Rosie,
Today I choose to celebrate you, you uplifted so many lives through your dedication in Rotary.
You truly epitomised the mantra ‘Service above self’ You will be dearly missed my dear buddy, keep dancing with the Angels.

Forever in our Hearts 💕

Rosy, No words can express how hard it is to process your Loss. You were a personal friend, and the most dedicated individual and Rotarian who gave her all in service and on human interactions. She had her way of creating an intimate relationship with everyone she met, and literally lit the world with her pure soul and genuine smiles. Serving with you as the PR Director and you as the project director was a pure bliss. You motivated and inspired us to always remember the objectives of rotary, you lived the four way test and lived and demomstrated fully what service above self is all about. I will miss you my dear friend. Till we meet again, RIP Dr. Rosemary.

Our dearest Rosie 💕,
We have lost a gem. I am so glad that I got to meet you. We connected from the first day we had a one on one. You were a great motivator because of the passion you had for service.
To honor your memory.. I will play my part to ensure our upcoming fundraiser is a success.
I served with you at the Sunshine rally snr finally understood why you give it your all.
I should have listened to my gut feeling and checked in with you on Thursday we never got to finalize on our unfinished business because God has a different plan..

I will miss your signature SAA moments. Light up heaven with your beautiful dimpled smile. We will continue to celebrate you 🙂

We will do our best to be part of your forever family… Your son will always know that you were a force and you made the world a better place..

Rosie,
I’m writing this with great confidence that you’ll get to read it. The world has lost a valuable person and Heaven has gained an angel. You lightened up every space you set your feet on.

I never would have thought that this day would come, that I’d pen down a message like this to a person who welcomed me to Rotary with great warmth, atleast not this soon. I choose to celebrate you my dear. Your memories will live on. You gave your all, and this has made me view life from a different perspective. You’ll be missed dearly. Fly with the angels dearest Rosie❤️❤️

A wonderful soul has rested!
Always dedicated to service above self!
May God rest your soul in eternal perfect peace

Rosie, such a joy and a candle plucked. May God grant your friends and family peace and comfort at this trying time. Your smile forever etched. Your dedication to #ServiceAboveSelf abound through and through and will never ever be forgotten. Lover of life and you shall be missed.

Ee Waridi letu ua, salamu nakutumia,
Haliyo natakajua, roho ipate tulia,
maana twawaza wazua, haliyo tukahofia,
Kwako twashindwa pumua, kutwa tukikuwazia.

Ua la waridi, safiri salama,
Uliienzi jamii, majukumu ukayabeba, kwa mwafaka umeitenda kazi.
Kwako twashindwa pumua, kutwa tukikuwazia.

Mola! Rabana tupe yetu faraja, Jamaa, marafiki and wote walioenzi ua letu la waridi.
Tupe utulivu, kupendana na kuiga mwenendo wake ua letu la waridi wa ustadi, uhodari na kujitolea Mia bin mia
Kwako twashindwa pumua, kutwa tukikuwazia.

You truly were a rose. In deed, in word, in form. You were plucked from us just as we were enjoying you bloom. Shine on your way lil missy. Bloom on in God’s own garden. May we never forget you.

Dear Mama Plugs, as I used to call you. The heavens knows what I have to say about you. My consolation is that, you’ve been promoted to higher glory because your selflessness deserved a big reward. And that is what I believe our Lord in Heaven thought it was so big to trust the process in your life. You are a gem and you are where the Lord wants you to be. Higher in His Glory. See you Mama Plugs. 💕❤️
I love you. ❤️

Rtn Rozie was such an amazing soul, always jovial, she embodied the true spirit of Rotary “Service above Self”. You will be dearly missed, rest with the angels Mama.

Makiwa na pole kwa jamaa, ndugu na rafiki waliomwenzi na kumthamini. Ua; Rosemary kanyauka mapema katika majira yake Moliwa. Yeye: Aliye, Mwumba, Mterehemezi awapanguse machozi ya majonzi katika kipindi hiki chenye jaribio kuu la mtihani wa upotevu wa siti mwendazake; hayati ‘Rosie’. Muhurumie Mungu pasipo na maswali yaso na majibu ya kina Munkari na Nakiri. Safiri salama, salimia Maulana. Tu nyumayo mikaka ijayo. Ni kwema mbeleni, Malaika mlakini. Clarence Namunyu; SAA, RC Gachie.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
Be a hero in the strife!

