This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Catherine "Cathy" Kirui, 40, born on June 22, 1974 and stepped into Eternity on March 2, 2015.

We thank you very very much for all the continued support you have shown Cathy's family during this trying time. Once again, we are reminded that we cannot be exempted from trials and difficulties during our earthly sojourn, and that God sends good friends to lighten our burden and give us the courage and fortitude to weather the storm. From the bottom of our  hearts, we thank each one of  your for your financial support. May Jehovah Jireh (the Lord who provides), always supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. May your pockets never run dry, and may He increase you to levels eye has not seen, and ear has not heard! We thank you too for the emotional support, and for your comforting words which have given us hope in the midst of sorrow and pain. 

On this website, you are listening to some of Cathy’s favorite music, and seeing Cathy’s pictures, of her children and her family and friends.  Some of the songs were written by her sister Antonia, with a lot of help from Cathy, who was great in harmonizing. (Her favorite song is “Kou Iguru”). We cherish your thoughts and tributes to a loving woman we all knew and are going to miss. We will remember her forever and we welcome you to join us in remembering her.  

Please feel free to share your memories of her life and her legacy. God bless you and Shukran (Thank you)!

Babo,
When I look out to stars at night
I remember your spirit free and light
you are now in winged flight
to the zenith of the universe
across the cobblestones of the milky way
your legacy lives on in a mighty celestial display
8 years on, our hearts still ache when we remember that day
... and you are missed

Every so often I think about you and wonder what life would be like with you around. How would it be for you ,to see your son grown into the fine young man he is and your baby girl, a fine young responsible lady? I miss the endless laughter and long night chats. I miss you alot ,however I know where you are at,uts endless peace and joy. I know we'll meet again in the Lord's timing. Happy sixth birthday sis!

God needed a new flower to brighten up His Heaven.

He walked out into His garden, and saw missing there...
A bright and sweet flower with silver in her hair.
He saw missing from His garden, a flower of delight.
One with eyes that sparkled and a smile that shined so bright.
Missing from God's garden was a flower full of courage, faith, and love.
Missing was a flower that lived so fully in strength and in trust.

God picked the flower, the perfect one for above.

He gazed down and saw a color of purple here below.
With a fire that burned so brightly, the embers cast its glow.
In all His infinite wisdom, He knew it was time for her to go.
Time to live in His garden....where the flowers forever grow.

So when the sky above me,
Casts a purple glow,
I know there's a flower,
Forever blooming,
Where God's great angels go.
Babo continue resting with our heavenly Mighty..

Exactly a year ago you entered rest having fought a good fight. Somehow I console myself that no more pain and stress but again the pain of loosing you is sooo real and fresh. It certainly is hard but God's Grace and unending favour has been immense. I miss your laughter,company and the fun we had together. The jokes you made of the nurses after they interrupted your sweet sleep in the morning just to have you take your medication,and you making me sleep on your bed since you fancied my couch at BLK only for a group of docs to find me blacked out on the bed as if I was the patient....lol... and the heavy Indian accent......I miss you sooooo much and cherish every single moment I spent with you....the babies miss you dearly and all they say is "aunty babo is in heaven" and i smile at them because I know that is true......so till we meet again and in God's timing, RESTORATION IS PROMISED for those who die in CHRIST JESUS.

To family and friends of Cathy, think of her as living in your hearts. For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. Although death has separated you physically may your faith in God and the love you have for each other bind you eternally.

To Cathy, though we cannot see you we know you are here with us. Though we cannot touch you we still feel the warmth of your smile and the strength of your love. Sleep soundly and rest assured that your legacy lives forever.

Cathy, Babo, dear one.it's hard to imagine you've slipped the surly bonds of earth and touched the face of heaven.You were an angel among men...that timeless beauty, that sunlit smile, that infectious giggle, that calm, mellifluous voice, that heart of gold, that grace under preassure..... you are now one for the ages ...riding on the wings of God.To know you Babo, was truly to love you. Uthiru, Nairobi, Kisumu, Kiambu and Githunguri; places you toiled under the sun; are now stiller places now that you're gone. it's as if the earth has fallen off its axis and we grope about hopelessly, trying to regain a steady keel. Oh Cathy! When shall we see you again? And as we count our losses here on earth, the pearly gates of heaven ha opened and you are in majestic company now...our Lord Jesus, Peter, John, Joseph, Abraham... in Jerusalem the golden. Well done good and faithfull servant!! Well done. Now we must finish the race you began and watch over Moses and Angela, your two little angels.Til we meet again Wambui, my dear friend, au revoir and bon voyage.I feel blessed to have known you and many are those who will cherish your memory.Shalom.

