It is 15 years Since The Lord Took You To His Glory.

Baba we miss you dearly but thank God for the years we shared together. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow; no one will ever know what it meant to lose you.

With each passing year we have seen God’s light on our path guiding and protecting us.

You are not forgotten, Baba, nor shall you ever be. We will always hold you in our hearts; you will forever be part of us.

Always fondly remembered by your wife, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and members of your extended family.

`To be absent in the body is to be present with the creator’ 2nd Corinthians 5: verse 6

Charity Njeri Jerusa

Second Anniversary

May 13,1953 – January 6, 2015

In life we loved you dearly and still do. It broke our hearts to lose you and part of us went with you. You kept us peaceful memories and although we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain broke down and nothing is the same anymore but as God calls us, one by one our chain will link again.

We say there is a reason and time will heal, but neither the time nor season will ever change the way we feel for no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles or how many times we break down and cry.

We pray that the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear how much we love and miss you and wish you are here with us. Affectionately missed by your beloved children Geoffrey Mwangi, Grace Kimani, Damaris Muthoni, Catherine Wanjiru and Susan Njoki. Your in-laws Omar Swaleh, Charles Kosh and Anastasia Wanjiku. Your grandchildren Michael Brown, Hilda Kate, Charity Njeri, Eddy Mwangi, Charles Junior, Issa Omar, Charlene Moniq and Isaac Mwangi. There will be a celebratory mass on Saturday 7th January 2017 at 2pm by the graveside.

Eternal rest grant unto Charity, Oh Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace…Amen
