Departed 14^th May 2010

Dear Mum

In Heaven

We sit here and ponder how very much

We’d like talk with you today

There are so many things

That we didn’t get to say.

We know how much you cared for us

And how much we cared for you

And each time that we think of you

We know you’ve missed us too.

An angel came and took you by the hand, and said

Your place was ready in Heaven, far above….

And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved

You had so much to live for, you had so much to do….

It still seems impossible that God was taking you,

And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it started anew

You’ll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you,

And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate

We are never far apart

For everytime we think of you

You’re right here deep within our hearts.

 

Philippians 3:20-21

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

In Loving Memory

Today marks the fifth year since you left us to be with our Lord. Days and weeks have gradually turned to months then five long years.

We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for the great love and comfort he has given us. But our dearest, you are still so alive and warm in our hearts as much as the pain and heartache still lingers on.

You are greatly and sorely missed by your wife, daughter, parents, siblings, family and friends.

 

 

It has been One year since our Patriach went to be with the Lord. Though missed he has left us with a legacy and sound heritage that we will continue to emulate.

Continue Resting in Peace

 

In Loving Memory

There was a time soon after you left that the world echoed with your absence.

The sorrow was unimaginable and we craved to hear your laughter, your sarcasm, wisdom and warmth. The world refused to move (and even now, sometimes it stops). We laboured with grief as months fell off calendars and then years followed and it felt surreal that the world was and would be without you.

It will be five years tomorrow (5^th May 2017) and your absence still echoes in our hearts. Your memories have turned into treasures now, and we cherish them. Even though grief comes alive every so often, we have learnt that our love for you has and will always remain the bedrock on which everything else that has come after you departure sits on.

Your friends and your family miss you so much. We know you are resting in peace and in the humour that we knew you for. From Symon, Melvine, Biko, Julius, June and Jim we love you, Ajim.

 May the good Lord keep your soul in eternal peace.

In Ever Loving Memory 2nd Anniversary

Losing a mother is a pain that cannot be described in words.

 

It is impossible to move on from the memory of the woman who sacrificed so much in her own life, so that we could all have a better life.

 

Your laughter, the beautiful memories of the times we spent

Together brings a smile, only until the moment when we are reminded that you are no longer here, then tears well in our eyes. We truly miss you!

 

Forever loved by your loving husband, Children and the entire family.

 

Rest in eternal peace Mama John! A mother’s love is truly irreplaceable.

 

For many years, long days and long nights, you bore pain with utmost courage and prayer.

One year ago today, God called you to rest in eternal glory. For us who sincerely loved you in life, we still love you the same in death.

We thank God for the years we shared and the wonderful legacy you left behind.

Fondly remembered by your husband Justice Mbogholi, sons Philip and John daughter Laura, grandson Andrew, friends and relatives.
