It is still difficult to accept the fact that you are gone out of this world. So, you left without saying goodbye! Hmm, “death indeed is a necessary end and will come when it should come” . Aunty Ceci as I affectionately called her was of great help to me during my working life with her in Tema at the management office. She taught me how to master the art, and work with confidence. It was under her watch that I was able to work with Chairman Yamson, among others. There were many travels for management meetings away from our families. I remember at one of such meetings with the management team at the Kakum National park, Chairman asked the two of us to do the canopy walk and we ended up doing it 7-times! My last baby girl fell very sick during one of such meetings at the Coconut Grove hotel at Elmina and Aunty Ceci demanded that I ask permission and go home to attend to my sick daughter as the meeting was ending the next day- such motherly love. One of the Unilever OBJ meetings was held at the Labadi Beach Hotel at the time when women were being killed rampantly around Mataheko and I happened to live there. A room had been booked for her since the meetings traveled late into the night. She insisted that I sleep there alone. A selfish person could have suggested that the room be canceled as she lived close by.
She was very particular about the food she ate and would explain why I had to do the same.
When the time came for her to finally leave the business in 2005, she handed over all her working aids to ensure I had a smooth transition. Even when she went home, she was still ready to assist any time I called on her. I can actually go on and on. The saying is really true that good people do not live long on this earth.
May the good Lord give you a good resting place.
Sleep well my dear till we meet again.
Da yie!!!
