Mami Therie joined the staff of Seat of Wisdom College about 1978 where we were students and adopted me as her son. I spent many outings in her home which was not far from campus where se served me delicious meals and even brought some to me and my friends on campus. When she met my birth mother, they became good friends, which further cemented our relationship. When she retired and joined us in the United States the bonds grew even stronger.
All these years, Mami Therie has showered us with her boundless love. Her calm and gentle demeanor, her unreserved smiles and wise counsel shrouded her with sweet grace. Mama's passing came barely 3 weeks after I lost my birth mother, her friend, Mama Atem, and this has greatly compounded my grief. Even as weep, St Paul reminds us in 1 Thess. 4:13-18 not to grief as those without hope.
May Mami Therie be wrapped in our Lord's loving embrace.

Mamie There, as I usually called you. I do not know where to start. As I am writing this message with tears in my eyes, the first day you saw me when I got married to your son Chief Fominka, you took me as your own daughter. I remember when I got married before I ever met you, your son told me that he has his mother that I will take care of her the same way I will do with my mother in-law and that she is the mother who raised him; that was you Mamie There. Just as your son's words to me concerning you, you really showed me the love of a real mother. Our children to you were your grandchildren and you always wanted them to be by your side telling me every time you want to see the children and I will drive them to spend the day with you because spending just a couple of hours will make you mad. Wehhhh Mamie There, as I cry I will miss all these!! I no longer considered you as a mother in-law but as my own mother. You did not show any difference in the way you cared for your son and I. Mamie There, Chief's mother left a couple of years ago and I knew I had you. Now you are gone also leaving your son and I orphans but God knows best. Mamie There, you are in a better place and I know your ever lasting love for us is continuing wherever you are. May your Gentle Soul Rest In Perfect Peace. I love you Mamie There!

My deepest sympathy. My heart goes to my sister Margaret Morfaw and family in this challenging moment. Mami was a great mom to anyone who crossed her path and she will never be forgotten. Her legacy reigns forever. Mama continue to RIP with the heavenly angels. I know you are jumping from starts to stars and watching over us.

I join the entire Morfaw in praying for the repose of the soul of Mami Theresa A. Morfaw. May the good Lord have mercy on her and protect the family she has left behind.

Chief Fominka Njinju III Tribute to mami Theresia Morfaw part II . She showed my children lots of love and she would be very delighted whenever we visited her in Delaware. She considered my wife as one of her daughters in-law and they had a very cordial relationship. I do not think that I will ever have the right words to express the love she had for my family and I. Whenever I spoke to her, it would be so reassuring that it would help calm all the anxiety that she had had before the conversation. Mami Theresia, we are so indebted to you. We couldn't repay you because no child has ever been able to repay their parents for all what they did for them and this , because they can not just afford it . Mami Theresia, I have no doubt of your whereabouts. I know that you have gone to meet your Creator. I equally know that you are looking after us from above. My family and I miss you . You are gone but your legacy lives on . With love , adieux mama , your son , chief Fominka Njinju III

May she Rest In Peace. So very sorry for your loss

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
