Sister Dorothy,

Your passing away came as a big shock to us here in the United States of America. We remember the farewell we share with you and promise you that whenever we visit home, we will come and see you. We do remember every moment we spent with you here. Sister, we know where you are now in the kingdom of God. Please pray and remember us that are still here till we meet and part no more.

Dorothy, you were indeed and a true reflection of your name, "ifdeadigo." And you were always gracious in lighting the path of some of us who needed to be guided gently and unassumingly. I remember June 2010 when I first met you at Pacelli School for the Blind Lagos -- you were visiting home from the US. Within that short visit with you, I saw in you life, light and joy. Dorothy, you were simply and were someone who loved and appreciated life and shared life freely. Do rest peacefully in the Lord whom served and identified with so well. I offered Mass for you today...Happy birthday...Rest in peace and pray for us.

Ezinwannne m, so painful you are gone but I believe you are now with the Lord. Please continue to pray for us till we meet again to part no more. Enjoy your journey unto eternity!

Dordor, the light you shared never grew dim and now you are enjoying the eternal Light you were espoused to. As we gather for your vigil we also celebrate your 50th birthday which you are celebrating with your spouse. You will be forever missed but your light continues to shine. Adieu Sister Dorothy. Rest in perfect peace.

Dordor, you were a light where ever you were and I know you are now engulfed in the eternal Light whom you espoused to. We all saw it coming but never really believed it will be so soon. Today we gather for your vigil and to celebrate your fiftieth birthday. Enjoy your heavenly celebration and know that you will forever be missed. Adieu Dordor. We shall meet again in that beatific Light you now enjoy. Adieu

Ifeadigo, SR. That was the name I called you. That is how I shall remember you. The news of your passing saddened everyone who knew you. I don't think there is enough space here to describe what you meant to all who crossed path with you. But suffice it say like the Apostle Nathaniel, you had no pretension in you. What one saw was what they got: The real deal. Nothing more is required of anyone. We thank Almighty God for sharing your brief time here with us. We will all miss you. The children you've toched will miss you as well. Pray for us St. Dorothy. Amen.

dearest Ifeadigo,you have tried your best.May the light of God continue to shine on your kind and loving heart till we meet to part no more.Rest in the peace of Christ.Lots of love.miss you so much.Akubobo.

Rest in perfect Peace .

Dear Sr Dorothy,it is over for death and pains here on earth but marks the beginning of an endless bliss for you in the Great beyond. May the Light of Christ continue to shine on you forever in Mercy and Love. Rest in His Love and Peace, till we meet again.

Ifeadigo (Light is here)! You truly lived your name, Light is here! Your life of humility did indeed light up my life and I believe the lives of many whom Grace brought your way. Your courage and perseverance in facing life's trials remains a lesson for us all. Rest in that Lighter dearest Sister Dorothy.

Sister nwannemadu,
It is heartbreaking to learn that you have passed on. My Mom was filled with joy when you came visiting her with another Rev Sr some two years ago.She saw in you a joyful and humble person. When I visited your Mom later, I had so much fun being with her and your family. Though it was my first visit to your family house, I felt at home and I realized immediately where your humility and joyful radiance came from. I let your Mom and family know you were in good hands in Houston when she asked me about your condition.
Alas, we are all mortals and you have gone the way of all mortals. Rest in peace.

Dearest sister Dorothy, I count you lucky because you have persevered to the end as a handmaid. You are physically gone, but the image of your calm, gentle smile remains in my memory. Rest in peace my sister and may our Mama Mary the first hanmaid, present you to God.

Dora, although it seems like you are gone, but those we love never go away. They walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear! You will always remain in our memories, Ifeadigo! Nwanne mmadu!! Omalicha!!! You fought a good fight and left honorably. Rest in peace. We will always love and cherish your memories.

Dearest Sister Dora, we hold you close within our hearts even as you are gone. May God whom you loved and served so well reward you with Eternal life. Adieu Bride of Christ .

