It Runs in the Veins
The Family That Made Her; The Family She Made.
“Authentic”
Augustine Ayuk-Enow, Husband
I am elated with the outpouring of support from family and friends who are working tirelessly to prepare my wife’s 60th birthday celebration.
To all of you, I say thanks.
It is difficult to write a tribute in a paragraph or two about someone you have known and shared the same space for a little more than half of your years on earth. If asked to outline five things that are her priorities in life, I would identify the 3 Fs: Family, faith, and friends. Next would be real estate and Saker.
Oyere is a compassionate, empathetic, and authentic individual. Her drive for knowledge is boundless. She is an avid reader who also loves to share information with others. She inspires, friends and family, (old and young), but will not bend the rules to gain favors, and does not hold grudges.
As you celebrate 60 years, remember, you are still as precious to me as you were 32 years ago.
Happy birthday my darling!
Augustine Ayuk-Enow

“My Angel on Earth”
Bessem Ayuk-Enow, Daughter
To my beautiful mother, Esther – my angel on earth,
Your laughter has been my soundtrack, your hugs my haven, and your wisdom my guiding light.
You have always been there, steady and strong, helping me navigate life’s twists and turns with grace. Every accomplishment I’ve ever reached has your fingerprints on it, because I’ve never done anything truly alone – you’ve always been in my corner, lifting me higher with your unwavering support and endless love.
It is the deepest honor to celebrate this milestone 60th birthday with you. To witness your strength, joy, and generosity over the years has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. And while today we honor all that you’ve been, I am just as excited for all that you are still to become.
I know there are still so many trails you will blaze, and I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
I love you with all that I am—happy birthday, Mommy ❤️
Bessem Ayuk-Enow,
Daughter.
“Greatness”
Nyenty Ayuk-Enow, Son
My mother’s hard work has always been an inspiration to me.
Growing up, I admired her in so many ways, from her unwavering determination to her ability to balance everything with grace.
She taught me the value of resilience and compassion, and I truly appreciate the kindness with which she raised me.
Her strength, both in challenging times and in everyday life, has shaped who I am today.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had such a loving and hardworking role model, and her influence continues to guide not only me, but those around her, to strive for greatness in every avenue of life.
“Dignity”
Ebai Ayuk-Enow, Son
They say people will follow you not because of the things you do for them but because of the way you make them feel.This is so true about my sweetest mother.
Hello everyone, my name is Ebai Ayuk Enow, son of Esther Ayuk. What more can I say about this incredible woman that people do not already know? Perhaps this might come as a surprise to some but my mother treats others outside her home exactly the same way she treats her family; with consistency, decency and accountability.
She’s not the type to hold things in only to explode later when the opportunity arises. She addresses that issue head-on. It does not matter who you are, she will listen and help you as long as you’re willing to do your best. You will never hear my mother talk about the things she’s doing for people or take credit for helping someone out in life. She does these things because they come from her heart.
The man I have become is a direct result of the lessons learned from my mother.
