RITA DIONGO - Online Memorial Website

Constantly thinking, 
never to be the same.
The tears fall quickly just hearing your name. 

Silence is golden, 
yet not anymore. 
Silence brings thoughts 
I just can't ignore. 

The nights are sleepless, 
dreams out of reach. 
Crying in my pillow to you I beseech. 

Surrounded by family, 
I still feel alone. 
My heart is so empty.
This pain I must own. 

I wish I could hug you and just see your face. 
But now I have memories to stand in your place. 

Gone but not forgotten, 
that's what they say. 
Of course, that is true...
but if only you could have stayed.

RITA IF ONLY YOU COULD HAVE STAYED ..................................... 

 

It all began that faithful day and month of September 1987 when each and every one of us climbed the prestigious hill of Saker Baptist College with such innocence, uncertainty, but for a common goal to acquire knowledge and most especially to be called “Sakerettes”.

 We started off as separate individuals, became friends over the years, very close friends and eventually sisters with the ever growing bond of true Love, Unity and Sisterhood.

Yes Mama Ritz… to us all there were various fond names such as ENDALE (as you introduces self to a Tutor in 4C), DEALER (for your mischievous acts to all), Diongo R.. Diongo..R.. Diongo R. (as Mr. Bodylawson aka. BOBO will call off the notorious punishment list every Saturday), NDOSSE (for getting involved in squabbles/fights) etc. all of which we really can not mention.

Of all your mischievous acts which had one and all cracking up with laughter, you were such fun, had a jovial disposition, always encouraging and courageous, selfless for the less privileged and most of all a loving sister with a heart of Gold.

Over the years during when the health/cancer trials and challenges befell you, the fights were courageous, prayers ceaseless with which you struggled with such determination, humility and unabated faith. Despite the bleeding of our hearts as we watched you go, we now more than ever before we truly Thank God for your life as death they say is the one thing that is certain and a way out for all who live.

 Your passing has created such a void in our hearts and that of your family. However, we will rejoice and be of good cheer knowing that (is what you would have asked of us) you finally found peace and are resting in the bosom of our Almighty God.

 Go Rita….go in peace… for you are indeed a Conqueror and a Victor in the Lord.

We love you so.

                                      Your Loving Sisters (Saker Class of “1987”)

I remember bepanda and saker like it was yesterday. We were always up to no good, but then we grew up to be women of faith. We know who our father is and I rest assured that you are definitely in a better place. 
We would laugh endlessly at everything and anything That's how silly we were. We talked about fashion, especially shoes. We encouradged one another in the Lord often. I miss having you around, but I know that you are at peace now. No more pain.
Till we meet again.
