ODILIA C. ACHA-MORFAW TALIEH - Online Memorial Website

My beloved Aunty Odi ,you have left my life now, but will always remain in my heart.Will just so miss you. Rest with our Lord,  with Love and Tears...

I first met Antie O as most of us called her in 2002 when I came to the US. She accepted me as her family and that was it from then till now.  Prior to that  I knew about her because she sent gifts to my sister with whom I lived every now and then. She took us for dinner. She was as sweet and generous as she could be. She was the first to take me out to the resturant in this country. She kept saying"Antie I eat..." for that is how she decided to address me even though I was much youngerthan her. She showered me with gifts from Avon and told me I was welcome to her house any time. I remember going there like every two weeks if not more because she and my brother Nico Morfaw were like brother and sister. There was never a day I saw a frown on her face. She always had a smile and warmth each time I was there. Even the kids did not make her scream like most of us do when there are out of control. It never changed even when she went through these crazy battles years after years. I told her once that I wish I had one quarter of her strength. She did what she did best; she smile and giggled.
 
I have and will live forever with this one statement Antie O made to me:"Antie I if things don't move you move."This was when we talked about life chanllenges especially as a young girl with dreams and aspirations. Antie O believed in love ,peace and stress free life even when she could not enjoy them sometimes because of her chanllenges. I know in my heart that though she is gone and will be greatly missed, she is where she belongs: in Heaven with the Almighty and her beloved Parents Mami Emenkeng/Pa ache.

Rest in Perfect peace my beloved cousin Antie O. I love you
