You know you and your family are in my prayers. I can't say that I know exactly what you are feeling right now because that was your brother with whom you have special memories and a special relationship. I know when my brother passed it was a pain greater than I could have ever imagined. The bonds of siblings tend to be stronger than we often time acknowledge.
I actually expressed in my mind that I didn't think I could smile again, but with the counseling of God's Spirit I not only smiled, but laughed again. As you go through your personal grief, know that I'm praying for and with you.
My deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family during this time.
Love you my brother,

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. May Lord rest his soul in peace and those left behind continue to find comfort in Lord. It is a touching letter too. As you prepare to take him in his final journey, be strong for him and those close ones he has left behind.

what a sad day. I am so sorry for your loss.
There are angels that live among us and to measure them and their actions through earthly eyes and standards never works. They just live in a way that puzzle, but in retrospect, when they are gone, we know for sure the wisdom, the courage, the love and the strength they truly possessed. Your Oldest Brother was indeed such an angel who taught those around him with his life and provoked so many feelings in people that observed him and everyone that experienced him is truly richer for it today whether they acknowledge it or not.
May he rest in peace. Strength to you all in the family.

Hi uncle Iruku, I would like to remember uncle Mwaniki in the prayers today. What I remember about him is his kind and gentle spirit. He was a calm and contemplative, deep-thinking person. I have memories of he and aunty Nyakio going back almost 30 yrs from the 1st time that we lived in Kenya in the 80's. So, it is pretty hard to imagine that they are no longer there. But in a way, they will always be there b/c we remember them and the gifts that they brought to us just by being who they were. They are already missed.

My condolences bhuti. I know the pain he went through (its unbearable at times), don't be sad, he is resting. His chapter in this book called LIFE was over. I'm glad you have learnt a lot from him. He is gone but his spirit lives on.