Dear Dorothy, it is like a bad dream. We love you so much, your generous self giving will be dreatly missed. Rest in the bosom of your beloved Jesus, till we meet again. You were a rear Gift and lived your name. Thank you. Farewell.
Emmanuella

Thank you for teaching me generosity and perseverance. You have persevered to the end. You longed very much to celebrate your 5oth birthday but even this you said "AS GOD WILLS". Do not worry, the celebration will be better where you are now. Thank you for dying a "Handmaid". I envy you. Pray for me.
Imaobong

May God grant you eternal rest dear Sister Dorothy. I will keep praying for you. Pray also for us...

Sr Dorothy, the life you lived was a perfect example of a true handmaid. Your perseverance, hope and faith are beyond admiration. Your smile and happiness even in the midst of pain touched my heart in an extraordinary way. Your generosity and kindness will forever be remembered and cherished. May you behold the beatific vision you longed for while on earth. I will truly miss you but my consolation is that you are with God, and no more pains. Adieu Sr. Dorothy.

Ifeadigo Onyiri onwu you did wonderfully well in handling that disease. You are an example for many to emulate. We miss your jokes and beautiful smile. You will remain evergreen in our minds. Adieu and may the angles smile at you as they welcome you in our lord and masters kingdom Amen.

You have fought a good fight what is remaining now is your reward in heaven. Dora nwam as i fondly call you, laa nke omma. It is well with your soul. Rest in peace. Amen. Bibiana C. Okoro.

My Golden, "The Only 97" You have fought the good fight to the end. Thank you for the great life you lived. You are such a strong woman, we are strong because of you. We will miss you dearly. Good my bro, good bye my Golden.
Rest in perfect peace.

Ifeadigo, the name you loved and lived as Light among us. Thank you for the bright light you shone and shared with us. May you enjoy the eternal light that never quenches in the heavenly bliss of your eternal reward. Adieu beloved Dorothy. You will be sorely missed.

On July 12, 2015 when we visited, you requested for a torch light to see us clearly. We spent the night with you.... Then you kept saying prayers of surrender 'Jesus I love you, all I have is yours... we joined you, then you kept repeating your favorite song to our Lady 'Odot ukpono, enye odot ukpono, enye odot ukpono, Virgin Mary Odot ukpono ke nsi nsi' You sang it so clearly that your kid sister Ifunanya must have wondered how you could sing efik song so wonderfully well. Virgin Mary must have welcomed you to heaven.
Pray for us, Pray for the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus especially this year of Consecrated life.
The Priest who celebrated Mass on the day of your departure said it is a rare privilege to die on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, the lady who announced the resurrection. May Jesus welcome and share His resurrection with you. Thank you for your special love for me, for our Congregation. May God rest your soul

Sr. Dorothy, You were a true light to many of us. Our hearts are filled with sadness and grief. Know that we love you and you'll be missed. May Christ who is light Himself receive your soul and bring you to God the father. Rest in peace Beloved Sister.

My dear beloved Sr. Ifeadigo, you are an "Angel of Light", the light that shines brightly when ever you enter a room. I will miss you greatly. 
I thank God for the opportunity to have shared life in community with you, You have touched my life, the life of so many people and have radiated God's light in many hearts, and homes. You always tell us in Sacramento Community that we need some reward at the end of the day's work because we have word hard by having recreation with some goodies, Now my beloved Ifeadigo, you have worked harder and now back home for your eternal reward. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. "You are the Handmaid of the Lord" Ifeadigo, You will be missed greatly, but remains ever green in my heart.

Since our meeting in 2009 at the Thrift shop in Houston, Texas, you never failed to smile over situations no matter how hard or sad. You even smiled over your sufferings and now still smiling in death. Keep the smile with Mary, the infant Jesus and all our departed...till we meet again...smilingly Martin Ahiaba
