Rested in God’s perfect peace: 19th August 2022

It is three years since you held my hands firmly, refusing to let go. Little did I know that this would be the last time for both of us to look into each other’s eyes and understand the extent and gravity of our tacit communication. Yes, it is said that one moves on with time….but I disabuse this notion…. I will never move on…

I seem to be moving forward as I take on the challenges, embrace the opportunities…but move on…..I beg to differ. There are times that I want to share my feelings with you, I do still tell you though, but God knows, I miss your world-wise advice. I cherish the moments we shared and will be forever grateful for the time that God gave us to be together. The cover of the card that you sent me on one Valentine’s Day read: When think of those who have made a difference in my life. The inside read: I Think ofYou I value and still have on my bedside table, the ‘gift’ of a fallen bird’s feather that you picked up in our compound where you took walks with the resident nurse. I vividly recall my deep-seated love for you when, hesitantly you handed it to me and said: This is for you. You wondered whether I would appreciate it, but your doubt disappeared the moment I planted it in my hair and did a happy dance. PM, you helped many, without any reason and gave without the expectation of receiving anything in return. Your family and friends still speak highly of you and of how you impacted their lives. You remain forever alive in our hearts AMEN.

Your loving wife, partner, best friend forever, Eliza.

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

Your memory, a light that never fades. Your spirit lives on in our hearts. Dearly missed, fondly remembered.
