Justus Simon Manyara

Appreciation & 1st Anniversary

 1935 — 29 April 2019

One year ago on 29/4/2020, you found peace in God’s hands. In our hearts you will always be a wonderful dad, father in law, grandfather, brother, uncle and a friend to many. Time hasn’t healed the pain of our loss. As we celebrate your life today we shall forever remain grateful and cherish the lasting bonds we shared with you as a family. We thank God for the privileges of your honorable life and we miss your humor, infectious smile, guidance, quietness and generous nature. We pray that your soul continues to rest in peace. In life we loved you and in death as you lie next to our mum, we miss you all dearly.

Charlie Kaimenyi, Franklin Mbaabu, Ernest Mwiti and the rest of the Manyara family would like to acknowledge with gratitude the support and kindness extended to the family by a diversity of our friends both in Kenya and the U.S.A. We were humbled of your sharing in our grief by way of prayers, counseling, personal visits, phone calls, messages of condolence, financial contributions and moral support during the demise and funeral of our dad.

We are greatly indebted to the Supt minister, David Muthuiya and the St. Paul’s Church pastoral team, Gitoro Methodist church, St. Paul’s women fellowship (Milimani chapter), we thank you for the spiritual support during that time.

To all others that we cannot mention individually, the family is most thankful for standing with us, and please accept this as our sincere appreciation.

Due to the current Covid issues we shall postpone the unveiling of the cross and celebration of our beloved Dad this year.

Dad you shall forever remain in our hearts. Those we love don’t go away, they remain a towering beacon of inspiration to us in our daily lives.

Thank you very much and may God bless you abundantly
