We wish to announce the 20th anniversary remembrance
Fatu Jah,
alias, Fatu Bailoh
who passed away in November 1993 after a long and fierce battle with breast cancer
 
Aged 40 years 

She had the will to survive because of her children, but the claws of death held her so firmly, that she did have to succumb.
She was an epitome of beauty; perhaps one of the prettiest around during her prime.
May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Morsha, daddy, grandpa a year went by so quickly since the Lord said to you:  well done thou good and faithful servant,
come home and take your rest.   Though  we are apart for a while, there is a reason for a smile since our hope is in the Lord.
 The joy of heaven we will share someday with the saints and angels.
We know you are now home with Nadline, Herbert  the 3rd and all our loved ones who have gone before you.
 We miss you so very much dear, but you are now safe in the arms of the Lord.

It Is well, and we know God is in control.
It is well indeed. Rest In Peace….sleep and take your rest.

 Madline, Gladys & Elijah

     Those we love remain with us

for love itself lives on,

And cherished memories never fade

Because a love one’s gone. . .

Those we love can never be

more than a thought apart

For as long as there is memory,

They’ll live on in the heart

Forever in our hearts.

By the family

July 20, 2013

I have only slipped away into the next room. 
I  am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. 

Why should I be out of mind, because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval.
Somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well with my soul.

From your loving wife Princess, children & grand children

LINK TO MEMORIAL WEBSITE

 Rev. Dr. Joseph Saidu Mans was a role model of pure faith and unswerving conviction within the emerging evangelical community in Sierra Leone. Reverend Mans was gifted with a sharp mind that he utilized with great effect as a bible expositor. His unique Reverend Mans-esque soft nasal voice spouted always from a set of smiling lips, from a face decked with a pair of penetrating eyes, was one of his endearing trademarks.  Rev. Mans had an interest in young people. He seemed to transact his relationships with youths from a perspective of an understanding of their potentials rather than their prevailing circumstances. With this disposition he became a great mentor to countless Sierra Leoneans that are currently in leadership in the Church, political, administrative, civic, educational and business world.  
In Rev. Mans was a bastion of strength and humility un-contradictorily encapsulated in one flesh. One of his favorite idioms was; ‘A hood makes not a monk’. Presumably Rev. Mans was concerned with consistent Christian character as a superior virtue to outward accolades and impressions. He did admit to me that professional titles and academic degrees does not always add up to peoples abilities to perform and produce in their spheres of opportunity.  One event that exhibited his strength, one would recall was at an executive meeting of the Christian Council of Sierra Leone at Brookfields, Freetown. There was a contentious issue being discussed. Rev. Mans may have felt that he needed to make an unequivocal stand. He stood up, banged the conference table, and said “I am not afraid of any of you, because you are what you will ever become”, He turned to the younger leaders in attendance, including me, “I am only afraid of these young guys because I do not know what they will become in the future”. Today Rev. Mans has joined these Church leaders that predeceased him, as the circle of life demands. They must be joking around in Heaven; Bishop Prince Thompson, Bishop T. S. Bangura, Rev. Dowridge-Williams, Mrs Esther Coker, Rev. Dr. Y.M . Kroma, Rev. Dr. Leslie Shyllon, Rev. Eustace Renner, to name a few. 
At my farewell function organized by the Evangelical Fellowship of Sierra Leone on my departure to the United States in 1999, in his remarks, Rev Mans prophesied that I will return either to become a church leader, a politician or a business man. I am still waiting for the fulfillment. For now it’s about honoring the life of this great man of God. Much more would be told about Rev. Mans’ successful career as leader and pioneer of the New Life Movement in Sierra Leone, Evangelist and pastor in the Sierra Leone Baptist church, President of the Baptist Convention of Sierra Leone, Founding member and President of the Evangelical fellowship of Sierra Leone and a pastor of pastors to many of his peers.
Thank you for who you were, and thank you for all that you did to help so many aspire and attain their optimum potentials. To the family, please temper your grief with gratitude, for we are grateful to you for sharing this blessed saint with us. Farewell Pa Mans!  

A grateful friend and disciple of Pa Mans.
Crispin R. Cole Sr.

In Memory of

Joseph Arima Mabinu Wilkinson
Passed away in  New York
on June 4, 2010
 Aged 66

Three years ago, we were bereft by the tragic news of your loss.
Now, the only thing left is the memory of those good old days,
 which time will never erase.
For, "sorrows like wounds are apt to heal but memories like scars will forever remain" (anon).
Sleep on my friend, sleep and take your rest. Now you can say to death:
 
"Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow" (John Donne).

We love you well Mabinu; But Jesus loves you best; so sleep and take your rest. Good night, good night , good night!

Your friend,

Rev. Silas Nicol
Maryland

In Memory of
