Forghab Mahiva Mongmoh

“Saying goodbye to you is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You were more than a best friend; you were my chosen family, my anchor in the storm, and the person who knew me better than anyone else😔. Your laugh could light up the darkest room. We shared countless moments of pure joy that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You stood by me through thick and thin, never judging, always listening, and offering a shoulder to lean on. The kindness, warmth, and love you showed everyone around you will never fade. You made people feel seen and cared for😭 Your immeasurable love towards me was out of this world😭 how I wish we are traveling to Santa for a wedding and not a burial. Your Godson Simone will miss you so much Mahi❤️”

“TRIBUTE IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED SISTER MAHIVA From the CYF Bastos Family It is with profound sorrow, heavy hearts, and humble submission to the will of God that we bid farewell to our beloved Sister Forghab Mahiva Mongmoh, fondly known to us as Mahi. Mahiva grew up within the church family, passing through Sunday School and Young People's Fellowship (YP) before joining the Christian Youth Fellowship (CYF) Bastos, where she was admitted in 2019. From then on, she became more than just a member of the fellowship. She became a sister, a friend, a worshipper, a worker, and a source of joy to many. Mahiva was a fervent worshipper, a committed worker, ever-smiling and always ready to serve. Her quiet strength, humility and genuine love for people were evident in the way she related with others. Whether in worship, prayer, fellowship, rehearsals or the many activities of the fellowship, she gave herself wholeheartedly. In her, we saw the beauty of Christian love expressed through service and dedication. Her zeal for the things of God was contagious. She did not always need to be at the forefront to make an impact. Her presence, her willingness to help and her gentle spirit spoke for her. CYF Bastos has lost a sister, a friend, a pillar and a rare gem. As we prepared the proposed programme and budget for 2026, our thoughts were filled with plans for the year ahead. We thought far and wide about the things we would accomplish together, but in our deepest thoughts and wildest dreams, we never imagined that death would call one of our own home so soon. Your departure has taught us a lesson we cannot easily forget: to number our days, to live purposefully, and to faithfully fulfil the calling God has placed upon our lives, regardless of our age or how much time we think we have. We are reminded that tomorrow is never promised, and that while we make our plans, our lives ultimately remain in the hands of our Creator. Yet, even through our tears, we choose to give thanks. We thank Almighty God for the gift of your life and for the privilege of having walked and fellowshipped with you. We thank Him for every worship service, every rehearsal, every programme, every conversation, every laughter and every moment we shared as a fellowship family. It was brief, but it was beautiful. It was brief, but it was meaningful. And it was brief, but it was impactful. If tears could bring you back, we would have dried our eyes long ago. If our love could keep you here, you would still be among us. If we could see what tomorrow holds, perhaps we would have held our loved ones a little closer. But we are not able to fully understand all that God does or all that He has planned. We only know that our times are in His hands, and that at His right hand stands our Saviour, Jesus Christ, in whom we have hope beyond this life. We weep because we will miss you. We rejoice because we believe that you are resting in the presence of your Maker, where there is no pain, no sorrow and no suffering, but eternal peace and joy. Faithful soldier, your earthly race is over. Your service here is complete. Your battle has been fought, and your faith has been kept. We may no longer see you standing among us during our fellowship meetings. We may no longer hear your gentle voice in our songs or see your familiar smile among us. But your memory will remain woven into the story of CYF Bastos. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts. Rest on, dear Sister Mahiva. Rest in the peace of Christ, until that glorious morning when we shall meet again at the feet of Jesus. **Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever a part of the CYF Bastos family.** May your gentle and faithful soul rest in perfect peace with the Lord. With love and deepest sympathy, The CYF Bastos Family”

“My dear Mahiva, boo, Cherie ❤️ It is with heavy fingers that I write of you in the past, it with with deep pain that I finally decide to write this, I for once thought this could be a dream, but truly you're gone. We have so many memories you have left us with, your kind, gentle, caring of loving nature. Your smiles, your encouragement and many others. I remember when my elder sister gave birth to a baby girl 4years ago on same date of birth like you, I called and informed you and told you she was to be named Mahiva after you, you came home and celebrated your Mbombo, you became a part of my family and they all loved you you made it a habit to celebrate her birthday each year in your little loving way. your namey and my family were deeply broken about the news of your exit . As human beings we fell out at some point I am particularly grateful for that night you called me out and we spoke about what kept us apart. I remember when you informed me of your job at MTN and gave me the procedure to follow and kept on following up to see that I dropped my documents, but due to other preoccupations, I didn't. You still informed me of every opportunity that came up. Mahi boo, I can go on and on 💔 😭😭 where do you take all these to? You have left me with so many questions bae, but as Christians we do believe that God has a reason for everything and and in everything we should give thanks, I greatly thank God for your life my sister. For to is Christ and to live is gain, I choose to grow above the pain and rejoice in the hope that you have gained. Rest well boo till we meet to part no more ❤️”