I still love you....I still miss you...I still wish you were here to share....I still pray for you, were my last words to you, it took me so long to understand why you didn't even say goodbye but God revealed. I know you are happy and pain free, will see you when my work on earth is done. R.I.P MY FRIEND AND COUSIN.

Babo, I still haven't come to terms with your loss but I am taking every moment that we shared as positive memory. The last time I saw you was last year when you brought me a cake for my birthday and the memory is still fresh of all the updates on your ongoing tests and general welfare. Though it is hard to accept rest with the angels beau till we meet again at his feet
March 10, 2015

Babo, I am glad I came to see you and we shared laughter and tea... Most important, we talked and talked and I know you fought a brave fight!
May the Lord keep you in his bosom, May you watch over your beautiful children from heaven.
Till we meet again.... Rest in Peace Darling!

We can only find solace in the word of God, knowing that our beloved Cathy is in our Fathers house where Christ already made room for her. John 14:1-4, Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
To the entire Kirui family our thoughts and prayers are with you, may the grace of God be sufficient for you at this time, may his Holy Spirit fill every area of your lives to comfort, encourage, uplift and strengthen you. May the peace of God that transcends all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Then I heard further [perceiving the distinct words of] a voice from heaven, saying, Write this: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are the dead from now on who die in the Lord! Yes, blessed (happy, to be envied indeed), says the Spirit, [in] that they may rest from their labors, for their works (deeds) do follow (attend, accompany) them! (‭Revelation‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬ AMP)

A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself.
But the love that this person brought you...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers at all times
It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.
To the Kirui family May the Good Lord give you strength and courage in these difficult moments.
Wambui is in a better place

1 Thes 4
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
   My heart misses you; the laughter we had, the love we shared, you finished my sentences coz you knew me so well. Your beloved children Moses and Angie are now mine, I will be the best mommy I can be to them, they will grow in the Lord Jesus and worship him only. Sleep my Catherine sleep, in a short while I will see you again, Heaven is our home. I will love you forever my darling sister.

My darling sis Cathy, your earthly suite is no more! You stepped into Eternity, and you're now in a glorified, disease free body, singing and dancing on the streets of gold together with the host of heaven. Your parting with us was not an end but a magnificent beginning; the terrestrial just got swallowed up by the celestial. We can't wait to meet you at heaven's front gate when our temporary assignment on earth is complete. “Holding your memory with awe and pleasure, and hanging onto the promise of re-union''. R.I.P (Resurrection is Promised).
Loads and loads of love, Antonia

Cathy my dear,
Everyday I stare at your picture,
the vivid look on your smiling face,
tears fall on that picture as I sit there in tears...words can never be enough to say how I feel.....I remember the last time we met in Nairobi and we laughed like crazy and little did I know it would be the last time we would ever see each other....it hurts to know you are gone forever.
All I can say is you were a good friend and I will forever miss you. Till we meet again....
Good bye Cathy.....

The Model

March 11, 2015

So, in Jan 2015, I came over to see you and we spent some quality time together, we caught up on the journey our lives had taken us... then Angie  and Ariela came to the living room where we were sitting and they were 'modeling' on the cat walk, that brought so much laughter, especially when they posed...
I remember the 'rubbing' your back part that used to ease the attacks that would come on suddenly, and we joked that you were in labor and about to give birth to a beautiful baby.... I am glad that I was there with you.
Remember joking about you getting high on morphine? we joked that you'd enjoy taking the medication so much, you'd be high..... we laughed eh? Now, lemme take you back to Cecils' wedding when you came to Dar and we spent the whole time at the reception talking, you made me laugh so hard... I will not reveal our storo's that night, too funny!!!
I will only carry with me, the laughter and the person that you were...
God Bless You...... 

I know you are praising with the angels!

March 10, 2015
My dear, 

A sweet spirit, a loving heart, always there for us. Though separated by miles and miles, you always availed yourself whenever I popped in. The last night in May we stayed up all night trying to catch up, who knew this would be the last face to face on this earth. 

This earthly journey is over. No more pain, no more worries, no more tears, no more struggles. I know you are rejoicing with the angels and looking down upon us with that sweet smile and maybe even cracking up at you know who... the funny gukianiaring duo!

This was one of the last songs we danced and praised God to...

Ngumo na ũgoci irogucokerera
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndũngata ciaku ciaumagara
Ũtambũrũkĩtie moko igũrũ rĩao
Ngumo na ũgoci irogũcokerera

You reached the heavenly destination earlier but we are on the way but till then, I will miss you so but your spirit lives on.
