Mum, you were more than a mother to us; you were more of a sister and a friend.

When dad passed on you filled the gap, you are a precious gift from God. We love you.

You left a huge hospital bill and we know that God will help us clear it. We have a paybill number 439321.

We know, mum, that you will shine on your way. We love you so much: Tekla, Jane, Nelly, Mary, Bernad, Sisto and James.

Alice Gakuru Wachira will be buried at her home in Karima, Othaya, Nyeri County, on a date that will be announced later.
