    Tribute from Gladys Little did I know that Thursday the 30th of October 2025 will be the last time I will be chatting to you face to face. When I turned my back to leave your house, you called my name, I turned back looking at you and you said 'Gladys I love and you put your hands together and said 'thank you' and I responded as usual 'I love you too Auntie, just hung in there and I will see you Saturday'. On Friday the 31st October 2025 @ 11. 27 am, I called and spoke to you for 8 minutes and ended by saying see you Saturday. 1st of November 2025, the excitement of coming to give you the stuff I got for you became a nightmare and challenging! An experience that will forever remain with me. Since knowing Auntie Margaret, we talked almost every day wherever I am, Auntie Margaret you were a good listener, your love for me kept me going even in the hard times, regardless of your own pain, you kept encouraging me to carry on. You believed in me which made loving you very easy even though you were very stubborn sometimes, that I have to constantly push you with the word of God to agree with me. You said to my mum if only she could have had two of Gladys, you will unapologetically selfishly take one Gladys and not share, you would always say ' the daughter I never had is here to see me. it's been a very hard struggle for me to come to terms with your demise. You were very proud of my catering skills and almost everything I did, you never found fault with me? When I query you, you would look straight in my eyes and say 'I mean every word Gladys'. My beautiful Auntie, when I watch some of our video clips all that comes to mind is 'Candle in the wind' a symbol of a life that burned brightly but was extinguished too soon. You will never be forgotten, I will always treasure the happy memories and the warmth you bring. You were my best friend, my confidant and my Auntie. You will always be in my heart. In this last 8 years, towards the end of each year you would say 'Gladys next year is our year we have got to do something' Next year never came for you Auntie Margaret but who knows perhaps the next year didn't go with you and the dream of a cake school in Ghana didn't die either. If the Lord tarries and there is life 'Margaret Cakes of Distinction' could one day be birthed in Ghana in your Memory. I don't know how and don't know when but one thing I know for sure is Philippians 4:13 in the Bible. I trust in Jesus and I have learned to depend upon His Word. So today, I don't just say goodbye I say thank you Auntie. Thank you for every quiet kindness, every shared moment, every warm memory, and every bit of strength you passed on without even knowing it. I will carry your memory forward not in grand gestures, but in the quiet, small, loving ways you always did in caring without conditions. In listening without judgment. In loving without limits. That was your gentle way, Auntie Margaret and that's the legacy you've left with me. Rest in Perfect Peace my Darling Auntie Margaret Damrifa Due Auntie Margaret Due Ne Amanehunu

    You have blessed our lives with love, care community connections and with your gentle spirit. Thank God you showed us Him with all of who He was in you. Greater is He that lived in you than he that is in the world.

    In loving memory of Margaret I first met Margaret when I was only eight or nine, and she became one of those unforgettable adults who stays with you through life. I remember her beside Uncle Bill in her beautiful robes — elegant, calm and quietly radiant. The cake shop was pure magic to me. Each creation showed her talent, patience and warmth, and those memories will stay with me always. Margaret was strong, independent, no-nonsense and kind. As Ama Ata Aidoo wrote "She listens to her own tales, laughs at her own jokes and follows her own advice". Those words remind me of Margaret's steady sense of herself and the way she lived life on her own terms. It brings comfort to imagine her back with Bill now — laughing, dancing, and at peace. Together again, as they were in the very best of times. I am sorry I will not be there, when they lay you to rest Margaret, but I will wear purple, sky blue and be thinking about you. Colleen

    When I first went to the shop, she greeted me with the biggest smile on her face, welcoming me as a new client. As time went on, she taught me how to steady my grip and guide a piping bag like a paintbrush. Over the months, she shared stories with me—stories that came alive between swirls of icing and bursts of laughter. She spoke lovingly, almost proudly, about her husband. He had been in the army, she said, and the things he'd done in his life could fill a book. She told me about the places he'd travelled, the discipline he carried with him, and the strength he brought home even when the world wasn't easy. Sometimes her eyes softened when she spoke about him, as if she could still hear his footsteps coming through the door. She also shared memories of herself as a young girl, how she met him, and the famous people she'd crossed paths with over the years. She showed me photo albums filled with pictures and letters from the people she'd made cakes for. If I didn't call her, she would call me—just to see how I was—and she would tell me she hadn't seen me recently in the cake shop. I'd laugh and say, "Won't I get on your nerves?" but she never seemed to mind. Whenever I visited, she would proudly show me her newest designs. During the course I took with Margaret, she gave me a certificate for the baskets and decorations she taught me how to make , and my picture still hangs in the shop alongside the others who attended. It makes me proud every time I see it. There are no words that truly describe Margaret. She was one in a million, and nothing will ever explain how much she meant to me. I still can't believe she's gone. Love you Margaret
