Many thanks to Karibu Travels, my Boss who fixed an emergency leave at lightning speed and any other person who might not have been named here. My family was very moved by the unity and solidarity you showed us during a very sad moment.
In Kenya, many thanks to the “George Osewe Funeral Committee”, members of the Redeemed Gospel Church, St James Ayiengo – Kadongo, George’s fellow staff members at the Nyanza Provincial Police Department (Telecommunications) together with everybody who played significant roles during and after the funeral of the late George Osewe. Your unwavering support and solidarity will always remain in the hearts of all Family members.
It is funny that three days after death, hair and fingernails continue to grow. As Isaac Asimov put it, “Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that is troublesome”. The late George Osewe was buried on Thursday the 9th of August 2007.
