Sunrise: 3rd July 1952 – Sunset: 2nd May 2020

The family of Mrs Irene Wanjiku Kabogo take this opportunity to thank our Almighty God for mum’s well lived life as wife, mother, grandmother, sibling, friend to many, and a bold soldier in God’s word. It was our privilege as her children and grandchildren to know her, love her and to be loved by her.

We want to thank the pastors at Christ is the Answer Ministries (CITAM), Valley Road who encouraged and prayed with us and for us. We sincerely express our heartfelt appreciation to the large number of relatives, colleagues, associates and friends who offered their time, service, financial, emotional and spiritual support to enable us to give mum a fitting and loving farewell.

We are particularly indebted to the doctors and nurses at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi and Avenue Homecare, Nairobi who provided care for our mum during her illness. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel.

It is impossible to thank everyone individually but please know that you are truly appreciated. May God richly bless you and favour you and your families.
