We, the family of the late Pauline Atieno Okech wish to thank God for the years He gave her to live and interact with us here on earth, We also wish to convey our sincere gratitude and appreciation to relatives, in-laws, friends, both committees in Nairobi and Rapogi, well-wishers and to all those who stood with us during the trying period when Pauline was in ICU, the fundraising and the final journey to lay our beloved Pauline to rest.

The overwhelming moral support you gave us through your prayers, messages of comfort and encouragement, your time commitment and financial contributions helped us to be strong and to give Pauline a dignified send off. We will forever be grateful.

We also wish to appreciate all the efforts made by Dr. J.A.Aluoch and his team of doctors, nurses and staff of the Nairobi Hospital. Our special thanks also go to the Chaplain of Nairobi Hospital who administered the last rites to Pauline, the Priests who conducted the requiem masses at Holy Trinity Catholic Church Kileleshwa and St. Monica Catholic Church Rapogi and the burial ceremony at the family farm in Kuna village. To the congregations and the wonderful choirs at Kileleshwa and Rapogi, thank you for your prayers and active participation at the requiem masses, ensuring we had a befitting farewell for our beloved Pauline.

To each one of you, accept our heartfelt gratitude for your invaluable support in every way.
