Monica Wangui Njuguna

15th Anniversary / In Loving Memory

Mami, on that normal sunny Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 pm, a gloomy and sombre mood descended and engulfed the Njuguna’s, you breathed your last and left us. It is fifteen years today since that fateful day. We all knew it would come but we dreaded it. Since then. It has never been the same again. It has been painful, horror, empty, agonising and extremely lonely to all of us as we remember and relate the fond memories of your life with us and adjust to the cruel and stark reality that you are no longer with us. The only consolation which has kept us going is that we are sure you are in safe hands of our Lord in heaven and one day we shall reunite again. We continue to thank the Almighty God for the precious time we shared and spent together in this world and shall forever have those fond memories.

Mami, our eyes swell in tears as memories of your face shine upon us every day of our lives, your words of wisdom, your prayer to us on daily basis as a family and your Christian Virtues you so much adhered to and inculcated into us till your very last moments on earth continues to reverberate in our ears as if said or heard a second ago. No one can fill the gap that you left in our lives.

Mami, you are fondly remembered and dearly missed by your children, Esther Kiriga, Steven Njuguna, Linda Kinyua, Ann Kinyua, Linda Hartman and Paul Njuguna, your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, in-laws, relatives and friends.
