For those who have young kids, you'd also know her as the active grand-mum of Edward, who studies at Lourdes Convent (Std I). I spoke to Mrs Dias just last week, and was sorrowed to learn she had succumbed to a sudden heart attack. I knew her as Anthony's mum from my younger days in Britto's, and recently also interacted with the family after her daughter Stella happened to locate my address on the Net and sent in a message or two in the early days of the Internet in Goa (we have still to fully explore the potential of this medium specially in an out-migration state like ours).
Below is an excerpt from the obituary announcement in the local papers.
Teresa Dias (Arrarim-Saligao): beloved wife of late Edward Dias, mother/mother-in-law of Stella/Edward Martins (Canada) & Anthony/Ezilda, sister/sister-in-law of Damansio/Livy, late Bella, Patrick/Lucy (London), Celine/Atanasio Pinto (Bangalore), Pascoal Joao/Norah (USA) and gradnchildren. Passed away suddenly on July 14, 2005. Funeral date will be announced later.
Our condolences to the family. -FN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick Noronha (FN) Nr Convent Saligao 403511 GoaIndia Freelance Journalist P: 832-2409490 M: 9822122436 http://fn.swiki.net http://fn-floss.notlong.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://goabooks.swiki.net * Reviews of books on Goa... and more =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--W-E-B--S-I-T-E--=-=-=-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from Saligaonet | http://www.goacom.com/saligao_tinto/ ============================================================================ * Send e=mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (NOT saligaonet@goacom.com) * Leave SUBJECT blank <--- Commom Mistake !! * On first line of the BODY of your message, type: subscribe saligaonet YOUR.EMAIL OR unsubscribe saligaonet YOUR.EMAIL Questions/Problems?
