In loving memory of the late H.E Dr. Joyce Laboso Abonyo E.G.H.

Second Governor of Bomet County, Kenya

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

Dr Joseph Muhadia Imbunya

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.

In Loving Memory

Three years have passed since you were called, By Heaven’s gate, where angels stand enthralled. Yet here on Earth, your light remains,A sacred echo through joys and pains.

Beloved wife, and mother true, God’s grace still shines through all you do. Your spirit walks with us each day.A gentle guide along life’s way.

You taught us faith, you taught us prayer, To see God’s hand in everywhere. To serve the weak, to love the poor, To open wide compassion’s door,

We feel your presence when we kneel, In quiet moments where we heal. You urge us on, with hearts uplifted. To live with purpose, grace, and gifting.

Now robed in glory, crowned in light, You rest where there is no more night. Yet through our lives your truth will shine—A gift eternal, God’s design Forever held in God’s embrace, We see your love in every place You are our angel, Heaven-sent— A soul of faith, divinely lent

Margaret Njoki Karanja

In Loving Memory

The Karanja Karungu family humbly acknowledges the first anniversary of the
passing of our beloved matriarch, Margaret Njoki Karanja, who was called home on July 8, 2024.

Affectionately known as Maitu, Cucu, Maitu-Mukuru, Sister, Muiru, Friend and Teacher. Margaret lived a full and joyous 75 years, intentionally impacting countless lives. While our lives will never be the same without our Mum and Cucu, we have been sustained by the unwavering love and comfort of the Lord.
We are eternally grateful for her intentional and prayerful life, the invaluable lessons she taught both inside and outside the classroom and her tireless intercession.

Her profound love for Christ continues to be the foundation that binds us. The life lessons she shared, the values she instilled and the immense love and generosity she so deeply expressed are a cherished gift we are passing down to her grandchildren.

We have truly experienced God’s abundance over the past year and remain steadfast in our faith.

The family extends gratitude for the continued support, prayers, home visits, calls, messages and kind gestures received over the past year and beyond.

As He continues to comfort us, may the Lord God Almighty cause his face to shine upon everyone who fondly remembers Nyina wa Karungu. May he answer you whenever you call upon His name.

With gratitude,love and blessings,

Karungu, Wagema & Ngina, Pastor Wamaitha Wamz and our children

Dr. Angela Mocheche Masore

In Loving Memory

19th February 1996 – 3th July 2024

On this first anniversary of your end of earthly sojourn, though our hearts are still heavy with grief, we find strength in Christ who rescues us from being disconsolate to filling our hearts with the nostalgic memories of your enduring love for family and friends. We, and your late mum Rose Masore, would chuckle at how you would translate your meticulous knowledge of medicine to sheng’ at the dinner table.

Mochets, you showed us that true self-accomplishment is derived from selflessness anchored in Christ. Although called to the afterlife at such a young age, you have left a community that saw the hand of God through interaction with you. We shall forever remember you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, kept in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1:3-4

Love from Dad, Vini, Nina; Alex and Greg.

2nd Anniversary

Two years have passed since you left us for your heavenly abode, yet it seems just as yesterday. For us you were the light of our lives, a beacon of love, kindness and unwavering strength Not a day passes without us thinking of you and though time will soften the edges of our grief, the void you left in our hearts can never be filled.

As we remember you today, we reflect the countless beautiful memories we shared. Your gentle smile and comforting words are treasures we hold close to our hearts.

You are dearly missed by your husband, children, grandchildren, friends and relatives.

The family deeply appreciates the continued support and love received from the church, family members, friends and all our social welfare groups.

In Loving Memory

Five Years Without You

It’s been five years since you left us to be with the Lord, and not a day goes by that we don’t feel the weight of your absence.

You were more than a mother — you were our guide, our fiercest protector, and our greatest cheerleader. Your love was steady and always present. We miss your voice, your hugs, your timeless beauty, and your quiet strength. But we take comfort in knowing you are with our beloved father, the love of your life. Yours was a bond that taught us what true partnership looks like — rooted in love, respect, and shared purpose.

As a lifelong educator, you didn’t just teach in classrooms —you taught through how you lived: with grace, humility, and an unwavering belief in the power of kindness. You poured your heart into your siblings, in-laws, extended family, students, and community, always giving more than you took.

We carry you Mum in our hearts, in our choices, and in the way we are raising our children. We miss you, Mum. We always will, until we meet again.

Celebrating 82 Years Well

The 3 years we have been separated have indeed reinforced the fact that you still live on amongst us. Our thoughts of you are punctuated with so much pride and laughter. We hope that as you look down from heaven you are proud of us and who we have become.

Many are the times we relive your memories when we meet as family and phrases like, ‘liapana fikiri, ciana ngwaci kumuthi’ leave us all in stitches. This simply goes to show how you were a nice guy, Sam. This is why we decided to celebrate the legend that you are by the unveiling of your cross on the 29th of July 2017, at your farm in Embassy, Murang’a.

Always cherished in our hearts by your dear wife Maria, children Njoro and Stella, Ken Susan,Watty, Addy, Soxxy and Ciiku grandchildren Njeri,Tuma, Chui, Shigo,Wairimu and Ethan.
