25th Anniversary

Sunrise: 1930 – Sunset: 2001

25 years have passed since you left this world, and I remember you with a thankful heart.

Time has not erased you; it has clarified you. I have now lived more years without you than with you, yet so much of who I am has been shaped by the time we shared. Your voice echoes in my decisions, your values continue to guide me, and your love remains a quiet compass, even in uncertain times. I remember you not only as your child but as a parent. In raising my son, I see you more clearly. I understand your patience, love, your quiet sacrifices and even your worries. Your grandson knows you through stories and in the traits that have traveled through generations: hardwork, love, humility, strength, generosity, and moral courage.

We trust that you know you are remembered and loved, and that your legacy lives on in the way we try to live, forgive freely, and care for those around us.

Lovingly remembered by your daughter, Jackline Gathoni, and deeply revered by your grandson, Ethan Gitaka.

Dear Mummy, It has been one year since you left us, and yet it feels like only yesterday. It has been challenging to navigate life without you, but we accept God’s will.

We still hear your voice, feel the warmth of your smile and remain covered in your love. We continue to learn from the humility in how you lived your life, and your spirit of giving.We still marvel at the dedication with which you praised the Lord. Our hearts are full of thanksgiving knowing we were raised by an Angel, whose legacy is firmly imprinted in our hearts and minds.

We appreciate the many who showed up for you — those who prayed, visited, called, gave financial support and continue to walk with us today and the kindness we have received lightens the burden during this difficult time. We miss you deeply and will forever treasure your gift of enduring love.

Rest in eternal peace. Fondly missed by your children Sharon, Andia and Yolanda, your grandchildren, sons-in-law, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

In Loving Memory

The family of Lizzie Wanyoike lovingly shares the remembrance of a woman whose life was defined by visionary leadership, boundless generosity and unwavering strength.

It is difficult to imagine that two years have passed since we said goodbye to our beloved Matriarch. Yet, the sense of her presence remains with us every day. While time has softened the sharpness of our grief, it has not lessened the love we carry, nor has it reduced the immense space she holds in our hearts and lives.

Our Mum was the heart and foundation of our family—kind, compassionate and quietly strong. A devoted mother and mentor; she will always be remembered for her wisdom and her unshakable belief in the power of integrity. She had a unique way of making everyone feel valued, always putting family first and offering support without hesitation. She believed deeply in community, mentorship, and leaving the world better than she found it.

Her legacy lives on in the many lives she influenced, the opportunities she created, and the values she instilled in all who knew her.

Forever loved, deeply missed and always remembered by her children, family and friends. Our sister Lizzie Wanyoike was a remarkable down-to-earth woman of strength and an entrepreneur loved by all who knew her for her generosity and encouragement. She never believed in luck but hard work. Her focus was not to leave behind those with various challenges in life mentally and physically. She uplifted many lives. She believed in YES YOU CAN.

We will keep her in our hearts and celebrate her with love always

In Loving Memory

19th January 1993 – 8th January 2021

Fondly remembered by his father, mother, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, colleagues, neighbors and friends.

Five years have passed since you were suddenly plucked from us. We thought of you today as we did yesterday, the days before and the days to come. Our hearts ache and the tears and sadness just won’t stop flowing.

To your siblings you were the true loving brother, understanding, supportive, bright light and patient.

Son, though not physically with us, you will always live in each one of our hearts. For we know that what we enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us. It is more painful when the cause of your death stilt remains a mystery.

Those we dearly love remain with us, for love itself lives on and cherished memories never fade because a loved one has gone. Your death is an immeasurable loss to the family. But by the grace of God the family continues to stand.

You were a great unwavering reliable soul, and a blessing to us. Your signature laughter still rings in our ears and hearts.

John 16:12 Therefore, you have grief now, but will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

 

Earthly Sunrise: 20th May 1922 – Earthly Sunset: 19th December 2024

It has been 365 days since God called you home. You lifted your hands to heaven with peaceful acceptance and a gentle smile. God, your Maker, your Father, your Friend embraced you and took you home. 102 years God gave you on this earth and you lived with a grateful heart, a kind spirit and quick wit. What a wonder you were, a testimony that those who trust in the LORD shall, renew their strength, mount up on wings like eagles, walk and not be faint.

You walked with God and your spirit was never faint, in fact, by God’s hand you were ever hopeful, ever tenacious, ever loving. You were ready to do the LORD’s work even in your old age. Your faith in God was unwavering. A blessed man who delighted in the things of God. You ran your race with humility and an unquenchable fire born of the Holy spirit and we still see the light burning. The echoes of your life still ring true in the words you spoke, the things you did, and the state of your heart.

102 years were not enough for us who love you and miss you, but because you accepted God’s will, we accept it. “Wele kambolele, kimiaka kino kia nyalile” you said with a smile.

Until we meet again, we will run this race and follow Jesus Christ Whom you loved with all your heart. Always remembered, Always Cherished! We will miss you always! RIP

John 10:27-28 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

A DECADE OF MISSING YOU, A LIFETIME OF LOVING YOU

Its ten years since that Monday morning, 14TH December 2015, when life quietly split into “before” and “after “Ten years since we received the news that reshaped our world in ways we could never have prepared for.

A decade later, grief has changed shape. It is no longer the loud, choking storm it once was. it has softened into a quiet ache , a gentle tug at the heart when a song you loved plays, when a memory surfaces unexpectedly, when we catch glimpses of you in the small habits we inherited without noticing.

Though time has continued its steady march, the place you held in our lives remains tender and unchanged.Your kindness, your steady presence, your quiet strength, and the love you poured into us still simmers gently in our hearts. We carry your lessons in how we work, how we keep family close, how we love, how we persevere.

In these ten years, the family has grown in number, in love, and in strength.

Today, we honour you with gratitude, not sorrow; with celebration, not despair.Though we miss you more than words can express, we are comforted knowing you rest in God’s eternal peace.

Forever in our hearts Dad. From your loving wife -Mukonyo; Your dear children -Wanjiku, Kinuthia, Wambui and Muli. And your grandsons! Mesta, Gee, Gatheru, Manzi, Kabata and Kiuna.
