we love you and miss you dad.

Hello Neema and Jeanette!

We are so excited to have Neema to join Hillcrest next year! I want to introduce myself, I am Kendra Grothmann. I'm working in the admissions and enrollment offices with Wayne Stender. I will be your contact if you have any questions. Included in this email are important dates as we near the beginning of school as well as class schedule options. Before I can set up a class schedule, I need a few things, including a record of Neema's immunizations, enrollment paperwork which will be sent via docusign, and a comprehensive physical exam (attached). I do still need to receive her official transcript from his old school. If the school could mail it directly to us, that would be perfect.


Again, we are so excited to have Neema at Hillcrest.

I miss my friend Samedi... I still talk about and refer to this good man in so many ways he touched my heart.

Jeanette you have a beautiful heart and you are strong. We love you. Keep the up the good job of taking care of the precious children God gave you. They are the Samedi you now have.

Three years gone by and I miss you dearly

I can't believe 3 years have gone by so fast we still have you in our thoughts and prayers, we miss Samedi he was a wise man.... may you rest in peace Samedi!!! Jeanette God loves you and you are never alone even when you feel alone, Neema by now you have grown into a young beautiful lady keep the teachings that your dad and mum gave you at heart and I pray for success in all you do. Baraka keep your head up in all you do, all you need is confidence and a positive attitude I pray for success in all you do too. Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Today we picked up Baraka from Shattuck - soccer camp the game that we all loved. We also watched the first game played at the USbank stadium it was a fun time and we wish you would have been a part of it - Chelsea beat AC. Milan 3-1.

We spent the afternoon with you and laid some beautiful flowers, this is the closest we come to spending time with you. No more goofing around............
I miss you my dear all the time ....we are lonely and alone most of the time and that hurts so much
please continue to watch over us until we meet again
love you always

REMEMBERING my late dear friend and brother in Christ, FIGHUR SAMEDI KANIA. A dear friend and brother who and I share a profound philosophy of men without borders, men who are lost in every culture of the world for the sake of the Gospel of Christ. This I am and will forever be for greater is the reward when Christ comes. RIP my friend! Look forward to a great reunion. There's a lot we don't seem to understand but before our faces it shall be laid out someday. Blessings upon your family and may God put His protective shield around them that they may acquire all the blessings from above you hoped for. REST IN CHRIST BRO!

I miss this man. My big bro and a father figure. He was a good man. May his legacy live strong even through through his family

Today as we celebrate the first fathers day without you, we will be thinking about all the fun things we did on this day. We miss you greatly dada. .....

Hi Jeanette,
I was just thinking of you and your family and praying that God will continue to uphold you and stand by you. I hope that you and the children are fairing on as well as you can and I hope that you've been able to laugh and smile again despite your loss. I only met and knew Samedi for a short instant but he was one of those guys that leave a lasting impression, and I was very shocked and saddened by his demise. Take comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place away from all affliction. God bless you and your family.

Sam's untimely loss has been hard and one can not comprehend the sadness his wife, his young kids, other loving family members and friends are going through. I cared for Sam as a nurse once during one of his hospital visit and I got to know him as a fellow African with shared dreams of bettering our communities back home and be there for our kids. Let us keep his dream alive!

Dear Jeanette, Neema and Baraka, May our gracious God continue to hug you close as you deal with this tremendous loss of your beloved Samedi. May He constantly whisper words of hope to carry you through the low moments. May we all look forward in hope for that glorious day when death shall be no more! No more night, no more pain, no more tears, never crying again. Lots of Love and Deepest Sympathy, Ada, Dan, Adan and Dylan Siage

Samedi I miss you so much big Bro....We always celebrated most new years together. Those were fun filled days stretching back to our village in chesiro-Kenya where we grew up. We all miss you!!
Esly/Carol, Elvis & Wesly.

Here comes 2014- as we start the New year without you we know that you are watching over us. We will journey on and you will always be in out hearts. We miss you lots dada! Love Neema, Baraka and mama

This Christmas we missed you. It will never be the same again. We said a little prayer for us and remembered all the beautiful and fun things we used to do. An ornament especially for you hangs on the Christmas tree. You will always be remembered. We love you and miss you dearly dad - Neema, Baraka and mama.

On this day, 14 years ago we said our vows infront of friends and family, we promised to love each other until death do us part. Little did we know that it will come so soon...! I miss you my love.. always thinking about you and praying that someday soon we will meet again.

As I now come into terms with my cousin brother's death, I still have the pain of losing Samedi. He was more than a cousin to me and it is quite difficult for me to accept than Samedi is not with us anymore. I recall our primary days at Kapso when we could go to their home for lunch and even spend some days at their home. I even remember how our teacher used to make fun of us in class cause we were classmates. Oh my, what a tragedy! I have alot to say about Samedi but let me stop cause now it won't change what has happened. But I will miss him dearly. God bless and care for the family always.

RIP Samedi ...So sorry you had to endure the pain of a cruel disease and the sorrow of departing sooner than we had all hoped ...your family and friends are safe in Gods hands...Rest with the angels ..you are loved and never forgoten

I will always miss you so much my dear brother. I will cherish your legacy forever and the positive impact you instilled in my life since childhood. Witnessing your three year courageous daily fight with cancer will forever linger in my mind. Hopefully we will meet again soon when Jesus comes back as promised. May God's blessings be upon your family (Baraka, Neema and wife Jeanette).

Remembering it was yesterday (your natal day) and what blissful day of joy it would have been. Missed you my friend and brother!

Words fail me as I reflect on the life of my friend and brother right now! My prayer is for healing from the pain of loss that we all feel. I am especially thinking of all the immediate family members! May God continue to sustain you through the coming years!!

Happy Birthday my best friend!! you are loved and missed very much

You're truly missed bro! Can't come to terms with your passing. Painful as it can be. We prayed but God's plan took precedence for His will to be done. In our brotherly conversation, we believe God always has a plan. Yes He did and that was that you take your flight and rest for a while beneath till that great getting up morning. Love U always!!! May God bless and keep your family....Amen!

Sorry for the big loss of a beloved husband, father,son, brother and friend. May God rest his soul in eternal peace. My sincere prayer for the entire family and community. God wil fill the gap that Samedi left.

Rip bro. May God watch over ur family.
