Denis K. Parmuat of Newport, MN passed away on March 30, 2013 at Regions hospital, in St Paul, MN. Police investigations are currently going on to determine the exact cause of death.  The preliminary cause of death is believed to be from an externally inflicted prescription drug overdose.

Denis came to the United States for studies in 2003, and completed his AA degree at Inver Hills Community College in Computer Science in 2010.   Denis was in the process of relocating to North Dakota to start his life afresh, but stayed behind a little longer to ensure that the people he would be leaving behind would be okay before moving on.  It was during this move that his death occurred.
Son of the late Joshua Parmuat he is survived by his Mother Jacinta Parmuat, sister Angela Parmuat (Cindi), sister, Mercy Pilale Parmuat and 2 nephews.  Family members, friends and well wishes are having fund raisers necessary to cover costs of sending Denis remains to Kenya.  The target goal is US$15,000 which includes originating costs from Regions Hospital in St Paul, MN to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya.

This weekend we are having a fundraiser meeting to be held 5:00 pm at Jambo Restaurant; 6000 Shingle Creek Parkway, Brooklyn Center MN 55430. Daily prayer meetings (maombi) will be held at 6:00pm at his cousins Joannes Lenana (253 341 3260) apartment house at 1957 Wilson Avenue Apt 102 St. Paul MN 55119.  The final fundraiser meeting will be held on April 21, 2013 at the Kenya Christian Center. Your prayers and support will forever be appreciated and may the Lord rest his soul in eternal peace.

It is with great sadness and humble acceptance of God’s will that we announce the death of our mom, wife, cucu, sister, auntie, cousin,  and sister in the Lord, Keziah Njeri Nduati, after battling with cancer for the last several months.

And it is with great joy that we celebrate her winning a crown after finishing her race and transitioning home to be with the Lord where she desired and longed for during her Christian life on this earth.

Keziah was the loving daughter of the late Paul Wainaina and Hannah Wanjiru Wainaina of Kanyariri Village, Kiambu District, Kenya. She was the wife of John Nduati, beloved mother of Pamela Wanjiru White of Seattle, WA, George Wainaina of the UK, Lee Nduati Njuguna of Nairobi, Kenya, Ben and Katie Nduati of Cleveland, Ohio and Mark and Nyaboke Mbugua Nduati of Syracuse, NY. She was Cucu to her grandchildren, Biko Mbugua, Miadi Mbugua, Imani Mbugua, David Wainaina, Titus White, Isaiah Nduati and Noah Nduati.

She will be missed by her sisters Rebeka Njau, Nairobi, Karen Kamau, Nairobi and Jemimah Wainaina, Ohio; her brothers Kihara Wainaina, Nairobi, Edwin Wainaina, Nakuru and James Wainaina, Nairobi; and by her nephews and nieces, cousins and a host of brothers and sisters in the Lord all over the world.

So what can we say? I will say what she told me. “It is absolutely necessary for each person to know how they are truly related with the Lord. I’m not worried about death, and I’m not in denial. I know where I’m headed”. “O mundu amenye wega uria metainwo na Ngai kia ma”.

Funeral arrangements are underway and the family requests your prayers and financial support.   There are several events planned in memory of Sister Keziah:

The post Fundraiser notice for the late Edward Mundia Mwaura in Garland, TX appeared first on Jambonewspot.

The six-year-old  Shirley Wambui Mundia proudly marched wearing her maroon graduation gown on May 30th at the Veritas Academy in South Bend, IN. This was her first graduation anticipating many more and a bright future. She bragged about her awards to members of the family thereafter.  Her mother had big dreams  for her.  We are still in disbelief that Shirley won’t have the chance to live any of these  dreams.

Little Shirley, brutally murdered by her own father on the morning of Sunday, June 2nd now rests in heaven with God. She will be deeply missed by her mother, family and friends. Shirley will be remembered for her adorable smile, little tight hugs and a big heart.  Baby Shirley made everyone around her smile. She was a regular, joyful six year old  with a golden heart.

Family and friends will be meeting at Christian Church International on 1530 S Main St in South Bend, Indiana, daily at 5PM until Friday June 14th.

Viewing will be on Saturday June 15th from 1PM to 3PM at Alford’s Mortuary 1222 Napier St, South Bend, IN 46601. This will be followed by the memorial service to be held at Pentecostal Cathedral C.O.G.I.C. on 1025 W Western Ave South Bend, IN 46601.

To lay Shirley to rest with love and dignity, the family is asking for support and donations. Donations are securely accepted through  our website  http://shirleymundia.com.  Words of support can be posted on our Facebook page –  http://www.facebook.com/ForShirleyMundia .

The family extends heartfelt gratitude for all the prayers and support consistently flowing in from all corners. This is the response of love and the power that overcomes. Thank you.
