From Mama Inosi for his Memorial Mass
Dear family and friends,
As we gather together today to share our love and happy memories of Koko, kindly allow me to share a thought that has helped me --as one of his mums -- to find peace and strength at this time. Actually, it's more than a 'thought'. It's something deeper -- a realization, a 'knowing'. It's knowing that the love for our children that flows forth from the day they are born is BOUNDLESS and FOREVER. Nothing can ever tear away from us the beauty and joy and reciprocity of that love. For is it not true, that even now perhaps years after our own parents or grandparents have moved on, we still feel connected and warmed by their love?
Koko came into our lives when his family joined his older brother and our daughter in marriage 12 years ago. He has become our own second younger son, together both so full of life and fun and energy. We all loved each other very much, and always will. And as we say this, we trust and KNOW that this love we feel has the power to reach out in space and time, to embrace and comfort Koko where he is now.
As family and friends of our dear departed son, could we join our hands in love right now? Let's feel together the power of the love we share for Koko, and send it forth! And let this everlasting, forever and ever love fill our hearts and souls and bodies with comfort, strength and peace. "
