1st Anniversary / Will always be missed

In our hearts, we think of you but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday and the day before that too.

We think of you in silence, and often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories and your beautiful picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts.

There we hold you close within and there you shall remain,

To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.

So rest in peace dear loved Mum and thanks for all you’ve done

We pray that God has given you, the crown you have truly won.

Because you fought for it, while on this world.

We believe that you’ve joined dad (Edward) and the others who had left us but here on earth you are dearly missed by your family, relatives and friends.

The mass will be held on the 26th of August 2017, at her home in Seme Sub County, Kombewa Division, Kasimori village, Nyatigo area and will be led by Father Kenneth of Reru Parish.
