John Williams N. Fomenky

Chief, dear, my condolence on the loss of ur bro John, may u find comfort in the lord dat he is resting in the bossom of the almighty and even though u miss him, his struggles are over.

Dear John:

God allows us to go through our own trials and tribulations just to hold us even closer when we overcome.  Your story is one in which many are finding strength and comfort.  Although you suffered more than what any of us can fanthom to bear, you never lost your faith.  We thank God for your faithfulness to the cause of Christ; we thank God for your enduring the pain and suffering, just as Jesus did at Calvary and never denying that you served a "Mighty God."  We know that God Himself was at that Pearly gate, ready to welcome you into His kingdom, a mansion made not with hands, eternal in heavens.  May God continue to comfort your beloved family.

You are gone, but not forgotten dear friend!

DEAR Anike, the Nokuri and Fomenky Family

It was shocking though comforting to learn of the passing on of Brother John Fomenky. I knew him when I was a kid - though I have not seen him for a very long time, I am most encouraged by stories of his resilience, valiance and unswerving gusto while on his earth sojourn. Yes, that unusual and supernatural strength which is God- provided was his deepest comfort through difficult moments - Yes, JESUS is the answer to all of life's trouble and turmoil.
My deepest condolences to Ma Beatrice Nokuri, Sis. Harriet, Ma Eposi, Sis Linda, Danilo, Mbongo, Sondi and 'Nganga. May the Good Lord who has comforted and strengthened you this far continue His Good Works in your lives.

My dear brother John, I didn't meet u physically in this life but heard so many wonderful stories abt u............I know u are in a good place now.........RIP..................COUSIN Ajong

Nzewoh what moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget from K'Town to 733 Sligo ave #611 ss, MD. where you joined me upon arrival to the USA. Rest is peace. 

John and I joined Mount Vernon Baptist Church in South Arlington, Virginie in 1985. We spent many years of fellowship and religious participation until he moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, where he continued his struggles with an illness that he grew into. Even the illness never took away from John the joy of life, and he did all he could do to enjoy every day as if it was the last day. Needless to recount all his pleasurable moments. We shared some great moments together, and I thank Emile for keeping me updated whenever John was in and out of hospitals.

John's mother and mine served in the Baptist Mission since we were born, and raised us to believe and trust in the promises of eternity by Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am sure John is in heaven, and believe we all will meet again in spirit. My best wishes to all in the Williams and Fomenky families during the difficult, but special time that we are mourning and celebrating the mystery of John's life.

God's Blessing Upon Us All !!!          Kafain Emmanuel Mbeng, Sr 

My Dearest John .
It is with pain that we loose you, but it's also a celebration  for your entire life of  pain to come to an end.You lived a life of courage and acceptance which makes you  " A GREAT SURVIVOR".  Knowing u from 1978 to the present is no small event. We shared a lot together that I will never forget; especially the drama in the hospital ,the calls i received whatever time no matter where I was,the jokes we shared ,the help you offered to me when I just arrived  in the U.S, the advice you gave me,the complaints and the food we ate together.It is hard but I have to accept it and thank the Lord for making your pains come to an end. May Your  Soul rest in Perfect Peace. May The almighty Lord grant you eternal rest.Thank you so much for appreciating all the little assistance that I gave you.
Your Princess as you always call me.BYE -Bye my dear brother and friend.

Accept my condolence. As you mourn uncle johnny (that is how i fondly call him), remember that he is in a better place; where there is no more pain and ceaseless hospital admissions. Do not mourn like those in the world because he was born in the Lord, and he died in the Lord. I do remember in those difficult times, uncle Johnny will call me for a prayer session, we prayed for hours, believing God for supersonic healing from Heaven. On one of our prayer sessions over the phone, he said and i quote " Whether good health or bad health, i just love God for who he is: whether he heals me or not, that is his decision and he knows why. But when the appointed time comes, i know i will sit and feast with him on the same table in heaven". Oh my God....., i cannot tell you how much inspiration i got from this sick brother. I said to myself that if someone who is always sick and in the hospital 3/4 of his life can love and appreciate the goodness of God, what about me who is strong and healthy.My prayer for this family is that God should carry you all thru this period.
John has died in the Lord. That is his Legacy. Those of us still living, What will be our own legacy when we die? Stay blessed.
