Leticia Asante, the mother of the late Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has described her son as her miracle, her answered prayer and life's greatest honour.
A tribute at the solemn state funeral on Friday, August 15, 2025, stated, "My Handsome King, from the moment I first held you in my arms on December 26, 1975, at Nkawkaw Holy Family Hospital, I knew my life had changed forever.
You were not just my child, you were my miracle, my answered prayer, my only son, and my treasure in whom I am pleased." She recalled his childhood, describing him as a curious, intelligent and compassionate boy who grew into a man of wisdom, integrity and humility. "Every step you took, I was there quietly cheering, praying, and believing in the greatness God placed in you," she said.
She added that he remained her pride and joy throughout her life.
