We continue to uphold each and every one of you in prayers and thoughts and ask God to give you the emotional strength to deal with the void the absence of Mama will cause.
Mama lived a good life and leaves a leagacy that you all need to carry on. She lived life on her own terms and enjoyed all she did to the fullest.
In carrying on her leagacy you can each live your best life in memory of her.
I know she loved you all very dearly like you all loved her too. I have always admired the relationship she had with her daughter in law Olive.
To Olive: I know you loved your mother in law like a daughter loves a mother and that was always admirable. God bless your heart for the love and care you have always shown her. I know you were very special to her as well so I know now that she is in heaven she will share those memories with her husband and Maria and all the angels and saints she meets. She will want everyone to know what an awesome life she had with family and friends who loved her.
Mama. You lived a great life. Now is your time. Rest in Peace. Glad that I met you. God blessings upon all your family members and the friends that will all miss you. RIP
Our deepest sympathies to Ronnie, Bosco, Jennifer, Hazel, Olive, Stefanie, Darrell, Jonathan and to our beloved Kaylee great-grand daughter whom you cherished and teased mercifully. Mama, as the latest addition to your family you made us welcome and your generosity knew no bounds. You continued to amaze me at your age how you cared, cooked and kept house for your children; you made time to stay in touch with family and extended family; you remembered our birthdays, anniversaries as well Mother’s day and Father’s day. You will be missed and we will continue to hold you in our prays. Rest in Peace Mama and thank-you for the warm welcome.

On behalf of the Kantaria family this is to express our sincere condolences to the family (Ronnie, Bosco (Olive), Jennifer and Hazel for the loss of Mrs. Mendonca.
She was a jolly and kind person, a motherly figure we used to look up to when we went to the office at E. Auto Spares, as children. I recall when at the age of 12 I had managed to staple my two thumbs together whilst playing with the auto-stapler, she undid the damage! She will be fondly remembered by us all – Sejal, myself, Samir, Bela, Sonal and Mala!
