Fonsah observed that the Eucharistic celebration was a thanksgiving to God for the life of Mama Njaringi during these 75 years. The man of God said birthdays, anniversaries and jubilees are opportunities given to us to offer thanks to God. Rev. Father Fonsah further hinted that we are called to know that we can all walk this path if we walk with God.
