“This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.” Psalms 119:50
In God’s hand you rest, in our hearts you live forever. Rest in eternal peace Mama Abby.
May Jehovah the God of all comfort be with Gathoni’s family in this hard time. Death is not His will as many say. On the contrary, He promises to resurrect our loved ones and get rid of death forever. (2 Cor. 1:3,4; Heb. 2:11; John 5:28,29; Rev. 21:3,4)
May God grant His peace and comfort to the family of Prof. Shitandi. May mum rest in peace. Amen

May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and thoughts. Philippians 4:7. Fare thee well Mama Abby. “Only a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footprints have left on our hearts”.
