"Mama Wanjiru will be remembered for her remarkable leadership, her deep love for her community, and her generosity. She mentored many and touched countless lives through her wisdom, kindness, and selfless service."

"At this painful time, we stand with you in grief and prayer, asking God to grant you strength and comfort. May Mama’s soul rest in peace."
