Our Great Appreciation

Sunrise April 22 1936 Sunrise April 20 2017

The family of Hon Kima wa Nyoike wish to express much appreciation to many friends and relatives who assisted the family in many ways, during the time when our Matriarch left us and went to be with the Lord in Heaven. To all of you, please accept our family’s indebtedness. We were overwhelmed by your love and actions.

In particular, we mention PCEA Church where Wairimu belonged and served in many capacities for many years. We wish to thank the Presbytery Moderator and his team for the labour of love shown during that sad period. We also send a big hug to Wairimu’s Macedonia Church in Athi River. They took care of us and guarded our home.

PCEA Woman’s Guild led by their National Guild Organiser, Mrs Veronica Muchiri, showed great love of their member. Praise be to God! Thank you sisters.

Daystar University led by the Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor assisted in many ways. Their tributes from local and overseas Daystar fraternity make unusually good reading. They expressed great appreciation of Mrs Wairimu Nyoike.

Youth For Christ International and YFC Kenya produced priceless tributes. They showed great appreciation for Wairimu’s over 25 years of service to Youth For Christ International.

Special thanks to the Nursing fraternity, working very closely with other medical professionals based at Kenyatta National Hospital. We must mention the Chair of Nursing Council of Kenya, the Chair of National Nurses Association and the Nurse Esther Kiragu and officials of the Nightingale Association who coordinated the beautiful uniformed Nurses tributes. We were overwhelmed. Posthumously, we acknowledge the poem read by Dr John Gatu. He and all of us did not know that Wairimu’s Memorial Service was Dr Gatu’s last function on earth. He died a few days later.

It would never have been possible without all of you. We simply love you and appreciate all of you.

To God be the Glory. Amen
