Dear Lawrence, Family Members & Global Friends
Our heartfelt condolences to you and all your family members to hear of Dagmas demise which came as a great shock.
We were all shell shocked at this sad news as we all have lost a true great friend who has a heart of gold, most caring and was well dedicated to her teaching.
I have put together a special blogspot titled 'Dagma Memories' - blogspot name..... https://dagmamemories.blogspot.com which hosts photographs and some video clips good friends have kindly forwarded me.
This tribute is a special gift from Benny & Betty and I will soon update Dagma's blog with links and pictures running in sequential order. Take care.
Best regards
Benny & Betty

TRIBUTES TO DAGMA
In loving memory of Dagma by Leon D’penha
In the garden of the fleeting, where shadows softly play, Stood a soul, a gentle spirit Our dear Dagma’s way. With kindness woven through her heart, a light that brightly shone, She shared her wisdom, touched her heart, a light that brightly shone, she shared her wisdom touched our lives, never alone.
A teacher of compassion, she nurtured every seed, with patience in her laughter, she fulfilled her sacred need. Her lessons flowed like rivers, nourishing every shore, in the tapestry of our days, we are grateful evermore.
Too soon, the clock stopped ticking, as time released its claim, yet in the hearts she cherished,
Our love shall stay the same. For though the world feels colder, and tears may fall like rain, She dance now in heavenly field beyond our earthly pain.
Dagma, sweet and radiant, you’ve traded dusk for dawn, with wings of purest kindness, in the light you now are drawn. Though parting leaves us broken, in the stillness, hear the song. “The love we shared is timeless; in our hearts, you still belong.” Until we meet in gardens where every soul is free, know, dearest cousin, your spirit lives eternally. With every whispered memory, we’ll celebrate your grace, And though we miss your laughter, we find solace in this space.
So here to you sweet Dagma, with love that knows no end. A wonderful kind soul, a teacher, a true friend. In every heart you touched, your legacy will swell, Until we meet again, dear one- farewell. Dear Dagma farewell
With love Leon.
Tribute by Shaji
Hi Family and members, relatives and friends of Late Dagma teacher. Greeting to you all in the mighty name of loving Jesus. It is with heavy heart that I write few words about Dagma. Words cant describe how much we all regard her and miss her in the days to come. In the school at church and other venues, she knew how to keep the friendship warm and cordial. She will be fondly remembered by her students and colleagues in Indian school, Wadi kabir, Muscat sultanate of Oman. I am pretty sure she touched many lives in India. Oman and UK as a teacher and all are devastated to know her passing. We all know she was well loved and taken care of by Mr lawrence
And near and dear ones, thanks to all who was a good friend of Dagma. Personally I was expecting her visit with family to Oman sooner or later as she mentioned during her conversation. With a heavy heart I like to thank you and Mr lawrence for all the care and respect shown to me during these years. With prayers for the family and friends. Sincerely Shaji Samuel, Muscat Oman.
Tribute by Sister Lynette
I am thankful that you are my sister because you have blessed my life in so many ways. I was happy that I could share my retirement pictures and videos after my last working day 31st May 2024, you were overjoyed to know that I was given a beautiful farewell with sweet memories of my Company
We have shared so much though the years growing up and cried together over our sorrows, comforted and consoled each other in times of our need. I feel so blessed that I could speak to you on 7th June not knowing it would be my last to hear you
You are now united with Mum, Dad and Sister Cheryl who are waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome you with open arms another angel in heaven who will watch, guide over us. RIP
TRIBUTE BY CHRYSTABLE
Today we celebrate Dagma’s life, it’s heart-breaking to come to terms that you no longer are with us, forever in our spirit.
Being the cousin living downstairs, it was a blessing, incredible inspiration and full of unconditional love throughout my childhood.
I am grateful for the times spent together and most recently during Chryselle wedding and Aunty Gladys Funeral.
We shared good laughs, tears and created memories. Having moved to Dubai, Dagma only asked for Axe oil and tiger balm. I go to bed my eyes swelled up thinking of you, missing you, may you be guided by the Angel wings and hold us tight to accept your flight.
And love you Loads
CHRYSTABLE

Tribute by Audrey( Best Friend)
Dagma was truly kind and joyful person, always ready with a warm smile and a helping hand. Will forever cherish the memories we shared and the time spent together. Even though she was in Uk, it never felt like she was far away as we stayed in constant touch. We would always share our joys and sorrows and she always thought of me no matter what happened.
Though Dagma is no longer with us, the beautiful memories and the profound impact she had on our lives will remain forever. Dagma will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in our hearts always.
Tribute by Anne
Today we have gathered to honour the incredible life of Mrs Dagma Mascarenhas beloved wife of Lawrence and an extraordinary teacher, who left an indelible mark on the lives of everyone she touched. Her passing has left a gaping void in the lives of countless students, colleagues, and friends.
As a teacher, she was a shining example of dedication, patience and kindness.
As a wife she was faithful, efficient, loyal true and a worthy helpmate companion.
We will miss her infectious smile and laughter, unwavering optimism. But even in death, she continues to be a power source of love, the important of living life to the fullest, and the impact one person can have on the world. She was strong until the end never losing her faith even on some of the most painful days. Rest in peace dear Dagma beloved teacher, a loving wife and a beautiful human being. Your love, legacy and lessons will in our hearts and in the hearts of all those lives you touched. May your soul rest in eternal peace and may the Lord grant u special place in heaven
TRIBUTE BY LUIS Br in Law Sanfrancisco
I did not meet my sister in law Dagma in person but she kept on reminding me how the fly was worried about me. She was very patient and encouraging in listening to my adventures. She taught me how to use the WhatsApp app, caring and very thoughtful. She would ask me what’s for lunch and how to make tasty mouth-watering desert. She loved cooking and made good masala marinade for different food. Lawrence was lucky to enjoy her meal. She would send amazing greeting for new year, Christmas, Easter and birthdays. She has a funny bone in her and would come up with jokes, idioms, chicken dancing, laurel and hardy, one of her favourite song Jambalaya on the bayou. Very excited when she became a British citizen would tease me saying I’m coming to try different food and travel the world and empty my pockets. She could not travel due to health reasons. Now she is in heaven watching over us for our arrival. She was a great mentor and support. Thank you for being my mentor and support. goodbye sister May your soul Rest in peace.
