Am truely shocked ked to learn about your demise my friend, my collage desk mate. I just woke up thinking about you and decided to look for you in social media. Too bad we never kept contact. The last time i saw you it was at JKIA and you told me your from the Mara for your honeymoon with Ambrose. Rest well my dear friend till we meet at Jesus feet.

Even if I never met her in real life I always thought about her and I have heard good things about her and she seems pretty nice to

Since 1997 when Deb and Ambrose got married they became my second parents and I literally spent all my spare time at their house in B8 and later A3.
I came to meet her siblings who were just as pretty as her and even though I was a young boy back then I could appreciate that beauty and brains ran in their family. Continue resting wherever you are I'm sure it's a sweet solace together with Madamsi, Roger and of course my Dad's friend Ambrose Otieno

For the short time i knew Debra, she was this pretty lady, so calm,warm smile on her face, focused and ambitious. She was a brave woman. Even after the husband's death, at her tender age, she maintained such a positive attitude in this very emotional and physically trying time. Her faith never wavered; it actually grew stronger. We thank God for the period she allowed us to be with her, May her soul rest in peace.

From soil we come to soil we go back to,
Deby when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling, You lived your life well ran a good race and fought a good fight till you went to be with the Lord.
Now you are the one smiling and every one is crying.
We loved you but a God loved you most

Deborah was such a jovial and a ever happy lady. The few moments I got to spend with you were just the best. The last time we spent together early this years was so full of motherly love and advices. It's so hard to let go but because the joy and happiness you brought into my life during the times we were together, I will accept your demise. Rest in peace till we meet again.

So unbelievable to hear of this news! Debbz, i know you were one girl alive and full of energy for like five people. Though now you are gone, i remain with memories of you at your house in Sony- how generous you were; on the road walking to and from church- when we got hit by a Sony Land rover and you were carrying your second baby Doll...this girl is a survivor and you escaped injuries; when i would make your hair till late and many many more! These will remain in my heart and mind- a memory of you in my life. I thank God for allowing me to know you, albeit briefly. The Lord will continually watch over Kate and Doll. Rest in Peace, Debbz.

To the entire Were family.

It is with deep shock that I have learnt of the death of my dear sister, friend, mentor, former employer Deborah Otieno (Mama Kate) She was my first employer back in Sony when she was the proprietor of DAC COMPUTERS, SARE. Through her I became a friend to most of her family members and more so her Mum who used to work at National Bank Awendo and later Kisumu. Even though we parted ways so may years back, Deb and I remained good friends and even later when we met again in Kisumu. She was very proud of me. Rest in Peace dear Deborah. You will forever be missed by me. I pray that our good God will take care of your two beautiful daughters. Till we meet again my friend.

MOM AND FRIEND

July 21, 2015

I’d like to honor my Aunt Deb with a brief reflection.

Words cannot capture the fullness of her life.. She was a cheerful, fun-loving, sincere, God fearing etc...list is endless person. Her smile could light up a room and it was infectious. She made everyone around her happy. Whether it was a funny joke or her positive attitude, she was a delight to be around.

I refer to her as mom because she played the mother figure at some point in my life and not only was she a mom but a very good friend who could offer a shoulder to lean on and wipe one's tears. she was one person who shared in sorrow and laughter. Aunt Deb was real.

The last time we spoke she told me ' Aloi' (like she fondly referred to me) lets love one another and be our brothers & sisters keeper. She also said there's nothing exciting in this world to do, we have done it all. Lets turn to God, Jehovah and do what pleases Him.

To my sisters Kate and Doll no words said or written will comfort you or make it better, CRY & cry it all out as much as you can I have been there I know how it feels, it's a wound that never heals, turn to God Almighty He is Amazing He does what no man can, He'll make it bearable for you.

To the family Mom, Dad, Sisters Brothers, In-laws and all relatives may our good Lord give you the courage to move on and comfort you.

To friends and everyone lets pray to God to forgive Aunty Deb her sins and allow her soul to RIP.

RIP IN PEACE MOM,OSIEPNA, AUNTY DEB

Deborah recently told me a story about when she had a first daughter Kate and I was the baby sitter. She mistakenly pulled down and broke a thermos flask even though everyone though it was me. We always made light of the incident and now it is my last memory of her. May she rest in eternal peace
