Impacted Well Wishers
I do not know Ronald Nguasa'ah, but after reading all his friends posts , he was truly a touch friend everyone may wish for in there life time. I feel so much hurt even tho I do not have chance to know him. He was such a good angel. When God send us an angel we never recognize them till they when back to our father.the most sad part is that he only have 2week left for his graduation from medical school. I know it hurts when you spend all you life time schoolings, its not easy at all. But the good part is you have left a foot step in people life, heart for theirs entire life.at the end of all the story that I read, learn is to be humble and change something in people life before God call us home. REST IN A PERFECT BEAUTIFUL PLACE. I wih you could see how your friends , family,and unknown are hurt. But God know the best--- KafuiAtsome
Howdy Ola!!! Hope your studies are coming along fine. I went to Ronald's wake as promised. It went very well. Probably one of the most memorable wake I have ever been to seriously. The priest talked about the blog called promise by Aunty Ro which was meant to be said during his wedding. The Dr. spoke who came to Bonaire spoke. He was very detailed and upfront. He told us how he died and how he went back to the exact place he had passed. I thought that was remarkable. He thanked the students and Bonairans. Then some of his friends gave testimony as well as some relatives. Then the Aunty asked me to speak. I had a little stage fright but I was okay. I spoke for maybe 2-3 minutes. I spoke mainly about how Ron used to give me rides to school when he'd seen me walking and how greatful I was. I also talked about how everyone was raising money for him. Just wanted to give you heads up. Cheers Dear!!!!! --Zoe
I just wanted to share with everyone, a response that I received from a friend of mine that is from Holland, and works here in Bonaire. After I sent him the Blog "sendronhome" link he responded with this:

"I really appreciate that you took the time to forward this link to me. Up till now, I didn't have any information about Ron. I feel very sorry for you that you have lost such a good friend and also a wonderful teammate. If I read your story I get the feeling that he was a very optimistic and positive person. As we need more of those people here, I also consider this a loss for the island."
This is the perspective of the people here, that didn't know Ron, but now due to everyone's memories, and kind words, people now understand what kind of person he was, and this story has really moved a lot of people. You guys are amazing! -- AmyFrom ChoCho La
ChoCho La!!! ChoCho La!!!
There was one person in the world who called me this way, whenever I heard someone call me this I knew without doubt that it was you Super!!!. I will never forget that Christmas morning when still sleeping after a heavy night out I was woken by that special call just to see that you had traveled all the way from the US without letting any of us know just to surprise us. That was the kind of elder brother friend you were to us all…we came to know you through your junior brother Juno but with time you were just another brother to us all…we will never forget all the excitement we had when you did all you could to see to it that we will be the first people in Bamenda to touch the consoles of a PlayStation 3.
Memories carry me far back to the night you had to travel to the US for the first time in September 2008, the night we spent on the Beach in Limbe, just the four of us, Juno, Miki, You and Myself, you brought along two special bottles of brandy (Napoleon) and that was the first time all of us were drinking brandy freely without hiding from the gaze of any parent, and how at 2 a.m higly boozed we held hands on the road at mile six and wished you a safe trip to the US, it was a happy moment for us because you were finally going to have all the opportunity to follow your dreams.
Talking about football, you were always the person I was comfortable having at the left back position or at the central defense position and you had this sweet maxim which went thus, ‘Chocho La!!! Either man pass ball remain or ball pass man remain’ hahahaha….there is not one sad memory I can remember about you. I remember the last time we spoke just 8 days before you passed I was trying to tell you about my new girl friend and you searched her profile to no avail and I can’t believe you passed without her having an opportunity to meet you. 1st April, I can never forget all the emotion that went through my mind when Juno called me crying that Super was dead….Juno is one of the people I can never remember haven seen sobbing that loud, I called back and he told me they had just received a call from someone in Bonaire informing them, I went online and called people hoping that it was an April Fool’s joke, it’s only when I spoke to two school mates of yours at SJSM that I knew it was true but even then I spent the whole night praying that someone will tell me in the morning that it was a joke, but alas it was no joke, you had played the biggest April’s Fool on us all your Family, your friends and all who knew you, TRULY YOU HAD LEFT US.
It has finally taken me four days to believe that you are no more amongst us…when I look at how sadden and brokenhearted I am writing this memoire of you, all I can do is pray for the Lord to comfort Juno and Ma Vero, she had become a mother to us all, I just hope she will have the courage to move on knowing that you are no more here, you were an inspiration to us all and whenever we thought of your coming which you did often, we knew you were going to organize football games, parties, PlayStation contest and so many other things. I feel empty inside right now and I have spent the past week asking why, what really happened, why it had to be you of all people…but no matter how many questions I ask as a Christian I know God has a better plan and His ways are not our ways and all I can say is rest in peace brother and prepare a place for all of us for it is a path we all shall travel and knowing that you have gone before me I am ready to travel it now for I am sure your presence will make it a better place to be. To all those who knew the tender person you were and to all those I am sure are sharing my pain and loss right now, Ma Vero, Juno Beloved, Chris Fuhgwa, Linjoum Climax, Nisber Berg, Abili Carlos, AZ Davids, Daniel N Allo, Casio, Tebo Njei, Amabo Emma, Ateh Macho and all those whom I have not mentioned please we have a duty to send our brother to the second phase of life in the same style he kept us when he was here, Adieu Supper, Canavaro, Ron.

