On 19/01/2023 hundreds of people came to the funeral of Teresa de Oliveira de Assunção, who in life was known to her friends as Toninha.
Dressed in black or dark clothes as is customary in our country. The community mourned the great loss and hugged together they cried. Even with the gray cold of that afternoon, nothing dissuaded the Angolans, family, and friends from
friends the final goodbye, and always to our sis Toninha. In the funeral ceremony of the present body, held at Holy Family Catholic Church, The Presbytery, Oxlow Ln, Dagenham, RM9 5XJ, from where the funeral cortege Marks Gate Cemetery, Whalebone Cemetery, Whalebone Ln N, Dagenham, Romford, RM6 5QX, people commented that the community had had once again lost a sister, a young woman with all to succeed in life without an applaudable justification. After the burial and already back to the same church hall, to take the kigila with a plate of food and refreshments, as a tradition refreshment, as tradition demands, one could feel an atmosphere of discontent due to the
sudden deaths in the Angolan community in the UK. According to the General Institute of Forensic Medicine legal medicine contacted by UARU, says many Angolans do not listen to their body their bodies or pay attention to the warning signs, thinking that a yearly visit to the GP already solves everything. The same institute highlights signs of sleeping stress and an inadequate diet as possible inadequate nutrition as possible
factors in these sudden deaths.
