Since the day the skies turned grey, who would have thought it would be you to leave so soon?
Leaving behind the ones you love and memories so cherished.
We are sure you’ve gone to a better place — garnished with Angel wings, Halo and Harps.
Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you. All the fun and times we spent together.The laughter and smile you always gave, still fills our hearts with joy.
These are memories we cherish and hold so dear. Even though it’s hard to accept the fact that you’re gone, the distance between you and us is only… temporarily!
You are forever missed by your mum Samburu Odede, family, relatives and friends.
Rest in eternal peace ja Uyundo.
