Rebecca Balongo

Appreciation

We, the family of the Late Rebecca Anyangu Balongo thank God for the time we shared with her on earth and the precious memories that we will forever cherish. We also wish to express our deep and sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support over the years, as mama fought cancer until the Lord called her home.

We would like to thank the Anglican communion in Kenya, The Provost of the All Saints Cathedral Nairobi, The Very Rev. Canon Sammy Wainaina and parishoners; the Bishop of Nambale and ACK Busibi Parish in Busia.

Sincere gratitude to the Mothers Union of Nairobi and Busia, Abasangafu Women’s group and Faith Women’s group; Bible Translation and Literacy; Bible Society of Kenya; The global community of friends in Kenya and Canada for their unique and unmatched support during this season.

The doctors and nurses at the Nairobi Hospital and the Ottawa Civic Hospital, Canada, gave mum unparalleled care. Kelly’s Funeral Home in Ottawa and Lee Funeral Home, Nairobi, served us professionally and with compassion. Special thanks to Dr. Radia, Dr. Asimba and Dr. Hall for walking with mum through the years.

Our heartfelt thanks to the funeral planning committee which went over and above the call of duty. As we may not be able to reach everyone personally, please accept our expression of sincere thanks. You shared our sorrow in a very real way and your kindness is more deeply appreciated than we can find words to express.

Thank you! Asanteni sana! Mutyo muno! Murio muno!

`We thank God upon every remembrance of you.’ Philippians 1:3.