Still Scoring
RRoooonnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!
Guess what?
Chelsea 2 v 1 Sunderland.
Chelsea 2 v 1 Sunderland.
hahahahhahahhahahhhahhahahahhahahahhah I caught you.
Been waiting on skype to teach u football. At least this is the one thing we could talk about all day and laugh and argue and fight each other. I called u my twin brother cuz we had almost everything similar for likes and dislikes. Today of all, we woulda commented on all the faults and strong points of the match. You woulda lamented on how Drogba would have done some super passes and how the blues were not at their best, they were just fortunate to have won...besides its at Stamford Bridge. You woulda argued the five changes that were made and how Chelsea may have had the likes of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata on the pitch but their attacks were lacking in both inspiration and creativity. I know what you woulda said about Torres and the impact he had on Ba's replacement. ooohhhh my Ron. it was fun. Amazing how those days of long arguments on football are now priceless. I'd give anything to have a second of them.
You are gone and I cannot dispute that but the memories you've left in my heart will forever be held in high esteem. Check this priceless pic i made for us... Lol i know what you are saying now ''see this mash-ball'' but of course you know my level for football. lol I love and miss you Ron and will always do.
I'm smiling now cuz I feel deep within me and I'm strongly convicted you are now scoring goals for the Lord.
Adieu my Nguasa'ah Ronald, until we meet to part no more.

Your efforts and stories have proven how much of a blessing Ronald was. All extra proceeds will go towards the funeral.
- Thank you
The Promise
Hello Ron,
How are you today? How's heaven? Is it like we all thougth it is? Now you can see Jesus face-face. Are the soles of your feet burning now that you are in his presence all the time?. Guess what? Those feet are still spreading the gospel of christ even in your passing. I know what you want from me, I know you want me to let everyone know how you came to know the lord. You always told me that you wanted me to tell everyone on your wedding day. Guess what? this is your wedding season coz you are now married to the lord. Please tell me how it feels like to feell completely loved? You always told me it was a beautiful thing and you day dreamed about it. Tell me, how glorious your wedding day was, well.. one day to us is like a thousand with the lord so I'm sure your are still at your wedding. How did it feel touching Jesus, hearing his voice? You always yearned to hear his voice now you are enveloped in it. You wanted everyone to know how christ transformed your life. You asked me to make you a promise that I would tell the story at your wedding. Well.. It's your wedding and I want to fulfill my promise. Remember I always told you that one day in the future I would be somewhere and I would hear you are preaching the gospel? well, you are now.
Remember, you had to use your profession as a doctor to go on mission trips and preach the gospel? I'm glad you are resting. you always said " Ro, Ro, I wan to be happy" please tell me how it feels now. You are at peace only that is not pleasing the woman you love " your mom". You always said you wanted to please the woman you love. Well, I just fulfilled my promise. It's your wedding and I just told your testimony of how Christ changed you and I will continue to share it with the world. When I left Bonaire I said we might meet in heaven, I was prophesying wasn't I?
---- Bye, Aunty Ro
