In Loving Memory

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal love leaves a memory no one can steal”

Four years have passed since you left us our hero, and though time marches on, the ache in our heart remains.

We miss your laugh, your presence, and the joy you brought into our lives. Remembering you fills us with both sorrow and the sweet comfort of knowing you’ll always be with us. Missed by your beautiful wife Jacinta Wanja, and your children Kenneth Mbugua, Joyce Michere (Toronto Canada), Rosemary Njuguna (Melbourne Australia) and Jane Wambui, your friends and many others.

There will be unveiling of the Cross on 6th August at Komothai near Nginduri Primary.

John 14:2 “In my father’s house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”

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

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

Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Dad

Fifteen year’s have passed since you left this earthly realm, yet your spirit remains alive within us guiding and comforting us in words we cannot express.

In our prayers and our quiet reflection we feel your energy surrounding us reminding us of the lessons you taught us and the values you upheld in business.

Thank you for being our guiding Star and our protector all the time.

Though we miss you deeply we are sure your soul is internally connected to us.
