ADIEU PA GHONG FIDELIS


As the casket closed, more tears dropped.
The atmosphere was filled with sorrow and pains as read on the faces of mourners. The wailing and the loss of a son, father, brother, uncle, godfather and above all a husband, speaks volumes of a great loss.
As he fed the flock, the shepherd of St Martin De Pores Catholic Church Wum remarked that the presence of all is a manifestation of their solidarity, not only to the bereaved family, but also to the staff of Wum Council, the entire Catholic Church, the entire division and the labour family.

Describing Ghong Fidelis Fuo as a hardworking, ever ready to go where others will not go, jovial, loving and caring father, straight forward and truthful, Rev.Fr Michael Mua called on both the immediate and extended families, as well as the industrial family, to uphold the legacy left by Pa Ghong Fidelis, and to make all attempts to fill the vacuum his death has created, though it would not be an easy task.
The requiem mass was a unique opportunity, for the Lord Mayor of Wum Council, Mr. Dighambong Anthony Mvo, to express profound sympathy to the bereaved family. He exhorted them to accept the great loss with faith in the risen Lord. Pa Ghong  has been honoured by Wum Council, as the street from Zongekwo to Kooh-fe-Ngom, is now known as FUO STREET.
If tears could bring late Pa Ghong Fidelis back to life, his family members, colleagues, catholic Christians and the entire population of Menchum and beyond, will cry him a river. But he is gone forever and it is going to be a very long time, to take the shock away. Until we meet to part no more, Adieu Pa Ghong Fidelis.
