Zakia Awad Abdelmessieh

Zakia was a loving mother of Ramzy, Morris, Makram, Monira, Maryam and Mary, mother-in-law of Cronia, Azza, Girgis, Nagy and Safwat, and devoted grandmother of Philip, Monica, Raymond, Marina, Elizabeth, John and Mina. Zakia was a champion; not only was she the glue that kept the family together, she was a widow for 42 years and had to raise all of her children on her own. Mum, you did your job brilliantly and we couldn't have asked for more. Zakia was a very generous person to all her children and relatives in Australia and Egypt. It's now time for you to rest in peace and join your beloved husband, Ayad Mansour Essa. Until we meet again. Goodbye Mum.
