Barely seven weeks after the passing to glory of Rev. Fr. Charles of Kumbo, death has hit Kumbo again. This time, it is the Diocesan President of the Catholic Women Association, Mama Manjo Lillian who died on November, 20, 2007 after a brief illness.

During a requiem mass celebrated last November 30 for the repose of her soul, the Bishop of Kumbo described the death of the CWA President as very untimely that has caused remarkable pain and sadness among her immediate family members and Christians as a whole. He, however, stressed that the death of loved ones gives an opportunity for those who are still alive to examine their Christian lives and the level of their preparedness for the journey to eternity.

Mama Lillian was described by many as a courageous leader who spent most of her time instilling courage in her fellow members. Before her death, she was recently re-elected to serve another three year term as the Kumbo diocesan CWA President. She had barely begun this new assignment when death came knocking. The requiem mass was attended by family members, friends and sympathisers.
