>>It is much regrettable to announce the death of a dear friend and
>>brother, MOMODOU M.MANNEH.This sad event took place on
>>Monday,July,30th,2001. Momodou was born and raised in Manneh Kunda at
>>Salekene in Central Baddibu. He went to Salekene Primary School and later
>>Armitage High School. After his high school career, Momodou worked at the
>>Income Tax Department for a number of years together with Yajama
>>Samba(wife of late Saul Samba) and others. He came to the United States
>>in the early 1970s with the help of his oldest cousin Dr.Momodou
>>M.S.K.Manneh(former minister of Economic Planning in the Jawara
>>Administration).Momodou(the deceased) did his high school at Salisbury
>>High School at Salisbury in Connecticut and later moved to Voorhees
>>College in South Carolina and subsequently Nashville in Tennessee where
>>he lived briefly before he joined his older cousin, Momodou G Manneh in
>>Houston, Texas.
>>
>>Back home in the Gambia, Momodou(the deceased) used to live with his
>>oldest sister at Albion Place. He was a member of the then Hellions Youth
>>Club,which had as its patron,James Gomez(former mayor of Banjul).
>>Momodou, as I write this obituary lays and await decision by the Houston
>>Gambian community whether to fly his body to the Gambia to avail his
>>familly and loved ones the opportunity to say good-bye or to burry him in
>>Houston and therefore deny his familly the opportunity mentioned above.
>>The situation is such because the community at Houston cannot pay the
>>bill to fly the body to the Gambia. In light of the foregoing, I wish to
>>appeal to all Gambians every where to assist the folks at Houston to
>>enable them make the right decision by donating what one can afford. This
>>donations can be sent to: MOMODOU MANNEH,BANK ACCT#0132423,UNITY NATIONAL
>>BANK.2602 BLODGETT,HOUSTON,TX.77004.Momodou is survived by a son (SAUL
>>MANNEH) whom he named after the late Saul Samba because of his close
>>friendship with Yajama Samba at the time they were both working at the
>>Income Tax Department. Unfortunately Momodou has never set eye on his son
>>nor has the latter set eye on his father.It should be noted that when
>>Saul Manneh was brought into this world, his father,(the deceased) had
>>already left the Gambia and was going to school in Connecticut. Folks,
>>should we all not come together and help our friends at Houston to fly
>>this deceased's body back to the Gambia to atleast avail Saul Manneh the
>>only chance to physically see and feel his father and pay his last
>>respect to him before he may be laid to rest.
>>
>>I thank all of you in anticipation for your generous donations. May Allah
>>The Almighty reward all of you. AMEN.
