In Memory

Sunset: 28th March 2019

It has been 365 days, several happy moments, countless tears since you left us. We have had the strength and courage to live through it all without you, because of the faith and trust in God you instilled in us. It’s been one year without you physically with us, but we have felt your presence through it all. We have carried on with the work you started, we have made sure to follow your ever-present advice and we have come to understand the gravity of the words you spoke just yesterday to us. Let me tell you, while you are up above with the angels, in our hearts your memories linger, your smile lingers, your words of wisdom keep ringing and sounding true; there’s not a day we don’t think of you. With every new day, we miss and love you more than yesterday. We all feel your love in our hearts from Heaven above where you are.

Today, you are lovingly remembered by your children Mwihaki, Kigo, Wairimu, Ngunyi and your son in law Danny and your S grandchildren. Affectionately remembered by your Sisters Wambura, Wanjiku, Muthoni and brother Gikonyo. Brothers in law Kimita and Mwangi.

In commemorating this first year, we also would like to thank your Doctors and team of nurses at Nairobi Hospital who were led by Dr. David Silverstein, they gave us the energy to carry on. We wish to acknowledge our other mum Mama Willy who tirelessly took care of you all through your illness. She was a pillar of hope on our very worst of days. Our family in Busia led by Mama Dora and Mzee Okwaro and friends Jane, Gitonga and Mburu for being there at our hour of need. The Spiritual support of Bishop Wainana of Emmanuel Worldwide Ministries who showed mum love, kindness, encouragement and prayed with her all through her illness and upon her demise. We would also want to recognize the moral and financial support provided by the Ministry of Interior.

Mum we see God’s blessings always through you. Your unique words of wisdom, your discipline and actions is what keeps us going in this world.

Mum, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure; you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

In Loving Memory

One year ago, you departed from this world. There is not a day that has gone by without us thinking of you. Some moments have been extremely low as we have tried to understand why you had to leave us. At other moments, we have remembered that you had been unwell and that perhaps you needed to rest.

From Elsie, Warren and Gabby; we deeply miss you mum. We are still lost a year after your departure and while we know that the void left by a loving mom can never be filled, we are grateful that dad has been our anchor in many ways.

From Mom and Penny; we have only been able to rise daily in the knowledge that you are in a better place with the Lord; that you no longer feel the pain and the uncertainties of this life. We soldier on greatly comforted by the knowledge that we were very lucky to have you.

We deeply appreciate all the support from our families and friends including the Kogi family, Mungatana family, Chege family, Mugambi family, Mary (mama Kirundi) family and all the dedicated friends who travelled to Ngao with us to lay Violet to rest. We would also like to thank Violet’s work colleagues, Nairobi Primary School Alumni (Class of ’86), Kenya High School alumni (Class of 1990), University of Nairobi Law School Alumni (Class of 1996), Parklands Baptist Church – North Gate, friends and neighbours at Edenville Kiambu, CITAM Church ,AIC Church in Ngao as well as CCI Church in South Bend, USA. Please receive all our immense gratitude for the incredible support you extended towards us.

For we love you, you will never truly leave us. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

 “That man is a success -who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children, who has filled his niche and accomplished his task, who leaves the world better than he found it, who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it, who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.” Unknown
