While our lives will never be the same without our Mum and Cucu, we have been sustained by the unwavering love and comfort of the Lord.
We are eternally grateful for her intentional and prayerful life, the invaluable lessons she taught both inside and outside the classroom and her tireless intercession.

Her profound love for Christ continues to be the foundation that binds us. The life lessons she shared, the values she instilled and the immense love and generosity she so deeply expressed are a cherished gift we are passing down to her grandchildren.

We have truly experienced God’s abundance over the past year and remain steadfast in our faith.

The family extends gratitude for the continued support, prayers, home visits, calls, messages and kind gestures received over the past year and beyond.

As He continues to comfort us, may the Lord God Almighty cause his face to shine upon everyone who fondly remembers Nyina wa Karungu. May he answer you whenever you call upon His name.
