How can it all be forgotten? Those moments when I rushed in (hospital or at home) and practically threw those frail babies in your arms in total panic and confussion? Those moments when I went across those doors to run my mouth the best I could to someone I know was a good listener? The good food and ''manjunga'' we shared during those moments, sipping each bit with so much laughter as the sea waves calmed or roared on us? How can those moments when the kids danced their ''best'' to impress in that living room as we watched them grow be forgotten? When that daring ant ran into my ear on that guava tree and I flew up to you screaming "take it out aboooooooooooo?" Your calm and peace within will be missed. Dear Abo, those beautiful moments and more will never die, they make the world a better place in our hearts...always. May you find more fun, calm, love, and peace in the Lord's bosom. RIP.

I have the feeling, am dreaming but the truth is that u have rested.

There is one thing that makes me feel comforted, You Made it, the children are up to the task.

Many will testify, the way you touched their lives, but the answer to death is still blowing in the wind.

Rest my beloved lady, Rest Mama T Tchwenk

Our sincere condolences to doctors family, doctor has taken care of us especially my son with asthma during our stay between 1996 and 2003 dec, I couldn't beleive when I saw the news in the net, now we live in Canada, what a great service to humanity, even late night or odd hours she used to see us at her residence on the ocean front , I am actually very fortunate to have met a great service oriented person. 

Mama,
What can I say.........I miss and love you so much.
I know and I am confident you are with God.. watching over us as always

She was a woman of character, exemplary and kind. I remember the broad smile she always had on her face to welcome me whenever I met her. The vacuum created by her departure will never be filled in the hearts of us all. My fervent prayer is that she finds peace in God's bosom. Mami, rest in peace!!!

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
