Dearest Mama Kirigo,
You were more than an Auntie to us. Thank you for your guidance, for being a great friend and confidant to me over the years. I will hold all the wonderful memories we shared, deep in my heart. We love and miss you terribly. Rest in peace, Auntie ❤️
Dear Uncle Mike, Kirigo, Pam and Ciku,
I am so sorry for your loss. I’ll always remember the warmth Auntie had whenever she invited us to your home. She was like an Auntie and Cucu rolled into one person. I’ll miss her infectious laughter. May God rest her soul in eternal peace.
Dear Uncle Mike, Kirigo, Pam and Shiko, I cannot even begin to comprehend what you must be going through and I am so so sorry for your loss. I hope it brings comfort to know that although Aunty may no longer be with us, her kind heart and loving nature will always be remembered and felt by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you 🙏 May Aunty rest in peace ❤️ lots of love, Ulrika
