Cyprians A Forbin - Online Memorial Website

My dear brother, this is to inform you that sister Agie answered the call to join you last Friday, December 13, 2019 at 7:43 AM. I am quite sure both of you will reunite with our parents and sister untill we join you.
It seems as it was yesterday that you and i had a conversion at sister Agie's resident here in Silver Spring. Please take care of your little sister.
Your brother,
Stephen

Today I remmeber thee Cy. How long it has been ! Time flying furiously fast yet it seem to be yesterday when the dreadful news was told. Now, it is the turn of you little extended family brother. Pius Lebong Mofor has joined you in the land of the Unseen.
He goes well prepared and ready to be with all who has gone ahead. Adieu P.M. as my
husband fondly calls him. We shall never know what lies ahead. Yes another one lost to the greediness of this dreadful disease known as cancer.
Today it is someone else gone to the land of the Unseen and tomorrow it may be me.

Uncle CY the painis still the same. Time does no healing. Time does not make the pain
go away. Time certainly make the pain lingers around. Time will tell they say. Nevertheless, time has helped us move on but does that translate as healing. The memories of yesterday so fresh as if it was today. The sense of calm fills the air. What lies beyond the storm one can never tell. The sense of calm.. really? Another day to reminise...

Dear Uncle CY,
       When I heard you died I was very upset. I was praying to God that you would servive I guess I was'nt praying enough. You allways did good things for people, for Christmas, in Philadelphia, and other things I can't remember.April 12,2015 I went to church and I said the rosery and prayed for you. April 16,2015 God took you away from us.See you later.

Dear Uncle CY I remember when we went to Philalelphiata take you to your doctor I helped you put on your seat belt. I also rembembered when you gave me $20 for Christmas. I rembmbered when I bushed you around on the wheelchair. When I went to church and I did the rosary and I prayed for you. You were so nice to me. Goodbye.

My deepest condolences to the Forbin family.  Cyprians was a one-of-a-kind character.  I worked with Cyprians for several years at FedEx, and he was the type of person who I looked forward to seeing, be it good day or bad.  He was deeply passionate, educated, opinionated and had the most contagious laugh you will ever hear!  He had a wide range of interests, from business to politics to social issues to sports and enjoyed discussing and debating those interests with others.  I will miss our spirited dialogue and the comic relief that Cyprians brought to the office each and every day.  I am glad, however, that Cyprians no longer has to suffer like I know he did the last few years of his life.  He is finally at peace.  Cyprians, God bless you.  

Your Friend,
Jim 

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

My deapest Sympathy to the Forbin Family, I have worked with Cyprians for many years at Fedex , he was a great man and will be missed. I hope you all find peace.

Bro CY, you and the family have been on a long journey and  we have weathered the storm. I am still in doubt to hear that you are no more. I know that where ever you are you are truely happy to be there. Without any doubt you were a peaceful loving man. I still can picture and hear your voice when we used to talk every day and you always give me words of encouragement. Words cannot explain how much i am missing you. You will always remain in my heart so long as l live and i know the Almighty is caring for you now. Mamma Susana, pappa Atemkeng, Mamma Anastacia  and pappa Benedict Ntimeeh are waiting for you. Have a beautiful time.

My sincere heart felt condolences to CY's family. I met CY over 20 years ago and I can truely say that he was one of the most genuine people that I have ever known. He never wavered in his charcter. My family and I will miss CY. God bless you all in the days, weeks and months to come.

Bro CY, If i were to ask  God why he took you  away from us, I would. But, i cannot ask because death is a mistery and only God alone knows why people die. I remember  how i kept calling your number and you were unable to answer. I was worried but never dreamt  that you will be gone so soon. Within a short time, you taught me a lot of things most especially you stress on unity in the family and  Your voice was strong with this words. Never in my mind did i even think of something else.  I had planned to visit you the following week-end only to learn that you are no more. It was heart breaking. I miss you so much. Nothing can replace your loss in my heart. I know you are with God and you are preparing a place for us in the next world. Good bye.

