  I never met Theresa personally, but I've had the privilege of working with her daughter Josephine Olamide and sharing many stories about our families through the days. The one thing that always touched my heart was the love and closeness shared by family and friends, and everyone who knew Theresa would call her 'MOTHER'. One story about Theresa was how she kept in touch with everyone she knew, calling them to see how life was treating them, and if she couldn't get through the first time, she would continue to call just to make sure the person was ok. How wonderful to have someone in your life who cared about you so much she would always stay in touch with you just like a true Mother to ALL. Keeping you all in my prayers- Joyce Andrecht

  🕯 We can't believe she is gone!!! She was a great Mother, Grand- Mother, Caring and a Strong Catholic Believer. Proper Mannerly and Faithful. And she lived a life that set an example for the younger ones as well as the children. We're so lucky and fortunate to have met her. She was Patient, Simple, Quiet, Steady and Solid etc. We will forever miss your endless call even if we didn't return her call on time... May Her gentle Soul Rest In peace. -The Amudipe Family.

  No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before l knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flows, what it meant to lose you, Thank you for being a mom to my family. I remember all the words you said to me, all the things you did for me, l see now with different eyes, l remember every moment we shared, seems like only yesterday, it's really hard to say you are gone, but your memory resides inside my heart. No matter how old we are, losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know, but your goodness, your caring and your wisdom live like a legacy of love that will always be with us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank God for you. We will always miss you and love you. Goodbye MOTHER. Rest in the bossom of the Lord. With love from all of us.

  🕯 My beautiful Friend, Words cannot describe the shock and deep sorrow I felt when the news of your sudden death got to me. If I knew that when I dropped you off that last Sunday before we both traveled, that I would never see you again, I would have lingered to soak in more of your words of wisdom before driving off. You are gone but you will always be remembered by all who knew you. You embodied beauty, humility, dignity and most of all, the love of God and your fellow human being. I know in my heart that when I turn to that middle second row seat to say “Let us pray to the Lord” or “Peace be with you” you are there with your reassuring smile wishing everyone all around you the same. Your friends at St Elizabeth Ann Seton miss you dearly but we are consoled by the belief that you are up there smiling and interceding for us. My family join me in extending our condolence to your family and all others who love you dearly. Rose Anyanwu

  🕯 Mother was a woman of faith, modesty, and a great role model. She left a legacy of faith and love for us to emulate. She was a great mother who truly cared for everybody around her. Very humble. We will surely miss your motherly care and moral support. Your departure was sudden and your journey fairly short. But you made the most of the time you had by lives you touched and the impact you made on people. We love you mother, but the Almighty God loves you more. May your gentle soul rest in peace. -Sheri Akingbemi and family

  🕯 Looking back, the most fitting word that describes you is FAITHFUL! You always check up on me and my family. You don't wait for me to call, you find me out and always, always express your best wishes and prayers. Thank you for being an example of a thoughtful and caring Mother. RIP Omilanas

  🕯 ......We mourn her loss nd weep "over here"; but the Angels rejoice nd are happy "over there" (cos one of theirs is home)...... She was christened THERESA; but, from (even) her own Mum, to her Siblings, her Children; we, her Nieces nd Nephews; GRANDchildren (Our own Children) nd GREATgrandchildren (Our Grandchildren)!!! grin emoticon nnnd the "larger" family nd friends, call her "MOTHER"! We love her well, but Jesus loves her best. Sooo, it is NOT "farewell"; .......only "GOODNIGHT" Beloved, to "the last (wo)man standing"; "the LAST of the FIRST generation"; Mrs Theresa Cecelia Aina Wey (nee da-SILVA). .........Our own "MOTHER THERESA". .......Sleep well. #HeavenzGAIN!!!!

  Mother, as you were fondly called by your biological children and those that knew you, your death was a rude shock to us and it leaves us a headache nobody can heal and your memory a heart that none can take. You were indeed a great blessing to me and my children. You were a Godly mother in Christ. Mother, loved all around her. I will never forget your love towards my family. You loved us unconditionally. You adopted me as your daughter and you passed the love to my late husband and children. You never missed any week-end without giving me a call and asked for our wellbeing. You even called from England recently to check on me and the children. You were very thoughtful and caring. Mother, my heart is heavy and distraught. You will greatly be missed because you touched and impacted our lives in a positive way and you enveloped us with motherly affection. You were always there whenever l needed you. You had such a large heart. You were very supportive, reliable and dependable. We love you but God loves you most and that is why He called you home early. It is well. May God of all comfort, comfort all your family at this time. Continue to rest in peace MOTHER. Dr. Toyin Fabuluje & children

  🕯 If I had known when I saw you to wish you safe trip would be the last time I would see you physically, I would have held you tighter, hugged you tighter, laughed with you longer. I cherish every moment with you. You were like a mother to me. Ever so gentle and kind. Not a word of harshness from you. I miss your gentle kind encouraging words to me. I'm sure if "whys" could bring you back, you will be here in a second. I've stopped asking why, I'm thanking God for your life. My tears still trickles when I think of you, but God knows best. Rest in the bosom of the almighty God, mother. Love you much! Bisi Akanwo
