From Susan Njeri
Almighty God, thank you for having given me such a good and caring brother. Its pain to loose you Ob’dear, but I thank God for once having given me you as my brother. Since I was young up until your passing on, you always took care of me as your small sis even though I had grown to a big mama with her own house and children. You always wanted to see me having the best of everything in life. Thank you for the way you natured and mentored me on accounting profession until l qualified.
My children will always remember how you showered them with dollies and toys, not once but many times. They will always miss the many calls they made to you as and when they wanted, just to tell you anything that they felt they wanted you to know. You were too close to them, and they were too close to you. We remember on 3/1/2021, when you come to stand in for Benja during his confirmation as a full member in our church as you were his Godparent together with her small sis Zawadi. Little did we know that, that would be our last day together. We thank God for your family, that you have left to us. They will delight us any time we
see and engage with them. We also thank God for your friends, whom you made to be our friends, while some become part of our famiy. We will always want to maintain the good relationships.
Thank you God for the way you overcome for my brother in many battles. Even overcoming the kidney disease that made him spend two Christmas (2013 & 2014) in hospitals.
God just receive him in your Holly hand and let him enjoy forever in your kingdom, with your angels and those whom we loved who went before us.
Rest in peace.
