Early into my relationship with Sue Ann it became obvious to me that my future wife was extremely bright. Knowing Sue Ann's father was a gifted engineering professor I quipped to Mrs. Bulani whom I affectionately called Mrs. 'B' that Sue Ann had clearly inherited her brains from her dad.
It quickly became obvious that Sue Ann's mom didn't see things as clearly as I did.
'Oh really!' she sternly replied with hands on her hips and a dark stare I would see from time to time in the future whenever I again put my foot in my mouth.
Knowing I had to act fast I quickly added "and where she received her great looks," Pointing to my future mother-in-law.
"Good save George!" she laughed loudly and merrily. "I think you just might work out ok."
Well I'd like to think so.
May God bless you Mrs. 'B' my beautiful and very brainy Mother-in-law.

Dear Bulani family, I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Bulani when I worked with Phi in a couple of shows. She was so thrilled to see her son onstage and to meet me afterwards. My memory is of a very proud mother and a truly beautiful woman. My deepest sympathy for your great loss. Debra Hale

Our hearts go out to the entire Bulani family as you mourn the loss of Theresa. She was and will always be a light in the lives of each of you. It is said that: It matters not how long a life you lead, or of what you accumulate in your life, but rather what you bring to all those whose lives you touch. It matters not how full your cup becomes but rather whether you have emptied it fully in all your days gone by. I think it is fair to say that Theresa left with an empty cup - for so full did she fill the hearts of her children, of Walter her husband, and of her grandchildren that they have overflown. Though she will be sadly missed now and for days to come - she brought into this world a beautiful family for whom she has always been and will always be a ray of Light.

Gathering at Mrs. 'B.''s Table
Many many times over the years I've been present at the home of Mrs. Theresa Bulani or Mrs.'B'' for family get togethers and special occasions. She loved to be with family and friends and never failed to make people in her home feel at home. Indeed over the course of the last twenty years we have assembled in her home for holiday celebrations like Easter Christmas and Thanksgiving, Anniversaries, birthdays for grandchildren and children and parents and grandparents and many other get-togethers literally hundreds of times. At these events the food was always plentiful and delicious, the banter, laughter and debate thought provocative and memorable. The atmosphere of love friendship and endearment was something that would be hard to describe to anyone who has never experienced it and for those that have... an experience they will never forget. She was a wonderful mimic and often would imitate in a tasteful and often hilarious way just about anyone she chose including the voice and mannerisms of my own mother. It was uncanny.
She was also very musical and music was almost always heard in her home. She would often sing along with a voice that was clear and beautiful. Whether it was at her kitchen table, dining room table or coffee table, all were welcome....she had the gift of making one feel at ease and thanks to this remarkable and amazing person there are many folks on this earth today who have wonderful and loving memories of Mrs. 'B' and her amazing family.
And so Mrs.'B', we will let the music play on.........

Just a note express my sympathies to the family. It is never easy to lose a core and loved member of the family/team. I remember well our visit out to London and the fun we had. What a fun family time we had - over Christmas I remember with games for all to play. I never spent very much time with Auntie Terri but you always knew she was special and her love for her family was key. Our thoughts are with you. Glenda and Zan in Victoria.

Uncle Walter -
It's hard to convey sympathy appropriately, or well enough on such a personal loss as Auntie Terry's passing. Losing your life partner, mother of your children, girlfriend, someone you have shared so much with, has to be challenging for you. And for your family.
I have very positive memories of Auntie Terry. For me Auntie Terry came at me a little bit from left field. This would have been around the time you piled the family in the Ford and headed west to introduce them to your roots…… and relatives. I was just a kid and from my view Auntie Terry was someone special. Not like all of the other predictable moms I had known to date. Someone to appreciate but also someone to watch out for.
It was that hot summer when you all came to visit that I learned, among other things about table manners. Up to that time my table manners were limited to unsuccessfully keeping my elbows off the table. I can't imagine what she must have thought of us runny nose little heathens. Apparently there was much more to it than just elbows and she did her best to start with the basics to try to bring us up to a more acceptable standard. I learned that there was a certain way to set the table, Forks on the left, knife and spoon on the right, knife blade in. Completely unfamiliar territory for me but interesting and valuable information nevertheless. Another recollection was on that same trip and while at 3539 she was helping Mom / passing time by intently ironing a mountain of communal laundry. I sensed that she might have been a little bit nervous, maybe wanting to make a good impression I don't know, when she suddenly stopped and held up my perfectly ironed pyjama bottoms, burst out laughing and said something like….. what the heck am I ironing here…….pyjamas? Not like the other Moms, this one had opinions, and spark.
I didn't really get a chance to get to know Terry well but I did understand that she was someone special.
Health and happiness to you and your family. Please pass on a hello from me.
Love
Jim
