Rose, you were a true, faithful, caring and supportive to me. We worked together so well at Loreto High School, Limuru from 2001-2004 when I was the principal. We continued working together in so many ways. Thank you for giving Sharon hope by sponsoring her education. You are the epitome of peace and humility. I will miss you dearly but know that your life of simplicity taught me to give no matter the cost. I will miss you but I am happy for deep down in my heart I know that you are resting peacefully in God’s loving arms.
It is well, my dear friend, it is well with your soul.
Ngina, you were a dear desk-mate and study buddy in Form 3-4 at Loreto High School Limuru. Who can ever forget sister Theresa’s Maths class!!. I will always remember your humility and especially your kindness to me. I’m thrilled that you became a patron of our beloved high school, a kind and a doting mom, grandma, aunt, and be so very loved. I haven’t seen you lately but your picture says it all: poise, grace and beauty. Rest well dear friend under the loving care of the almighty..
