The cruel hand of death has robbed us of such a beautiful soul. May God allow us to meet again on the great resurrection morning when we shall raise to sleep no more. To the Nyakundi family hold fast till Jesus comes, in the meantime trust in His grace which is sufficient and new every morning

There’s no love like a mother’s. Her heart is filled with care. A mother’s love is endless. When needed by her children, a mother’s love will shine. Mothers dedicate their lives to caring and providing for their children both physically and emotionally. They always seem to know how to help them to overcome problems and thrive in spite of them.

Some mothers-in-law are like actual mothers. Showering their daughter-in-law or son-in-law with immense love and care. Motherly love is irreplaceable, which makes losing her to death an incredibly painful experience.

You were the truest, dearest, mother-in-law I could ever have asked for. I called you a friend, adviser and also a mother.
You were a precious gift from God, So much beauty, grace, love and patience you possessed. You touched my heart in so many ways, your strength and smile even on dark days made me realize I had an angel beside me.
I will forever salute you, You were all I ever needed. God gave me the best mother-in-law in the world.
I miss you my dearest mother-in-law

Aunty, you were so dear to me. Through out my life, I have felt your love. Whenever we would meet, you would call me ‘mum’ as I was named after your mum. You were more than an aunt to me, you were like my second mum. It breaks my heart to write this. I will miss you so so much. I promise to hold your children’s hands ‘my sisters and brother’ as you would call me their small sister. You will live forever in my heart and I look forward to seeing you on that resurrection morning.
