I have received with immense sadness the news of the passing of Mrs Theresa Aba Kufuor, former First Lady of the Republic of Ghana.
Auntie Theresa as we affectionately called her, was a mother to all. Always ready with a kind word of wise counsel, Auntie Theresa opened her heart and home to all. She took me in as a son and on countless occasions I enjoyed her culinary skills.
The Joyous expression on her face that memorable night in Tokyo during TICAD 3 will forever remain with me. Auntie Theresa will be sorely missed by my wife Lawrencia and our kids. Auntie Aba is gone with her warmth, grace and kindness.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
My deepest condolences go to my boss HE President John Agyekum Kufuor and the whole family.
