It is with sadness that I learned of your passing today while looking up information about your family. I remember with fondness growing up with your children in Kenyatta estate. You had a quiet and gentle charm that radiated to all your children. The last time I met your family was at the farewell for Joel on his departure in the 80s for further studies abroad.
You have gone to meet my mother and your friend with whom you were members of the women’s guild in the 60s.
May you rest in peace and pass our love to your departed husband Apollo Manyonge.
