10 June 2011<\/p>\n

\n

It’s been long since we got together as a family;<\/p>\n

It feels today as yesterday in your humility and uprightness.<\/p>\n

It’s been long since we knew you to be the same;<\/p>\n

In your disposition and Love for shine.<\/p>\n

It’s been you that was a loving Mum and grand-mother;<\/p>\n

And forgive us if we have done or said anything to increase your pain Mom.<\/p>\n

It’s been you that put up with chaotic or sometimes foolishness of our actions;<\/p>\n

With boldness and firm character you stood to keep things in construction.<\/p>\n

It’s been you that prayed for all and sundry; Treating all with respect and Listening with care to their telling stories.<\/p>\n

It was you that will add wisdom of age and experience; with the treasure of inspiration to bring radiance. We will miss you Aunty Mary;<\/p>\n

But we will also remember you in the words of John Wesley:<\/p>\n

“My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my Life”<\/p>\n

Also in the words of Joaquin Miller on Motherhood:<\/p>\n

“The bravest battle that ever was fought Shall I tell you where and when?<\/p>\n

On the maps of the world you will find it not:<\/p>\n

It was fought by the Mothers of Men,<\/p>\n

Not with cannon or battle shot,<\/p>\n

With sword or nobler pen;<\/p>\n

Not with eloquent word or thought<\/p>\n

From the wonderful minds of men;<\/p>\n

But deep in a walled-up woman’s heart;<\/p>\n

A woman that would not yield;<\/p>\n

But bravely and patiently bore her part;<\/p>\n

Lo! There is the battlefield.”<\/p>\n

And lastly in words you so cherish:<\/p>\n

“Never say Fail”<\/p>\n

Rest in perfect Peace Mam Ndahteh.<\/p>\n

Adama and Lisong Bah, On behalf of the Family.<\/p>\n

The Late Mrs. Mary Anne Chapman<\/p>\n

1923-2011<\/p>\n
