In Loving Memory

Papa, it is one year today since you went home. We miss you so much, but you are in our thoughts and conversations and we know that “to live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die”. You live in our hearts.

The family would like to thank all the people who have walked this journey with us since the moment Mzee left us. We thank the medical practitioners who tried to save his life. We also thank friends, relatives and neighbours who have stood with us and supported us. We appreciate Mzee’s former students, friends and former colleagues who shared several humorous stories about him. We thank Pastor John Paul Mugendi for conducting a moving funeral service at AGC Good Shepherd Church, Nairobi and we are grateful to the Pastors who conducted the interment service at home.

We especially thank Chairman Joseph Ngeno, Francis Maritim, David Koske and Zakayo Langat who assisted us with funeral arrangements. We also thank Mr. J.S.T. Kamunchuluh for his newspaper tribute and we deeply appreciate Paul Kigen for his immense support. May God bless you all.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labours, for their deeds follow them!” Revelations 14; 13
