“It is with a heavy heart that I offer my deepest sympathy on the sudden death of your beloved Father, Late Obongiberedem Ufon Effiong at the age of 64 years. I commiserate with you and your family on this irreparable loss.

“As I understand, Late Obongiberedem was a man of immense creativity, vigour and of great potentials. A devoted Christian with a unique and exemplary life; His passion for excellence and discipline character guided his daily activities.

“It is rather unfortunate that this great man is no more and we cannot question the authority of God in this case. He alone knows how we came into this world and when he chooses to call us home.

I, therefore urge you, and the entire family to find solace in the Biblical injunction that death is the only means to transcend to eternity as Christians.
