Appreciation

We the Gikonyo family of Immaculate Njeri Gikonyo wish to thank the Almighty God for the gift of life that He allowed us to share with Immaculate who was promoted to glory on the 14th September 2019.

We wish to express our deepest heart appreciation to all those who stood with us, condoled with us and supported us through prayers, messages, resources and all other ways. In particular we wish to thank all those who joined us at the Montezuma Monalisa Funeral Home as we embarked on Imma’s final journey to Marmanet, those who attended the funeral meeting at United Kenya Club on Tuesday the 17th September 2019, the many families: the Kambo Njagis, the Kariring’as and the friends who travelled long distances to be at the burial, such was the love and support.

Special thanks to Dr. John Ngigi for the empathy and special considerations whilst Immaculate was a patient under his care. We are grateful to Nairobi West Hospital, particularly to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Renal Dialysis Unit. We shall eternally be grateful to Pastor John Ngugi of Redeemed Gospel Church, Nyahururu for the home visits and presiding over the funeral/burial service as per Imma’s wish. We thank the Bishops and Pastors of various denominations who attended the service in Imma’s honour. We acknowledge with gratitude the Catholic Church, OlJabet, the Parish Priest and CWA in offering the Holy Mass at the home.

We also thank the funeral committees both in Nairobi and Marmanet for the excellent planning, diligence and execution of duties that ensured a befitting send off.

As it is not possible to name all those who stood with us during this difficult period, please accept this, an acknowledgment of our deep appreciation.

Rest in the Lord Imma. Till we meet again.
