I’m deeply hurt, but i know that beyond this realm of pain and suffering your soul rest in the arms of God Almighty. May He welcome you into His bosom and comfort us all. Rest Well Mama Benny. I Love You
Indeed death is truly wicked, it’s like a sudden blow in my face. That black wednesday when Mama Harriet broke the news to me. I cried out loud and walking in the neighbourhood. It was late in the evening, asking myself why Benny why this sudden goodbye. The last time we talked on phone was 17th and 19th November 2022. In the evening around 8:41pm when you decided to make some shopping for me after close of work and even made a video call to ask if am interested in the stuffs you buying for me. I secretly made a screenshot of some of the videos as if I knew that will be the last time seeing your face. That was not the end though we continued to chart at most times and the last chart with you on WhatsApp was 24th November 2022, when Ghana played Portugal in the World Cup and I asked you to watch at work since the guys played very well. Little did I know that you will fall sick the next day and never return again on this earth. Awww death you are too wicked and cruel. Till we meet again in Heaven, continue to rest well in the lord’s bosom.
I still have you in memory and the good times we had together before you left Ghana to America.. I ❤️ you and will always do 😭😭😭😭😭
Words cannot explain how sad we all feel to know you are gone. Your love would forever be in our hearts. Mama Benny, may your soul rest in perfect peace. Till we meet again
Mama Benny hmm😔 I can’t believe you are gone…we really miss you ….I wish we had spent more time together before this unfortunate incident….it’s difficult to take all this…you have left us at a time we least expected but in everything we give thanks to the Almighty, indeed there is a reason for every happening and we cannot question his decisions
Rest well Mommy, I love you
My Benny, my 2nd wife, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think you were going to leave us both husband’s (Kobby and l) to deal with your loss in this way. The grief and agony we’re feeling now can only be understood by those who knew you very closely. I remember very well our last conversation and how it ended with a promise to meet each other halfway to make up for the distance between us. Your passing has robbed us of that great opportunity but I’m comforted in the knowledge that you’ve been called by your maker to come and rest from your earthly pains and struggles. In the hope of meeting you again in glory, rest in perfect peace and “mema wo nante yie”. Kobby, Ekow and Kofi, you’re in our thoughts and prayers and may you be comforted by the power of the holy spirit and the love of family and friends both far and near. Benny, nante yie. Damirifa due.
From your second husband.
Rest in Peace Maa Benny ! You’d be always missed
The Lord keep you in his sweet bosom 🕊
Ma Benny! Lord knows you deserved better. You did great as a mother and now you can rest well and watch the fruits of your labour blossom.You’ll always be in our minds and our hearts. I’ll definitely miss your sense of humor .
God be with you, Ma Benny.
My dear Benny, it saddens my heart that you’ve left us so soon and especially so your dear husband Kobby and Paa Kow and Kofi Larbi. You were such a dear sister in law. My sister Rest in the bossom of the Lord until we meet again.
Benny your sudden demise has left me dumbfounded. I keep asking myself, was your relocation a good option? I cannot question God but I am happy I was blessed with a caring daughter like you, Abrefi, Rest in perfect peace till we meet. Love you dearly.
Only thought we met only once. I have never felt anyone as caring as you are. You showed me in an instant what it meant to be the best person and wife. You are the best person I’ve ever met. You are dearly missed sister-in-law
Words cannot express the pain of your demise. I cannot still believe you are gone forever. Well, God knows best. You will forever be remembered. Rest well sweet sister.
Words fail me whenever I try to write a tribute to you . Your loss is so painful but we trust in the ways of God, He knows Best. Rest well Dear Benny,
The sad news of your demise has been devastating to all of us. We will miss you dearly but your love, care and smile will forever be our legacy. Rest in perfect peace.
We are sorry for your loss!! I am going to miss you too
You treated me as your own when we were under you care. Now I pray that may God show the same as you under his. Forever missed.
Rest well Ma. Forever in our hearts💕
Paakow’s mother, as I have always called you. I still can’t believe that you’re gone but I guess God knows best. Where ever you’re I know we will meet again. You’ll be missed forever.
It hurts so much to believe that a brothers mom is gone forever. I got heartbroken when I heard about your lost, Rest In Peace to you. You always make sure we have done our homework before we come home and play with PaaKow and Kofi. We will miss you forever. Rest well Ma.
I’m Free (Anne Lindgren Davison)
Don’t cry for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found that peace at the close of day
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch
If my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Damirifa Due! Due! Due!
Benny, Nyame mfa wo nsie.
Dearest Benny, you shall surely be missed, in fact you are already being missed. Your angels beckoned you much earlier than we could all anticipate but have ushered you into the glorious presence of your loving Father, where there is no ache nor pain. Fare thee well, rest peacefully till we met again. Oyerepa, enapa, onuapa, da yie . Amen
Dear Mrs. Benedette Amoah,
Thank you for bringing these two wonderful children of yours into the world. You were indeed a great mother, not just to Paakow and Kofi Larbi, but to us all who were even close to them. You fought the fight of faith, and you won, so thank you for finishing your course. Now, please Rest in the bosom of the Lord. While you’re up there, smile upon us until we meet again. We love you dearly!❤️
Benny, it’s devastating for you to leave this way. We still don’t understand how it happened. We share in the sorrow of Kobby and the children. Rest in peace.
The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal. – Cicero
I remember living with you at Abossey-Okai during my final year at Accra Poly. You were kind to me and we had a cordial relationship. Thank you.
Sister Benny, much as we will love to have you with us, your maker knows best. Rest peacefully till we meet again.
Damirifa due
