In Loving Memory/1st Anniversary

13th July 2014 to 11th August 2024

It is exactly one year today since God invited you to the heavenly Kingdom.. Our eyes still rolling with tears over losing you, so suddenly but we thank God for sustaining us through the past year No single day passes without us thinking about you.

Fondly and affectionately remembered by and missed by your Dad Peter Kahora,  Mum Susan Wairimu, brothers Kelvin and Jayden, uncle Kirima and all school mates and relatives who stood with us during that moment.

Mary Ann, when we count our blessings we count you you are our star. In God’s hands you rest, in our hearts you remain forever, you are one in a million and irreplaceable, your memory will never die, you will forever live in our hearts. Rest in peace Mary Ann until we meet again. In these things we are more than conquerors, through him who loved us For I’m convinced that neither death nor life, nor things present, nor things to come, nor power, nor height, nor anything else, in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our lord.

Roman 8:31 “Those who blossom in the hearts of others never fade away”

 

In Loving Memory /2nd Anniversary

Two years ago, you quietly stepped into eternity, yet not a day passes without your memory lighting our path. You were far more than any title could ever express: a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a faithful servant of God, a true shepherd to your flock and the heart of our family. You lived gently, yet with great strength. You spoke softly, yet with deep wisdom. You served humbly, yet your impact endures.

Your prayers still echo in our hearts. Your legacy continues to guide and inspire us. Your life was a sermon, not preached from the pulpit alone, but lived out in faith, kindness, and grace. Though we miss you dearly, we find comfort in knowing you now rest in the arms of the One you served so faithfully. As William Shakespeare so beautifully wrote: “And when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night.”

You are deeply missed. You are deeply loved. You are forever ours. Forever loved by your devoted wife Grace Karoki, loving children Joseph Ngugi & Esther, Sylvia Nyambura, Eunice Mumbi, Edward Gachihi, and Alex Muriithi,your grandchildren Precious,Amber, Kelsie, Karoki, and Alexander.

Your memory lives on, forever in our hearts — from your loving family, “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.” — I Thessalonians 4:14

Commemorating Her 6th Anniversary – 29th July 2025

Six years have passed since you left us, yet your spirit remains a cherished presence in our hearts and in the lives you touched. You were not only our beloved mother and wife—you were a leader, a mentor, and a radiant force of love and grace.

Your commitment to service was matched only by your tenderness at home. In public life, you led with conviction, dignity, and vision: in private, you nurtured with warmth, wisdom, and humour. You taught us that compassion is power, and strength is found in gentleness.

Every laugh you shared, every word of encouragement, every moment of quiet strength still echoes in our lives. Your legacy lives in the values we uphold, the love we share, and the memories we treasure.

We remember you not with sorrow, but with gratitude and pride. The garden you planted continues to bloom –its roots deep, its fragrance enduring.
Forever loved. Forever missed.

With heartfelt remembrance, The Abonyo Family Edwin, Bryan,Ted, Mina & Marco

Poem: “Still She Blooms”
In morning hush and evening skies, Your memory lifts where dreams arise. A voice once near, still gently calls, In silent echoes through these halls.
You bloomed with grace, a steady flame, A heart that gave, a trusted name. Though time may pass, It cannot steal The love we hold, the strength we feel.
Your legacy, a golden thread, Wove” in every life you led. From fields of hope to justice halls, You stood for truth, you answered calls.

So here we stand, your children proud, Beneath your light, beyond the cloud. And in each dawn, in each life grown– You bloom again, in us, you’ve sown

23/05/1964 – 29/7/2021

4 Years on!

Darling Joe! It has been four years since I held your hand in mine. On 29:07 2021 you closed your eyes on us, never to open them again. The four years without you have been the longest, toughest and saddest.

Your tragic demise is still as traumatic & haunting for me your wife & our two sons. it is difficult to see beyond our grief. Hence no amount of time can heal the sorrow of your passing.

You empowered us so much but never taught us how to live without you. Losing you has been tormenting, learning to live without you has been harder.
In your life time you touched so many lives In your death many lives were changed. We dreamt of living a long life together. This dream was shattered. I cannot get over the pain of losing you

Joe I cannot express the hollowness our two sons feel everyday without you in their lives.You broke their hearts.

Some day Joe my soul shall find yours!

Dearly missed by your treasured,cherished & loving wife Dr Jane Kere lmbunya. Your adorable & beloved sons Harkins & Bramwel Imbunya, Your doting grandson Joe Junior Muhadia Imbunya aka *JJ*. The larger families of the Late Pastor MeshackYahuma Imbunya (Tiriki – Kaimosi: Vihiga) & Eng. James Kere Musambaih (lsukha- lbukhulunya: Kakamega), all other relatives, our many friends & the Great Botswana.

Joe, may the Heavens be kind to you
