences, relationships, and indelible memories. As we remember you, let us not dwell on sorrow, but instead, let us carry forward your vibrant spirit, your joy for life, and your incredible capacity to love. Your legacy is not just in the years she lived, but in the countless lives you touched and the joy you brought to the world. Finally, this is to say a very special thank you, Obaa Yaa. If it were not for you, bringing me from Mampong to Kumasi, my life would not be what it is today. I owe so much to you – more than words can ever express. And I will carry your legacy with me for the rest of my life. Rest in Perfect Peace, Obaa Yaa. Your journey has been completed Damirifa Due “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you “ – Isaiah 66:13 TRIBUTE W 30 A Loving Farewell 1934 MRS. OBAA YAA AFRIFA 2025
