CHRISTINE AKUA KAKABU

Today, we gather to bid our final farewell to an extraordinary woman, Aunty Christy, who left an indelible mark on our lives. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3.  Aunty Christy, you were more than just an aunt to us; you were a guide, and a constant source of love and support. Your presence in our lives was a precious gift, shaping our hearts and teaching us valuable lessons. From childhood to adulthood, you were always there with open arms, a listening ear, and words of wisdom. Your kindness, your laughter, and your generous spirit shaped our hearts in ways we will forever carry with us. You taught us the importance of family, of staying strong in the face of adversity, and of always showing love, no matter the circumstances. Your presence in our lives was a gift. You made every moment special, through the stories you shared and the meals you prepared. We always knew we could turn to you for guidance, comfort, or just a good laugh. You had a way of making us feel safe, valued, and loved, and for that, we are eternally grateful. While we mourn your loss, we also celebrate the lasting mark you leave behind. The lessons you imparted to us, the love you showered upon us, and the memories we made together will forever live in our hearts. You have helped to shape us into who we are today, and for that, we will forever be thankful. Though you may no longer be with us in body, your memory will always remain. As the saying goes, “God knows best” The Lord God has called you to be with Him, who are we to question that. All we can say is Rest well. You will be missed, but never forgotten. With all our love, Your Nephews and nieces.

TRIBUTE BY REVIVAL ASSEMBLY OF GOD HOHOE TO MADAM CHRISTINE KAKABU Psalms 103:15-17 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; Madam Christine Kakabu joined the Revival Assembly of God Hohoe in the early years of 2000. She was an active member whose hands were always ready to serve, whether through acts of charity, encouragement, or simply being a listening ear. She touched many lives in ways both seen and unseen, offering her support without hesitation and without expecting anything in return. The impact of her life was immeasurable because her love for God translated in the love for others in the most profound way. She was a committed member of the women ministry who participated in all their activities such as rallies, camp meetings, conventions and retreats and was willing and ready to represent the ministry on any assignments to the admiration of all. Madam Christine's love for children was not limited to only the classroom but was seen in her commitment to the children ministry of the church. Today, we honour the life of a faithful servant and a cherished Sunday School teacher who touched the lives of many children in the church. We reflect on the legacy of the love, patience, and faith she left behind. Because of the love for the young ones, she became a co-mother with late Mrs Grace Adulai to the Royal Rangers. She cooked and hosted these boys anytime they had a program even as her son Albert was their Commander. She had confidence in the boys that they would become useful to God and the church someday. After retiring from active service as a teacher, we realized her health was not as it used to be. During this period, her faith in the healing power of God was unwavering. As the years progressed, her health condition got worsened. The church, however, did not leave her alone. We assisted her in any way we could both spiritually and financially. The pastors and the visitation team regularly visited her to encourage her. Madam Christine was reported to have gone to visit her grand daughter at Swedru in the Central region, where her health condition was challenged and was rushed to the hospital. She was referred to Ho Teaching Hospital. When the information got to us, we trusted God and prayed, hoping for her recovery, but the sovereign will of the Lord prevailed. Madam Christine had served her purpose to God and to the church. The Revival family loves you, but the Lord loves you more. Till we meet again Rest well

Psalm 89:48 - What man can live and not see death, or save himself from the power of the grave? Today, we gather to celebrate the extraordinary life of our dear Grandma, Mrs. Christiana Akua Kakabu. As her 5 proud grandchildren, we're honored to pay tribute to her eremarkable legacy. Grandma, your love, kindness, and generosity inspired us in countless ways. Your warm smile, gentle touch, and comforting presence made us feel safe and cherished. You were more than just a grandmother; you were a guiding light, a mentor, and a friend. For me, I always acknowledge you as the woman who gave me a second chance. You took me in as more of like I was your third child. Even though I couldn’t stop bragging about being the first grandson. That title became a household nickname. Your love was so strong that it felt so heavy calling you Grandma but Mom. We'll always remember your delicious cooking, your storytelling, and your infectious laughter. Your wisdom, gained from years of experience and devotion to family, taught us valuable lessons about life, love, and resilience. As we grow older, we realize more and more how fortunate we were to have you in our lives. Your influence shaped us into the individuals we are today, and we're forever grateful. The phrase "we're sorry" is often said to be the softest phrase that can calm a situation. However, ours have never been calmed when the doctors mentioned it to us. Your absence has left sadness and pain in our hearts. It is rather unfortunate that as we grow, you might not be here with us to see the end of the tunnel, which they say has light – the bright future you always wished for us. But even in your absence, we'll continue to strive for excellence, just as you taught us. Rest in peace, dear Grandma. Your love, legacy, and memory will live on in our hearts forever. We'll cherish the moments we shared with you and continue to make you proud. With love and appreciation, Nante yie Your Grandchildren

