Dear Uncle Guebe passed away this month. It is a terrible loss for the Baha'i community and especially to our Cameroonian community. Some of us youth don't remember a time he wasn't there; he was like a father, and we will all miss him so dearly. His memory, his joyous laughter, will remain with us forever. He goes to join his dear wife, Auntie Therese, who passed away just last year [see picture below]. But as we look to the Words of Baha'u'llah, we feel a little consolation...
"Death proffereth unto every confident believer the cup that is life indeed. It bestoweth joy, and is the bearer of gladness. It conferreth the gift of everlasting life.
As to those that have tasted of the fruit of man's earthly existence, which is the recognition of the one true God, exalted be His glory, their life hereafter is such as We are unable to describe. The knowledge thereof is with God, alone, the Lord of all worlds."
-Baha'u'llah
