Her Life

Mum after Dad

June 14, 2021
Losing Dad in 2003 was really tough on mum but God in his infinite mercies helped her pull through. She stood as father and mother, played the role excellently for 17years. She was blessed with 7 grandchildren, who she loved immensely. We wish she would have lived longer but God knows best.

Retired but not tired

Mum focused on trading and raising her grandchildren. She was caring to a fault, never wanted to see anyone in need without stretching a helping hand. She was a dutiful wife and mother. A disciplinarian that stood for honesty always. Her guiding principle was hardwork and truth. Most importantly a devoted Christian who had a relationship with Christ!