Bro. CY,

In as much as it saddens us of your passing, I do believe that you are in a good
place and in a much better state now, where you don't have to experience all that
excruciating pains anymore.You gave the fight your all, but The All mighty had a
different plan, so we have to accept it. It is a road that we all shall end up on, this was simply your time.Please take care till we see again.

Joe Forbin 

Dear brother Cyprian, you always stood tall amidst all the challenges life presented you. You strode with a difined spirit and character the years God granted you. In quiet you sought solace and peace with your creator.

And Yes, you have finally made it. Though it aches my heart and causes me to fear and accept our presence here is just a visit; I know you have taken that gigantic step onto our common path and united destiny, in which the moment of separation is concealed to us who are still on the race track.

But beyond this awe, loss and desire to say it the best I can; I know you have finally overcome pains, fear and the awesome need to keep breathing in order to sustain the mortal frame God molded you into; but, I still wish to say Ashia and Safe Journey.

That in memory of the most touching moment of our communication - when you in Mamfe picked me from the street, took over my luggage and led me to my parents in absolute sympathy - unveiling the depth of your own compassion, I dare here to pray: - that wherever you are, may God's Angels find you, shower you with multifold compasion, and lead you home for a perfect peace and eternal rest in their heavenly bliss. Amen

Cyprians will never be forgotten at CTCA~!! He was a spiritual man. a deep thinker who lived his beliefs. Cypians was always a gentleman - even when he was very sick. I will miss seeing and speaking with him at CTCA. He inspired me~!! Rest in Peace with the Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary my friend Cyprians. Your Friend, Lorraine

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Cyprians. He was a coworker of mine for many years and it was with great sorrow I heard the news of his death. If it is true that "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die" then Cyprians will always be with us. I know what an great impact he had on many people here and I count myself blessed to have been one of them. He will not be forgotten. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying for peace and comfort for you in your time of grief.

My Brother, we came on earth on the same day, but God has called you ahead of me. I am still saddened by your sudden departure from me, on Thursday April 16 2015. Your absence has created a vacuum in my heart, that will stay for the rest of my life. I know how you struggled to stay with us, but God had a better plan for you. Please prepare a better place for me, till we meet to part no more.
Your Twin Sister, Justine Forbin 

  I worked with Cyprians at Fedex Trade Networks for 3 years and had a great deal of respect for him.  He was one of my favorite people to work with and speak to.  I will miss working with him, laughing with him and seeing him here daily.  I am so sorry for your family's loss.

It is with unbelievable shock and abysmal sense of loss that i got the news of your demise on Thursday 16 APRIL 2015, just a few days after we spoke. The force with which you spoke, gave me assurance of your health. My dear brother CY, you know what it means writing an obituary with passion and admirable glee. Here i am, still in shock and disbelieve, waiting for someone to wake me up on phone and whisper to me that, it all but a dream. Brother, i love you, but God loves you more. Go ahead and prepare away for us. Adieu Adieu Adieu.
Emilia. JR Sister. 

The sight is breathe-taking. From my post I can see below. Serenity, Peace and calm of my soul prevails. Horizon bekoning at me. Full of life and hope unseen. Never did I resist the force; the force that pulls me. A force so soothing and comforting. Not fully understanding the meaning of all these, my hand I give thee. I see the beauty of thy face full of love and playfulness. With timid steps I leave my post to be with thee now and forever. The others watching and wondering what became of me. Feelings of purity surrounds me and the cloud beyond seems within reach. Noting the calm sea revolving into a mystical rhythm forming a liquid wall. I see you wave adieu with a heavy heart. You should know I could talk to you in your dreams. It is time we part in person but not in spirit. As you do know, nothing ails me at all. With my renewed strength and vigor, I walk tall as I hold my head high. I am moving on to the other side. To be with those whom we love and had gone ahead. Yes it is time to say good bye. Though you hurt, it only bears witness to depths of our meaning.

Remember that the one drop of rain on your forehead on a bright sunny day, the lonely colorful butterfly fluttering away, in playful magic it disappears and appears to circle arround you in circles unseen, the sound of my voice in your heart is testimony of my presence.

Oh yes let me go for I must be greeted too!

In fondest memory. For and on behalf of my childrens' uncle Cyprians A. Forbin
