- 4. 5 On 3rd July 2024, in a rather sudden twist of fate, death laid its icy hands on our beloved mother, sister, friend and con鍖dant. Her loss was shocking and has rid the family of a true treasure which can never be replaced. We are compelled to mourn her loss however, her presence will forever be celebrated at any given opportunity. Auntie Christie is survived by two (2) children and thirteen (15) grandchildren. Auntie Christie, you will truly be missed. Auntie Kai, May the good lord grant you a peaceful and eternal rest!!! Nyonn Kai yaaw, yaaw, ojogba紐紐!!! Till we meet again!!! For me, to live, is Christ and to die is gain. ( phil. 1:2) Christiana Kai Adjei a鍖ectionately called Auntie Christie joined the 1967 year group during its formative period. Not withstanding the long distance between Christies house and our meeting place, she was regular and punctual at all meeting and other gatherings. We undertook a project at ABOCHIE HANYA, and Christie never missed any working day; she always came early and left with the artisans. Christie was a woman of few words but her contributions during discussions, at our meetings were excellent and full of wisdom. Our sister operated a spot called BLUE KIOST, at Agba We and anytime we attended a function around her area, we were sure Christie would take care of us. We observed at a point in time that our sister had di鍖culties attending our meetings due to a waist problem. The executive committee therefore exempted her from attending meetings. She was however kept abreast with developments. Individuals visited and occasionally the group also did. Barely a week before her home call, our assistant secretary spoke with her and there was no indication that she would be responding to a heavenly call so soon. In view of her unannounced departure, we say with the Psalmist LORD, TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS CHRISTIE, FARE THEE WELL W) y3 onunts) l3 kp)k) amli AMEN.

Tribute by Siblings God looked around his garden and found an empty place He then looked upon the Earth and saw your tired face He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest With the help of his angels they 鍖ew you to your heavenly place. Sister Kai, we are overwhelmed with grief as we write this tribute. Life stood still before us on the morning of 3rd July 2024 when the shocking news was communicated to us. We were thrown into a state of confusion and inspite of your little health challenges which often comes with age, we did not anticipate death at a time like this. Sister Kai, the shock and pain of your death lingers on. It hurts so much because the previous day of your passing, you were seen, hale and hearty, and who would have thought, the goodbyes said on that day were going to be the last. Our Sister, Christiana Kai Adjei was a gift unto us. She lived her life in humility and courtesy. Amongst our siblings she was the non-conformist and the unique one whose actions di鍖ered from the rest of us. She had a great fashion sense and oh! Sister Kai would not leave home until she got the compliment she desired after dressing up. Her ways amused us. From our childhood until her demise, Sister Kai, our sister, had been living in harmony with us. She was industrious, sel鍖ess and always complimented our e鍖orts in so many ways. We were held together by bonds of love, sharing of mutual experiences and desiring to see each one of us succeed in our various ventures. Sister Kai, your loss is like a missing piece in the game of life. Certainly, you were a team player and you therefore 鍖tted in beautifully amongst us, as well as in extended family gatherings. In your quiet, unobstructive way, you provided the needed support for getting things done in the family at the right time You were warm, always looking out for the welfare of others and ready to help them to best of your ability. Sister Kai, you have been a real pillar whose absence would be deeply felt. Today, as your mortal remains lay before us, we pray that may God Almighty grant you eternal rest into the bosom of the Lord till God calls us all. We are comforted by the words in 1 Thessalonians 5;18 which states that Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Oh, heavenly Father we pray for strength for these di鍖cult times. Teach us acceptance of what we cannot understand. Teach us understanding of what we cannot change. For our lives dear Lord are in your good hands. Keep us, comfort us, and surround us with your presence and love. Christiana Kai Adjei, Sister Kai, Till we meet again, Yaa w) y3 hej)l3 mli
