Rest in peace my sister and dear friend.
We’ve walked a good mile from your days in Murray Girls High School, Taita, and indeed you kept your promise to aim for the sky in academics.
Your sudden early demise is a blow to your family, friends and colleagues, and leaves an irreplaceable gap in all our lives.
From the Lord we come, and unto him is our ultimate return. May His name be praised.
May you rest in the arms of our father Abraham, as we find solace in the belief that to live in the hearts ofvthe ones left behind, is not to die.
Fare thee well, my sister. Shalom. Shalom. Shalom.
Very sad