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly path will rest in peace when they die. Isaiah 57:1-2. It was shocking and devastating when the news of the sudden death of a great sister, Christine Akua Kakabu came. It struck us like a burning spear, leaving a pain that may never subside. Indeed, great oak tree has fallen; a great vacuum has been created in our hearts, with tears. You are one of the most important trees, whose shadows, serve as a place of safety and fortress for the family. Who will provide this shade again? Your painful exist has shocked the entire family, oh what a world? However painful, we as Christians can only thank God for giving us a unique sister. We would surely miss her jokes, her kindheartedness, hard work and her near perfect solution to problems and challenges. Akua, you were and will always be an inspiration to us, the entire family and anyone who worked with you. Our hearts ache with sadness because we will not have those golden moments with you anymore. When the perishable put on the imperishable and the mortal puts on the immortality, then will the scripture come true “Death is swallowed up in victory! O Death, where is your sting?” (1Corinthians 15:54-55). Akua we love you, but your creator love you most, He called you to rest in his bosom from all your struggles, afflictions, persecutions and pains. Though the anguish and gravity of the loss are unbearable, we console ourselves that you are resting in the bosom of the Almighty God. Father Lord let mother earth lie gently on Akua. Thank you Lord for the life of a Good Sister Fare thee well Sister,  Till we meet again, Rest in prefect peace.

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15:19 – 20 Indeed, They Say, 'You Don't know what You Have Until You Lose it":. "A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary." - Dorothy Canfield Fisher We pay this tribute to the life of a woman who was not only our mother but also our father, our confident, a mentor, a counselor and a friend. Our heart is heavy with grief, but our spirit is filled with joy and gratitude as we reflect on the life and legacy of our beloved mother. We celebrate you! Your unwavering support, guidance, and unconditional love have shaped your sons into the individuals they are today. We had the opportunity and rare privilege of being your children to enjoy your wonderful, loving, kind, selfless and a complete woman that you are. We are grateful and will always remember you for your Unwavering faith, Selfless Love, Leadership, discipline, prayerfulness and Family values. Mummy always taught us how to trust in God alone and always taught us to remember that there is judgement and Heaven after death. You were a woman who affectionately desired to see everyone around you happy and comfortable. We have become what we are today because of the tender loving care you exhibited. You taught us to be content in all things and to bound together by chords of love. She believed in the power of unity and togetherness, and she embodied these values in every aspect of her life. Her wisdom guided us in difficult moments, and her laughter uplifted us in times of joy. She was a mother not just by blood, but by the sheer force of her love and commitment to family. Her presence was a gift, her words were a comfort, and her love was a foundation upon which we built our own families. She gave us strength, reassurance, and a sense of home-no matter where we were in the world. You are a generous and a blessing to people from all walks of life. You taught us how to do all households chores in order for us to help you since you had no daughter, though we saw it as a worry and disturbance from you it has all helped us to become the men we are today. You acted as a shield over us all and guided us in all our decisions. You are always the first, to call us several times to find out if all is well with us. You shared in all our joys and also encouraged us in our tough times. We vividly remember how you will wake us up early morning for devotion no matter what we think you will definitely get us into the hall for devotion. You were the first person to call us on our various birthdays even before our wife's will wake up to wish us. Thank you for your care mummy. You are our heroine. Though you're no longer with us physically, your legacy lives on through us. Mummy, we will Miss You We'll miss your smiles, your hilarious laughter, and your wise counsel. But we take comfort in believing that you are now in the presence of our Heavenly Father. Rest from your lives labour and challenges Rest in the Lord Rest in Peace, mummy Hede nyui Nante yie Dzudzor le nutifafa me Mama babaaa
