We do not need a special day, to bring you to our minds

The days we do not think of you are very hard to find

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still

What it meant to lose you nobody will ever know

Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one fill

In life we loved you, in death we love you still

Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the some

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again

We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will always

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

Fondly missed by all who called you Husband, Dad, Brother, Guka, Uncle, Friend and Mentor.

A life well lived

September 14th 1937 – January 26th 2009

A life well lived, is a precious gift, of hope, strength, love and grace, from a person who has made our world a brighter, better place. Though physically absent, you remain a strong presence in our lives, through the memories we carry, of the life we shared, filled with hope, joy, smiles and, occasionally, tears.

Your presence remains with us through the strong family ties that you built, and the many lasting  relationships that you formed, with friends and family who remain an integral part of our lives to this day.

You will forever remain in our hearts, through the good times and the laughter that we share, and through the support and love that you taught us to give to each other.

You left us a special gift., by teaching us how to live our lives well; by building us a strong, loving, and united family, and by building lasting, lifetime friendships built on trust.

You encouraged us to work hard and to aim high, and reminded us every day, to give back to the community and to the Country that raised us. You showed us how to face challenges together, and  you taught us how to love unconditionally, and to always value people above things.

Above all you left us the example of your own life, a life lived with a quiet dignity, grace, stoicisim, courage and humour, through good times and bad.

A Woman of Substance, you continue to guide us through the wonderful example that you set for all of us, and for the next generation.

As we mark ten years since you left us, you are greatly missed by all of your children, siblings, family and friends and by the grandchildren that you loved so dearly. Whilst we grieve your loss, we are comforted by our memories of the times we shared, and we treasure the values that you instilled in us. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

A life well lived is a legacy of joy and pride and pleasure, a loving, lasting memory our grateful hearts will always treasure.

Mummy, Dani, we remember you today, and we are thankful for the lifetime that you shared with us.

Keep resting with the angels.

On the 2nd Anniversary of the Day You Went Away Love lives on.

12/04/1959 – 25/01/2017

Mom – We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have now are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with whom we will never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, No one else can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, for a part of us went with you the day God took you home. Remembering you is easy, we do it every day, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again.

Dearly missed by your mother Jane Wanjiru Nduati, children; Tony Kuria, Irene Kuria, Jeniffer Nyaga, Angela Nyaga and Chris Nyaga. Daughter in law Monicah Wanjiru and granddaughter Tasha Wangari Kuria. You are also missed by the extended family, friends and the larger society you impacted.

In God’s hands you rest and in our hearts forever.
