Dakum called on the senator and his entire family to see her death as an act of God, as they did everything humanly possible to secure her healing but to no avail.
He commended Diket for standing by his wife and showing her all the love a husband should as he did everything possible to the extent of taking her overseas for treatment; saying her death takes a great toll on him, but he should take heart knowing that the Almighty God is with him and his family at this moment of great loss and grief.
According to him, to depart with love ones through death is uneasy, but we have a sure consolation that the death of a believer in Christ is rest, and also the good Lord has promised to be with us in our trying moments; adding that his strength is made perfect in our weakness, saying he will not leave or forsake us. In these he exhorted, the Plangs should take consolation in God, as he is fully in control to heal all wounds, mend broken hearts and comfort us.
Dakum beseeches the Plangs to also see Janet's departure from the world as rest having completed her God's given task, and to take consolation in the legacies of motherhood, wifey and lecturing she left behind, which greatly spurred their attainment to greatness in the pursuit of their lives' endeavours, and nation building.
He commended the deceased for bearing the torch 'For Light and Truth', the motto of her secondary school alma mata in all her undertakings, and for contributing hugely in the development and progress of the education sector through grooming so many students both at her station, University of Jos, Plateau State University Bokkos where she did her sabbatical leave and Baze University where she was lecturing on leave of absence.
Dakum further eulogized her for standing firm by her husband in fostering democracy in the state and the nation at large where he held many different elective positions and his rise to the senator representing Plateau Central Senatorial Zone in the National Assembly.
He praised Janet for grooming her children well, adding that she did everything possible to live an exemplary life to her family, students, the church and others who looked up to her.
The former Commissioner of Information and Health prayed the Almighty God to comfort and grant the entire family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and for the soul of the deceased to rest in peace.
