A multitude of friends and relatives from Cameroon and abroad  joined the family of Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, September 12 at the Presbyterian Church Santa West to bid farewell to Ma Esther Maforna Halle who journeyed to the Lord on August 14, 2009.

The man of God noted that from available facts, late Ma Esther lived a successful life. He said people who had been close to Ma Esther attested that her generosity knew no boundary adding that “considering that death is inevitable, people should live in a way that when they depart from this world, others should have reasons to celebrate like the celebration that day for Ma Esther who left positive marks as a loving, hospitable and God fearing mother”.
