In Loving Memory

19th February 1996 – 3th July 2024

On this first anniversary of your end of earthly sojourn, though our hearts are still heavy with grief, we find strength in Christ who rescues us from being disconsolate to filling our hearts with the nostalgic memories of your enduring love for family and friends. We, and your late mum Rose Masore, would chuckle at how you would translate your meticulous knowledge of medicine to sheng’ at the dinner table.

Mochets, you showed us that true self-accomplishment is derived from selflessness anchored in Christ. Although called to the afterlife at such a young age, you have left a community that saw the hand of God through interaction with you. We shall forever remember you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, kept in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1:3-4

Love from Dad, Vini, Nina; Alex and Greg.
