    I have lost a friend. Irungu always remembered to bring me a gift at Christmas and Mother’s day.
    His wisdom was exemplary, even at a tender age. He smiled whenever I called him “Muthuuri wa Kangema”.
    The love and warmth you exuded will be remembered and dearly cherished. You were indeed a gift and a blessing to all who knew you.
    Fare thee well, my friend.
    Mama Joel.
