I was really shocked to hear this sad news. Jewel was a big sister to me always reminded me that when we spoke. She was kind, honest and served our community diligently especially the kids. She would never let anyone first before the kids are taken care of 😂. A beautiful soul that has left us so suddenly and unexpectedly. You have left us your wonderful daughter to remember you by. Thank you! Rest In Peace Jewel, you will forever hold a place in my heart.
I am encouraged by Romans 8:35-39
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation , will be able to separate us from the love of God is Christ Jesus our Lord.

May you receive glorious welcome as you enter in the house of your maker in heaven . Amen. I will miss you big. Koma thayû Jewel

Gladwell I will always remember how we met. Our kids attended the same Montessori school and had the same transportation service to and from school. It was actually Ellie who invited my son, Krishna, to her birthday party. From the first time we spoke on the phone, we instantly become friends, and eventually extended family.

Once we met in person it was as if we had known each other all lives. We had so much in common and loved to help others. The “Gemini Generosity”!

Your kids where first priority, loved our family, a nd enjoying life to the fullest ! We enjoyed the best of the best! Since our birthdays where days apart, we would celebrate together for years!

We had fun! Amazing memories with amazing friends. Going forward I will always think of you on each birthday. With your angel wings, I am sure you will be present in spirit. Even attending movies in the theatre was fun. We had a blast watching the movie “Brothers” in the theatre. We laughed and talked so much during the movie I am surprise we were not put out! Later I got the movie to we could watch it again together with Judy at house. It was still enjoyable.

In your memory I will watch it again your (with a glass of Tia Maria & milk) and remember the words you said and characters you identified with. The character Louise Smith played by Jenifer Lewis was so you!! You often told betrothed your me to get the d daughter , Ellie, owry ready since we will be the “mother and my son , Krishna,inlaws” as you to marry. As I said, you would the grand babies to have designer diaper s. But Pampers are fine with me! We both agreed someone else will change the diapers but we would dress the kids. As devastated as I am at this time, o You” n behalf of m y son, Krishna, and I, G’ well “Thank so much for allowing us to experience with you and your family & friends that do not have to biologically related to be family. Rest in Peace my sister. You have been a good person to many people. You will be truly missed.

To Ellie you where your mother make her proud. Also, know ’ s world. She loved you m ore than life itself. Continue to we love you. I look forward to spending time with you and communicating on a regular basis. If you need us, please do not hesitate to reach out. We want to be there for you in the future.

To Annette - - we will pick up where G’well and I left off.

Wanjiru my daughter, you were hardworking and did alot in this family. You always called me 'Muciari'. You have assisted me in many ways and were my helper since every time I called you when I had a problem, you always assisted. Thanks for the car that you bought me as a birthday present, I will always be grateful. I am grateful to God for the many years He gave you. Rest in peace my daughter

My dearest darling sister, how can I find the best words to tell you how I miss you. How I miss our childhood moments where we would laugh during the hard times and cry during the bad times. We grew together and later grew apart. How I miss how you would cheer me up when you visit. You always stood up for me and was my best sister. Living life without you is and will be so hard to bear. We shared so much through the years and the memories will always recur in my mind. I wish you were still here with me enjoying life, but I can understand why God would want such a beautiful angel by his side. Shine you way my younger sister

Dear sister, it has really broken my heart knowing that I lost you. You have left so many memories running in my mind since we were children to our adulthood. You were always caring and loved me despite our minor arguments. I write this with so much pain remembering our promises to each other in our childhood. Processing the fact that you are gone is the hardest thing at the moment, but I know you have gone to a better place and I will always have you in my heart. Till we meet again dear siz.
