8thSeptember, 2014 will be remembered as a day a Matriarch in the name of Nampombe Namkunda Kashimbiri breathed her last. On this day Bibi, you breathed your last when the cold hand of death took you away from us.
Much as the pain of losing you may be unbearable, yet we will forever celebrate your life and thank God for the gift of you to us.
We were generations so fortunate to have had you for virtually a full century.
To us, you were a Grandmother unlike any other. You were a pillar for several generations, a uniting factor and a wellspring of wisdom and guidance.
You taught us many virtues that we could neither learn at school nor indeed from any formal college.
You were always concerned about our welfare and well-being.
You were our prayer warrior and intercessor.
You provided leadership in various aspect of life to many. As our mentor, you always lovingly corrected us whenever we departed from the virtuous ways you taught us.
Though you are physically gone, our memories of you will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
Rest in peace our Beloved Bibi, our Mentor, Leader and Matriarch, till we meet again in eternity.
