Mama Martha Shiboko Khayumbi & Pius Ilabonga

In Loving Memory

1936 -21/02/2017 & 18/09/1958 – 28/02/2009

Mama, it is one year since our heavenly father called you home, where there is no more pain. Words cannot fully express what a blessing you were to us, or describe the emptiness your departure left. We thank God for the gift of your life, and for giving us the strength to celebrate you. We will forever treasure your positive influence, teachings, wise counsel and sense of humor, as well as the prayers, which have held us together. By God’s love and grace. we remain comforted. You are forever cherished and fondly missed by your loving husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, relatives and friends.

The family expresses our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our relatives, friends and colleagues in Kenya and USA for your prayers, messages of sympathy and encouragement, and support during the difficult time. We thank the Catholic Church, in particular; Musoli and Karen Parishes, for your prayers, spiritual nourishment and support.

Special thanks to Dr Odongo, the doctors and nurses of the Nairobi Hospital, led by Prof Macharia, who attended to Mama. It is impossible to thank every one individually, but please accept his message as our appreciation to you for standing with us.

A memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2018, from 9.00 am at her home at Busilwa/Irechero village, Mutaho Sub Location, Kakamega South Sub County.

“In God’s hands you rest, and in our hearts, you live forever”. Amen.
