Teacher, farmer and Mother Mary Takyiwaa Djan
When death came beckoning, you stood STILL.You were firm and unshaken as the northern star, constant and fixed in character, and in bravery you walked to meet your Maker.

These were the values you came to represent: Honesty, truthfulness, and unwavering conviction, virtues which you internalised till the very last.
We fondly remember you as a hardworking educationist and farmer without comparison, a devout mother and teacher who shared and spread knowledge with the zeal of an Apostle, a patriotic citizen who lived her life to the fullest serving mother Ghana, a mother who clung and cleaved to her children to the admiration of all.
Testimony
You were a friend, faithful and just to all who encountered you. Everyone will bear testimony you were a selfless individual who committed herself to the cause of others more than herself.
To you, it was service before self. You gave true meaning to the phrase GOD FIRST. The Ghana Education Service (GES) in Drobo and Babianeha in the Jaman South District in the Brong Ahafo Region have lost a true daughter and servant but we are gladdened by the knowledge that yours is just a transition, a movement to where you really belong: the bosom of Abraham where all true believers really belong.
Mother, this world indeed is not our home. We know you have blazed another trail in taking the lead to the better world our Father promised us.
Though gone, we still feel your very breath every minute, with you telling your loving children, and the family that we should not grieve for you because you are now free, following the path God laid for you, as you found peace at the end of your journey on earth.
But how could we, given the decades of friendship we shared?
Parting
Dear MOTHER, your parting has left a void, but we will fill it with remembered joy, the friendship shared, and the motherhood qualities and virtues you spread around which would forever live in our hearts.
We are burdened with sorrow, and we wish you the sunshine of tomorrow in the hereafter.
YOU distinguished yourself in Christ’s vineyard, and in service to humanity and family.
Your life was full.
Trusting God
Perhaps, your time seemed all too brief, but the family does not want to lengthen it now with undue grief, for we are trusting our living God to lift our hearts and fill same with unfailing memories of your life.
We miss you, and the memory will be long-lasting.
Your hard work and dedication to duty will go ahead of you.
And as you have taken the lead in this journey that all must go, and each going it alone, we will bear our sorrows in the numerous good deeds you left behind.
FONDLY REMEMBERED BY ATTA, GODFRED, OB AND KOFI.
ADIEU MOTHER!!
DAMIRIFA DUE, DAMIRIFA DUE, DUE, NE AMANEHUNU.
