Still in our Hearts / 1st Anniversary

July 6, 1948 – February 9, 2016

Mum, it is now exactly one year since you left us to be with the Lord on that cold, rainy morning.

Over time, the pain of your absence has subsided with memories of you still in our hearts. There is not a single day that goes by that we do not think about you. Sometimes it is in the memory of something you said or when we simply remember the way you used to dress-up always turning heads wherever we went.

We treasure the time you shared with us. We will forever miss your love, wise counsel and tenacity in everything you did. Though life will never be the same without you; through your hardwork God has continued to provide and care for us faithfully.

We thank all our relatives and friends who stood with us during that trying time – your love and support as we planned to give Mum a decent send-off was appreciated. We however give a special mention to Aunty Silper Okore & family, Mr. Marcel Grossenbacher (Laratec Switzerland), Mr & Mrs. Joseph Wambua, Jennifer Wambua & family, Christine Ouko, Mum’s dear friend Martha Kwasa, Aunty Jane Achola & family, Mr & Mrs. Wycliffe Ogallo & family, Susan Awino Okoto, Mr & Mrs Sammy Okoth & family, Christine Okoth, Awala, Daniel Okoth, Belinda Kamar, Jeff & Linda (GNL Events Kisumu), Aunty Dorothy Agedo & Uncle Tajo, Mr & Mrs Robert Odette, Regina Kanyi, Titus Kibet (Rivatex), our neighbours at Mugoya South C, Mike Oriang’, Chief Nyamollo and all our Nyakach Jimo relatives, Mum’s relatives from Nyahera and Ahero, Susan Mzame (Rift Events Nakuru), staff at Equator Hospital with special mention of Sister Alice, Pastor Gordon Rogo and all our Trinity Chapel Kisumu members.

Mum you will be forever cherished by your loving children Crispin, Archie, Asenath and loving granddaughter Benita.

Peacock Jaber, rest in peace in God’s loving embrace till we meet again. Amen.

 

In Loving Memory of our Dear Mother

If flowers grow in heaven,

Lord, please pick a bunch for me.

Then place them in my Mother’s arms

and tell her they’re from me.

Tell her that I love and miss her

and she turns to smile,

place a kiss upon her cheek and hold

her for awhile

Remembering her is easy,

I do it everyday.

But there is an ache within my heart

That will never go away.

Mom, it has been five years since you left us. We miss you now, our hearts are sore. As time goes by, we miss you more.

We are remembering you on this day, and are trying to take comfort from so many memories. You are deeply missed by your loving husband, Bishop Joshua Chege Kahihia; your children Ellen Nyokabi, Miriam Wairimu, Lilian Wambui and Conor Burgess, Eunice Wambui and Thoya Karisa, Ruth Nyawira and Anthony Mberia; and grandchildren Andrew Jayden, Olivia Njeri, Alexander Mutugi, Henry Chege and Nia Kadzo.

We love and miss you.

In Loving Memory/ 1st Anniversary

Today, a year ago we pause and reflect, looking back with tender memories upon the path you trod, the many lessons you taught us and the many souls you touched.

Your life was a big blessing, your memory a treasure we will never forget. The pain and the despair which crept into our life and hearts when you suddenly left us, has been unbearable but God has provided us with steadfast strength and will to move on. We have learnt to accept God’s perfect will and our comfort is in knowing that our Dad is with God. Your kindness, love, generosity, hard work, voice and your big warm heart will forever be with us because your legacy will live forever Deeply missed and remembered by your wife, children, grandchildren, relatives and friends.

Prayers will be held on 11th February 2017 in his Matharu farm.

Loved ones never depart in God’s Hands and live in our hearts forever. Rev 14:13
