IN LOVING MEMORY OF 
FRANCISCA EBENYE MONJIMBO ("MAMA")
TRIBUTE TO FRANCISCA EBENYE MONJIMBO, 
fondly known as "MAMA", 
as she is laid to rest this first day of December 2018

Yours was certainly not an easy life. You spent the better part of your 24 short years on this earth, in and out of hospitals and in pain. YET, you took it all in stride. NEVER complaining; never wallowing in self pity; refusing to allow your ailments make you bitter. You fought adversity with exemplary and uncommon bravery, courage, determination and resilience and SMILED your way through trials that would have broken even the bravest amongst us! All the challenges you faced never prevented you from being one of the most PLEASANT, THOUGHTFUL, CARING, HOPEFUL and OPTIMISTIC human beings many of us who knew you will ever have the chance of meeting.
We weep at your passing, because our hearts are SADDENED to see you leave this world so young, with many of your earthly dreams unfulfilled BUT it is difficult - in fact it would almost be "unfair" and selfish, to wish that you would have lingered on and continued to face the challenges you had to deal with! 
May GOD ALMIGHTY grant us - your PARENTS, your NAMESAKE ("MBOMBO"), and your Aunty/Mom Dorcas in particular, the GRACE to find the solace that lies in the fact that you now REST - WHOLE, FULLY RESTORED, HAPPY & FREE from all pain, worry and sorrow!!!!!  
GO IN PEACE, MAMA!
Your very life - from start to end, was and always will be a compelling LESSON on GRACEFUL ENDURANCE. 
You certainly will not be forgotten!
