The Late Mrs. Isabella left Mombasa in early March 2003 for Nairobi, where she fell ill shortly before she was admitted at the Aga Khan Hospital. After a week at the I.C.U., God saw her fatigued & weary, looked around his garden, found an empty space, knew she will never be well on earth again & lifted her to rest on the March 21, 2003 at around 15.00hrs Kenyan Time. 



Passage of time has not healed the excruciating pain and high magnitude of loss & infinite sea of loneliness we feel each passing day. Gods calling was an overwhelming blow and loss, and adapting to life without you seems like a long, weary and tortuous journey of life. 



We truly miss your love, wise counsel, humility, generosity, sheer hard work and tale telling sessions. You were and still are an inspiration & mentor to us all. We promise to nurture and pass on the values of honesty, power of loving and caring, human kindness, self sacrifice, being without self piety and hard work that you instilled in us. You have left us a strong message which has no borders and which goes beyond faith, helping, listening & solidarity.



You were a true blessing, a precious gift from God and we thank God for those treasured, magnificent years we shared together. Mum you are gone but as the Gospels teach us these things we endure: faith, hope & love, you had them in abundance.



Your legacy is safe and your dream lives on in the hearts of your family. Everything we love, no doubt, will pass on, neither it, nor our love for it, is any less valuable. 



You are fondly missed by your dear husband Toni P. Mmbololo, sons and daughters, grand children, sisters, brothers, relatives, friends & colleagues. Forever will you live on in our hearts and indellible mind(s) and never die. May your soul continue to rest in eternal peace?



We affectionately loved you Mum, But God Loves you more.
