Death Announcement

Loise is survived by her loving parents, Mr. Samuel Njenga Kaindo and Mrs. Mary Wanjiru Njenga (ithe na Nyina wa Kaindo) of Kiambaa, Kiambu District, Kenya; Her husband William Lundberg and parents, Late Brother Julius Kaindo, Brother James Ng’ang’a Njenga &wife Esther, Sister Lillian Wanjiku Augustus of Germany and husband Carl Augustus, Brother Joseph Gitau Njenga of Kenya, Sister Polly Wairimu Vida and husband George Vida of Colorado, USA; Brother Thuo Njenga and wife Sharon of Dallas, Texas USA; and Sister Grace Wanja Njenga of UN-Kenya, Nieces JoAnn, Leah, and Nina Augustus; Zowi and Eve Vida; Ciru Maxine and Ciru (mdogo) Ng’ang’a, Uncles, Aunts and cousins.

A fundraising service will be organized by Lifeline Community Church in Buena Park, CA. Her body remains with the Coroner pending transfer to Kenya where her remains will be laid to rest. More details on memorial and funeral arrangements will follow shortly.

Remember; 1 Corinthians 15:22; “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” Revelation 14:13; “Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”Amen!

Rev. Moses K. Ndereva; Pastor- Lifeline Community Fellowship, Buena Park, California.

History: Born and raised in Kenya, Loise left for the USA in 2001 and first settled in Texas where she met her husband William Lundberg. They then moved to California where Loise pursued her RN program and completed successfully. She passed her State Board exam and got her job with Riverside Community Hospital.

She later moved to Colorado and landed a job with a local Hospital. Loise Gathoni left this world on April 19th 2009 after settling shortly in Colorado. In many ways, throughout her short, yet very memorable life, Loise touched many among family and friends.

They say our lives are like identical suitcases; some people pack more into them than others. Such would be said of Loise because she had a free spirit and participated in many events. After doing her shifts at work, Loise would still find time to visit with friends and neighbors.

Watching Loise work through her workouts, kick boxing and morning brisk walks, one would see vitality and life at work. Her pleasant welcoming voice and willingness to help characterized her life.

SAD DEMISE OF PASTOR ISAAC KAMAU MUNGAI

It is with humble acceptance, we announce that on the 30th of October 2008, Pastor Isaac Kamau Mungai, went to be with the Lord. He was a loving husband, a loving Dad and a wonderful man of God. He leaves behind his wife of thirty years, Mama Zipporah, three biological children, family, the loving family of Huruma Children’s Home and friends. He will be laid to rest on the 8th of November 2008 and it will be a celebration of a life well lived as well as the lives he touched in his life. Surely we have lost a great husband, Dad and Friend and we pray that each and everyone of us will not forget the great legacy he left behind. May God bless you.
