05/10/2020 at 23:40Dear Malcolm,
I am very saddened to hear the news about the passing on to Glory of your mother. Please accept heartfelt condolences from myself on the loss of your beloved mother.
You must celebrate her life as she had a good life.
I knew her as a very cheerful lady who put me to task whenever I was feeling low. She would never allowed me to wallow in self pity. Little did I know that she was fighting a battle of momentous propotions.
Indeed the loss of a loved parent leaves a great void in our lives. May God give you the courage to bear this great loss. You are in our prayers at this very trying moment in your lives. May the Good Lord rest her soul in eternal peace.

I am happy that you have entered rest where there is no more pain,no more medication, no more anxiety and uncertainty but still it hurts my dear friend cz I will no longer hear your sweet voice telling me “nakulove”.
Most exciting is that you knew and had a relationship with Christ.You have rested in perfect hands.It is a gain.
You fought well.You are a true warrior.
Thank you Malcom and Shiku you took very good care of our flower until the final bow.

06/10/2020 at 06:29Malcolm, the absence is so loud and pain in-comprehendable, but God understands and knew before it happened, He healed your Mum from the pain and agony of sickness and she is resting in eternal peace. I pray that God will give you the grace, strength and peace to go through this rough patch. You sure had great moments with your loving Mum and may those moments and God’s grace carry you through. Loosing a Mother is extremely painful but God will fill that void by wrapping His arms around you. For the family members may God uphold you and bind you all in his peace and love as He guides you through this and days to come, it is well. Shalom

06/10/2020 at 07:46Saddened by the death of a primary school classmate. Such a cheerful and brave character she was. She reached to my wife just last month to share the love of God but never disclosed of what she was going through. They shared the word of God and and remembered primary school life. To the family, you have been left by Cathy on a solid foundation. God has already taken over as the one in charge of your affairs now. Take heart. Rest in Perfect peace Wairimu

I will always remember how she would call me moses and cracking a joke about something but in all we thank God for her life and also for the joy she gave everyone around her.
I truly salute you for been with her every step of her treatment and never tiring at any one time and I pray that God gives you strength and to know that she has gone to a better place she is now among the angels. Cathy may you shine your way to heaven.
Catherine Macharia says
06/10/2020 at 09:57We met in 1998 and beside just connecting we shared a name. We have been friends thru, even during our trying times with my dad. You stood by us. You are one very brave gal that I admired and loved. We went places and got stuff together. Always with a smile. You did my hair and my daughter’s. You are an amazing gal. I will truly miss you Cathy. Rest well my sister.
To Malcolm: Your mom is a rare jewel. There is nothing we can tell you, to make you feel whole again. Only God can do it. May he fill your heart with peace and comfort. And walk with you during this difficult time.

Malcolm Muturi says
14/10/2020 at 07:00Ladies and gentlemen, sons and daughters of all ladies, I salute you all.
I’m grateful to be here to honour my mom and celebrate the gifts that she gave us all
As a parent, mom left nothing in the tank; she left it all on the floor. What my mom was to me was the inspiration that someone truly cared about how I lived and interacted with people, and as I knew her I wanted to be the best son that I could be. I took great pride as I got to know my mom, she knew how to get to you in a way that affects you personally. she always had a sense of love in a way she could bring the best out of you, she did that for me.
The thing about her is that we could talk anything related to life and family, I am inspired by what she has done and what she shared with us as a family I can’t wait to be a dad to a daughter to hug them and to see them grow just like you and bring the love and smiles you had, she taught me that, by just looking at the people here today, looking at how she responded and reacted to the people she actually loved these are the things we will continue to learn from mom. More importantly she was an amazing mother who dedicated herself to family and loved her friends and I think that’s what she would want from us to do.
No one knows how much time we have that’s why we must live in the moment we must enjoy the moment we must reach and see and spend as much time as we can with our families and friends and the people we absolutely love, to live in the moment means to enjoy each and every one we come in contact with. those are the memories that we have to live with and we learn from.
There are a few things, about three things to my account that I need each day.
One of them is something to look up too, another one is something to look forward to and the last one is someone to chase.
First of I want to thank God, because that’s who I look up too. He has graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hands or any human hand. He has shown me that it’s a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. When you got God you got a friend and that friend is you.
To my family, that’s what I look forward to. To my mother who I know is up there already making everyone smile with joy and laughter. To you Mum you taught me how to be a man and that giving back is the most rewarding act in human kind.
And to my hero that’s who I chase everyday. My hero is my mum and Ill forever be grateful to God for you. Our last name will mean something to this world you have my word.
Our last name mom will mean something to this world, you have my word and I know God will be there for me
Please rest in peace mom.
