Thank you message from the Fomuso Family 

It is with much gratitude and deep appreciation that we, the wife, children and the rest of the Fomuso family write to express our hearty thanks for the enormous support rendered to the family on the sad event of the passing away of Ba Nkom Titus Ntungwen Fomuso. We were deeply touched and indeed speechless with the remarkable show of support by the association during those trying moments for the family. We were highly honoured by the presence of members of BCA-USA executive committee both National and Chapter as well as members of the Board of Directors together with a huge and respectable number of members who came out in full force to bid Ba Nkom farewell and support the family, morally, traditionally and financially.
The phone calls, advice, physical presence and financial support given went a long way to comfort the family and assist in all the events leading to his burial and death celebration in Bali Nyonga on the 9th September 2017. We can report that all went well and that he was finally laid to rest on above date. Thanks to the support rendered by the association he was sent home to his creator in honour. We can say with confidence that wherever he is, he would look back with pride that he was indeed amongst his people who really cared for him and his family while he was in the USA.
As a family we shall remain eternally grateful and indebted for the love and support received from the esteemed association, BCA-USA and pledge to support its causes and endeavours to unify and enhance the wellbeing of our Chamba community both out in the Diaspora and back in the homeland.  We pray that the sources from where the support came from shall be replenished many folds over and the association and its values shall continue to witness immense growth and progress.   
Thank you once more to the entire association.
Long live BCA-USA!
