Loving Memory

1931 – 20^th March 1997

“Death is nothing at all… I have only slipped into the next room.

I am I and you are you …

Whatever we were to each other that we are still

Call me by my old familiar name,

speak to me in the easy way which you always used.

Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorry.

Laugh as we always laughed, at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, Smile, Think of me, Pray for me,

let my name be ever the household word that it always was.

Let it he spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely no unbroken continuity. What is this death but a neglible accident?

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval somewhere very near just around the corner.”

All is Well – Amen

Days, weeks, months have turned into 19 years.

Though you are physically gone,

our loving memories of you can never fade away.

We still highly cherish your strength, generosity and vision.

The Entire Kahama Family would like to extend its sincere thanks to all those who have generously offered their support from then up to now.

10^th Anniversary

Born: November, 1936 — Rested: 17 March, 2007

Our Beloved Dad, Ten years have passed by since we watched you leave us, to rest with the Lord. Our hearts still ache with the sadness of missing you. But the memories we treasure, reminds us that a part of you remains with us forever. Your humility, courage, integrity, hard-work and selfless love, we treasure with pride. If love alone could have saved you, you would still be here. Dad, you are in our hearts, in our thoughts, in our prayers forever.

Thank you for watching over us. We love you Dad. From your beloved wife, Martha. Your children: Mary & Musau, Grace, Martin & Anastasia, Sheila & Ngatia, Patricia & Kenny. Your grandchildren: Murugi, Rebecca, Muchiri, Mwikali, Makena, Victor, Wambui, Mugambi. Makayla, Muriuki and Michael.

Memorial mass will be held on Friday, March 17th 2017 at Holy Trinity Church, Kileleshwa at 6pm.

None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

Romans 14:7-9

 

Today (March 19, 2017) marks exactly two years since you sadly left us and got promotion to be with your maker in glory.

Though gone, we experience your incredible presence in our surroundings making your memory the most precious event in our lives.

A memorial service will be held at the home of Prof. Bethwell Allan Ogot today at 10am followed by a key-note address by Prof. Austin Bukenya of Makerere University on:

The Human Challenge In Grace Ogot’s Literary Works

You will be forever cherished by your husband Prof. Bethwell A. Ogot, children, grandchildren & great grandchildren.

 

In Loving Memory

1942 – 16^th March 2007

‘Silent is the voice we loved to hear; Too far away for sight or speech.

But not too far for thought to reach.

Sweet to remember him who once was here,

And who, though absent, is just as dear.’

It has been ten years of healing but God

has been faithful.

Remembered by adoring wife, children, grandchildren, larger family and friends.

Blessed are the dead in Christ…for their deeds will follow them. Rev 14:13

 

 

In Loving Memory

Sunrise : 15th August 1953 • Sunset : 14th March 2016

In loving memory of R.N.K Egessa, husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, and confidant. A precious gift, deeply devoted to God and family, strong, courageous, and full of humour. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. What we would give to hear your voice and see your face again.

Loved with a love beyond all telling. Missed with a grief beyond all tears.
