A Tribute To My Aunty B from Chief Mrs Chidi Bernadette Ifeandu (Mokwe). It has been so painful to think that you’re no more. Since the news of your demise, it has not been the same, me and my siblings talk about you all the time remembering our good days together. Where do i start, from our parents teaching in the same school, our secondary school days with you being our mentor/mother . I will never forget your protection of “your girls” Me, Elo, Regina, Florence and Pauline. When Dr Edith told me of your relocation to Maryland I was filled with joy and drove down to Baltimore the next day to see you. Since then it was visitation on very regular bases spending most of your weekends with my family . You were one of the founding leaders of Mater Amabilis Old Girls Association in Washington DC Metro Area. We will never forget your contributions towards peace. Aunty B you were so sweet and Plesant coupled with your Aguleri dielect . My husband and Tee Nkegi are mourning . Aunty B mu “Nnunu everio , misiisi ye etezi ukpoo. Jee nke oma resting in bosom of The Lord. Let the Perpertual light shine upon you AMEN

Mama this void you left can never be filled. You were a mother to me and my children. The last time you were in London I was so excited to introduce Emmanuel to you. I didn't know that would be the last time seeing your beautiful face. The love you had for me and my children was unconditional, your kind heart is something that can never be replaced.
You never looked at me as Ada's best friend but a child that came from your own womb.
I will continue praying for you until we meet again sweet mother. Sleep well mama .
Broken hearted ,
Jubie .

TRIBUTE TO A LATE FRIEND : MRS THERESA ILOBA
(NEE 'BABY' KWAZU).
The news of Theresa's demise came to me as a rude shock as it was unexpected. It is therefore with a heavy heart and great emotion, that I write this tribute in her memory.
Theresa and I met at the University of Nigeria Nsukka where our husbands we're both lecturers at the institution. We got on very well at Nsukka and later moved to Onitsha in 1991 after the creation of Anambra state. We worked at the state education commission there (Onitsha Zonal Office) as local government supervisors of secondary Schools. On meeting Theresa, you will not fail to notice that she is a pretty elegant lady with prepossessing appearance. She was always cheerful, amiable, exuding warmth and friendliness. Anyone who came in contact with her, will not fail to recognise these sterling and unique qualities. A very adorable woman indeed.
As a mother, her love for her children, Nnamdi, Adaobi and Nmutaka was unparalleled. She was very caring, patient, tolerant and an understanding mother. She was an anchor to her children.
As a teacher and civil servant, she was very hardworking, diligent, honest, trustworthy, respectful and very accommodating. Baby, was very friendly, soft-spoken and enjoyed having friends and relations around. She saw something good in everyone and had a wonderful demeanor. She lived a good life worthy of emulation, and the Legacy she left behind will not die.
Your death at this time devastated your children, grandchildren relations and friends, as it came unexpected, despite your desire to live longer with them. I cannot easily forget her calls and words of consolation when I lost my husband. They were comforting and reassuring words from a good understanding friend.
Baby Kwazu, all that you left behind greatly mourn your death and will greatly miss you, especially Nmutaka and his family. The only consolation is that you will be in a better place, where there will be no more sickness, agony, wickedness, and sorrow.
May the almighty God receive your soul. May he comfort your children and their families. May they find consolation in your happy memories and the fortitude to bear your loss.
Adieu Theresa baby :
May your soul rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus. Amen.
Rest in perfect peace.
Je ije gi nke oma.
Your old friend
Nkolika Okafor (Mrs).

Theresa is one of my closest and dearest friends. She was one of our senior girls at Mater Amabilis Secondary School in Umuoji. Mrs. Bernadette Ifeandu nne. Mokwe connected me with girls from Anambra Division of Anambra State. From that time on, Theresa and I became close friends. We would meet again at the University of Nigeria. Her husband was my husband's lecturer and for the 10 years I worked at University of Nigeria, we forged a great friendship. She knew my children well as did I with her children.

Our friendship did not cease after we left Nigeria for America. Although we lost contact after leaving Nigeria, with Bernadette's help, I was able to reconnect with Theresa and we continued our friendship where we left off. I enjoyed our conversations and reminiscing of the good old days. Since we were both retired, we spent many days talking and texting in the recent years.

Around June, I called and texted many times with no response. After a while, Teresa's daughter, Adaobi, sent me a text saying that her mother was sick and had been admitted to the hospital and was recovering at home. I sent my regards and asked her to give my dear friend a message to call me.

A few weeks later, Theresa called me and updated me on her progress. She told me she had spent some time in rehab and would call me when she mustered enough energy to have a longer conversation. I continued calling and sending her texts without response.

On Monday July 26, 2020, I received a text that shattered me. I learned from Bernadette that Theresa had passed away. I was broken. I cried for a long time, mourning the loss of a great and dear friend.

I only have very fond memories of my dear friend Theresa and her passing has left a void in my heart. She was a kind and gentle soul. I miss her greatly each and every day. My sweet friend, I will always remember you until we meet again in the majestic Kingdom of Heaven.

Good bye my dear friend.

Aunt B,it is hard to believe that the angels have taken you home at a time we least expected. I Spoke to you over the phone 3weeks before your demise, I asked you how you were doing and you said thank God you are getting better by the day, little did I know that was going to be the last time I was going to hear from you. Aunt, I doubt if we will ever be able to get over the pains of your death. Tears would not let me pen down how amazing you were, you never ceased to check up on me and the kids weekly, I will never forget the advice and encouragement you gave to me. All I can say is we are heart broken, but we take solace in the fact that we know you are in a better place free from sickness and pain. Good bye darling Aunt. We miss you

I met this soft spoken and very easy going woman in 2012 when I visited my cousin, Mrs Bene Ifeandu, in Maryland. We became friends and kept in touch.
When she moved to Houston Texas, she inform me, I was excited that she was now closer to me. I planned visiting her, but for one reason or the other, the planned visits did not work out.
Anty B, as I fondly called her, was full of wisdom from life experiences, this she applied in giving advice/suggestions when problems/issues needed to be addressed. At times, I called Anty B just to listen to her speaking Aguleri dialect, each time, I felt as if I was in my hometown with similar language.
She never gave me reason to believe that she was very sick, and because she was soft spoken, I couldn’t dictate that from her voice each time we spoke. I became worried when calls to her wasn’t going through and I didn’t know anyone to ask what was going on, until I received an obituary message from her son.
I’ll miss you Anty B, I wish you a very safe journey to heaven where you will not experience any form of pain anymore.Rest In Peace.

Sweet mother when I stayed with you at University of Nsukka campus for my Primary and Secondary school life , you never one day beat or hurt me once. You took me as your first child, I never one day regret staying with you. Sweet Mother you are a mother indeed, so Gentle and kindness woman. May our Lord Jesus Christ open heaven for you. You are a mother indeed when I saw you in my dream I didn't know you were departing. I could have grabbed you, not to leave the World. We shall see each other in paradise. May your Gentle soul rest in Perfect Peace. Goodbye Sweet Mother. Obiageli Okafor Obey
