It is hard to know just what to say when one so young is taken away, far to soon she had to part , her memory engraved in our hearts. We only knew her for a short while, but the life she led made us smile, she was so beautiful oh so rare. Llife as they say just is'nt fair. Those gone before wil watch her with care, till the day comes when we join her there. Know Wairimu is watching from heaven above, and with each ray of sunshine, she is sending her love.

Never would have thought just shy of two years being out of high school, an eagle would be gone. Rest in peace Nimo.

Margaret, My heart goes out to you. I am sorry that I have no words that can offer any comfort to you at this time. Remember that God understands a mother's cry.
I wish you gentle and peaceful memories of your beloved daughter Wairimu whose time was too short for those who loved her. Yet, she will live on through you her mother, her father, brother and sister with the freest of spirit and her presence will remain larger than life. The tide of life may have erased her footprints, but only for the moment, for having walked here once , she remains always in your hearts. Her voice is quieted, but I know her smile and her spirit will echo in your hearts where your beautiful daughter will always be remembered.
May God love and grace be abundant in your lives at this impossible time and in the days to come.
My prayers are with you and your family. Joyce
