Francis Odwesso Ayimba

Today (November 12, 2016) painfully marks one year since you crossed over to eternity. It still feels like it all happened yesterday! Ever since you left, not a moment of time passes by without us thinking of you. We think of you when we have happy moments and we think of you when we are sad. We remember and cherish the good times we enjoyed with you, the lessons you taught us, the legacy of love and strong family values you instilled in us. Our hearts are ripped when we remember the golden person that you were and it crushes us to remember that you are gone. Gone from us. As a family we are comforted by the knowledge that you have found eternal rest and are now free from this mortal body that failed you. We are privileged to have had you as a pillar of strength in our lives, and you will forever be engraved in our hearts.
Sing with the angels, beloved Franja, till we meet again someday.
Fondly and affectionately remembered by your wife Norah (Nookie), children Dr Marsha, Kevo, Pato, your dad Solomon Ayimba, your brother and sisters, and your entire family.

Always in our Hearts

February 2, 1937 – November 13, 2006 

Papa, it’s now a decade since you parted from us, yet it seems like only yesterday.
Educating us and the strong values you imparted in us have kept a close-knit family and your legacy will live forever.
Some of your grandchildren are now grown and fondly recount the times you shared, BOSS.
When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper “Cheer up and carry on”. Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say, Don’t cry I am in God’s keeping, we’ll meet again some day.
Fondly remembered by your wife Margaret, children Peter, Serah, Allan and June, Judy and Edward, Emily and Azariah, Nick & Catherine, John, Mebo & Louis, Erick & Nancy, Steve & Brenda, Betty, Manaseh, grandchildren, brothers & sisters, friends & relatives.
Rest in peace papa. 
We thank God, upon every remembrance of you; Philippians 1:3
