Don’t cry for me. I will be okay. Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay. Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong. I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don’t cry for me. It was just my time, but I will see you someday on the other side. Don’t cry for me. I am not alone. The angels are with me to welcome me home. Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear. All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears. Don’t cry for me. This is not the end. I’ll be waiting here for you when we meet again — Debora Garcia Gaitan.

May God bless you all.

On behalf of the entire El-Maawy & Jahadhmy families we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the President & his Government & all the Friends and well wishers for the love and support through the testing time of Mariam’s treatment & her eventual demise.

As a President HE Uhuru Kenyatta exuded to us his humility with his personal attentiveness towards her care. We believe that this has embedded our Presidents unquestionable commitment to his team and to the level of regard he has for the people of Lamu. A leaders quality is also shown by the quality of his team. We give special thanks to the COS Dr Joseph Kinyua for being a pillar of support with his exemplary humility and professionalism , the CS of Foreign Affairs Ms Amina Mohamed & CS Mr. Najib Balala for their personal touch with the family, Mariams CS Mr J. Macharia & her fellow PS Prof. PM Maringa and not least all the other PS and staff who gravitated their support around PS All Ismail, PS Zainab Hussein, PS Mwanamaka and PS Fatuma Hirsi. Mariam could not have wished for a better set of colleagues, for the love and support that they have shown for her.

A special thanks goes to the Min of Foreign Affairs senior staff & the Protocol team in Nairobi coordinated by Amb.Tom Amolo, and the High Commission in South Africa led by Amb Jean Kamau for their exemplary teamwork that made us thankful to be Kenyans.

Last but not least we thank all the people and friends who came out to support us who touched her life and whose lives she touched. Mariam had a life beyond family and work and the decision to bury her in Nairobi was informed by the realization that she grew to belong to Lamu people and many more beyond.
