In his homily Reverend Father Jonathan Idiahe, who described late Princess Asetu Iwelomen as a peaceful woman who knows how to resolve issues, also said; "...whenever the Reverend Father came to give her communion, at a time when she was no longer able to attend church, her reverence and composure gave her away as a true Catholic to the core". Rev. Fr. Idiahe also added that; "... the way her children sang Catholic songs when I went to their home to bless their home, and the vibe that followed, I concluded expressly that this family is truly a Catholic family". 

"It is a good thing that Mama lived well. That is the most important thing. A life without Christ, is a wasted life. Our mother did not die, she is with the Lord. I know more about mama, hence I am able to talk more about her".
