As the morning comes and the night goes away, as the light paves way for darkness, as the Sun disappears for the Moon to appear and the rain ends for the sun to shine, so shall life pave way for death one day!
We are grateful to God for preserving the Life of our father for 92 years and calling him to His glory in His appointed time.
Dada, as we affectionately called him, was also called by many as Dada Nkansah, Doctor, Blackman or Yesu Ba.
We have gathered here this morning, as the children of the late Opanin Kwadwo Nkansah Sefah to pay tribute to our beloved father whose warm smiles, comforting hugs, and reassuring presence has been missed since he left us to join his maker on November 14, 2024.
Our hearts are heavy and filled with grief and sadness but it behooves us to give him this honor as he deserves it.
Dada was more than just a father to us; He was our mentor, our counsellor, our friend, our rock, our hero and our guide.
His love for us was boundless and unconditional. His guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support shaped us into becoming who we are today.
Through his actions, he taught us the true meaning of compassion, resilience and integrity.
He always put others before himself and had a heart that knew no bounds.
He never wavered in his dedication to our well-being. No matter the circumstances, he always ensured that we never lacked anything.
Even in his most challenging moments, he shielded us from worry and pain, hiding his own struggles so that we might never shed a tear.
Despite all these, Dada Nkansah was a strict disciplinarian who instilled the fear of God and respect for the elderly in us.
As we grapple with his physical departure from us, we are overwhelmed with tears and longing.
The memories we hold are precious as his love and care was steadfast. His absence has left a void that will be difficult to fill as we have lost a gemstone!
Indeed, words cannot explain our gratitude to God for this awesome gift He bestowed upon us for 92 years.
It is often said that good people leave us too soon. While this truth brings little solace, we know his spirit remains in our hearts, guiding us through life’s journey.
We also find comfort in knowing that he is at peace and reunited with his maker.
As he used to say “Meeko me papa Yesu nky3n, esan s3, me y3 Yesu ba”
