My Gogo,

I miss you dearly. Saying goodbye to you was not easy, but I find solace in knowing that you are finally at peace. While you may be gone from our sight, you are forever in our hearts. You were one of my biggest supporters, my loudest cheerleader, and my friend. I will miss our walks together in Edgemont and sharing a plate of fries :) . They were times when we shared stories and simply enjoyed each other’s company. Gogo you were truly a force of nature. Even when battling Alzheimer’s disease, you remained resilient and physically able, defying odds, and living until the age of 90. I am so happy you stayed long enough to meet your great granddaughter, Livia Rutendo; and that I could capture moments of pure love and connection. Rest easy, dear Gogo. Your legacy will live on through your bloodline, and I hope we make you proud. Until we meet again.

Today we say goodbye to a remarkable woman who touched the lives of all who knew her. My aunt was a beacon of love, grace, and strength, and she inspired me to be a good man through her example.

She taught me the importance of kindness, compassion, and integrity. She showed me the power of perseverance and the beauty of resilience. She was always there with a listening ear, a warm embrace, and words of wisdom.

I carry her teachings with me every day, striving to be the best version of myself because of her. Her memory will live on in the way I live my life, the way I treat others, and the way I strive to make the world a better place.

I will never forget the love she gave, the lessons she imparted, and the impact she had on my life. Rest in peace, dear aunt. You will be forever missed, but your spirit will always guide and inspire me.

My muroora, You were like a mother to me. We had our good times and shared our secrets. I missed you, I miss you and I will forever miss you. Sleep now and take your rest. Deepest sympathy to your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Most sincere condolences to the Mushayandebvu and Zvaraya families. You fought a good fight Amai Machuma. We learnt a lot from you back then in Greencroft. Fondly remember those home reared succulent big chickens! Fambai zvakanaka mwana waMaria, Chiyedza chisande chikuvhenekerei narinhi wose.

I share this in sorrow. My deepest condolences ,my daughter, my best friend it will never be easy for me as I have no one to share my gossip with, words fail me. The love you have for the whole family you will never be forgotten, I call her daughter as I was named after her mum. My Teacher, advisor, counsellor, whenever she visited Zvimba everyone will be in their places that aunt will be around, we will all behave. A woman of no nonsense. She would go extra mile. Go well you will forever be missed. This is difficult for us Machuma, Ruby Mushayandebvu.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon her.

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