Lives of great men and women all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

You were a hero in the strife Rosie

Rosie, thank you for the beautiful moments you’ve shared with us… Truly you’ve lived the service above self mantra in the best possible way. Your warm hugs brought joy and delight. RCNTR wasn’t home without your beautiful smile. Your dedication to the Rotary family is greatly appreciated,you’ve done well Rosie. Truly you were a gift 📦 to us and the community you’ve served. I will miss you. Rest Well Rosie.

My dear Rosie,
The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person you will ever meet.
You were brave, funny, and
always there for anyone who needed it.
There is not enough space in to even begin to write a tribute for you.

A selfless Rotarian at heart who believed in the course.
You were to teach me the ropes of service and leadership.

An intentional friend, with a big heart and very caring even when you never received the love in equal measure.

I will cherish the moments we had and with a heavy heart, I let you go.
Shine on your way sweetie.❤️

Words are not enough to describe a beautiful soul that you were. The short period that we interacted proved a golden heart that you carried. You were selfless, you have left a big gap. My heart goes to your son and family, may the Lord fill the void and comfort them at these trying moment. I pray that Psalms 68:5 will be real to your son n family. Forever in our heart gal toto as you dance with the angels.
Shine on you way✨️ Rosie

Gal Toto,
Your were God’s gift and you gave it your all. Rest with the Angels, definitely service to humankind was your thing.

“Service is what life is all about.” “Great acts are made up of small deeds.” “Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” “As we serve others we are working on ourselves; every act, every word, every gesture of genuine compassion naturally nourishes our own hearts as well, you did that whole heartedly Till we meet again RIP Rosy.

Dear Rosie,
I looked at you several times and wished it was a prank……that you would wake up with your hearty laugh and get on your feet. It still doesn’t feel real. My eyes are filled with tears….
Though with a heavy heart, I choose to celebrate you. Your ever smiling self, fun loving girl, silly & funny jokes, ever present when called to serve…….you are an amazing human.
Shine on your way gal, heaven has gained a beautiful soul. You will forever be in our hearts….I will miss you “A Gal Toto”❤️❤️

I’m still lost for words I miss her messages I’ve worked with her for the past 5 years she was a beautiful soul an angel on earth truly

Rosie, A Gal Toto,
You’ve left us too soon.
Whom will I be joking with as we used to ? Whom will I be attacking with memes? We shared a sense of humour that was uneasily found.
This is amongst the hardest pill that I’ve been made to swallow.
You are a flower, as per your name, that God decided to pluck from his garden, but we won’t question Him.
You were bubbly, jovial and kind hearted.
A true rotarian who lived by our motto of service above self.
Not only were we friends and family of rotary, you were a friend and classmate with my brother at USIU. As a Family, we are shocked by your sudden demise.
Though you are gone, your memories will live forever in my heart.
Lala Salama Waridi.

Rozzie,
I’m lost for words and I’m even unable to process my emotions right now. To say the least, I am overwhelmed. I’ve been missing in action for a couple of times but I can’t forget the times we’ve met, your smile, saprano voice and tight hugs that were so genuine and filled with love and not so long ago you sent a short text asking when I’d be back and that you missed me. Wish I came back sooner to just have one last experience with you. You are gone physically but you’ll always be in my heart and will always be treasured. Shine with the angels darling

Rosie, your death has shaken me. I still think I am in a dream. That I will wake up and find you here. It’s sad that I can’t be there to share with other rotarians and really see the reality of your departure. For me, you will always be alive just a little further. I will never forget all the support you gave me as a fellow mum. Your advice has always made my life much easier. I will always remember how you always called to check how I was doing. One particular incident I will remember was the day my baby was sick and you called to offer your support. Your advice on how to collect urine samples will always stick with me! I am reflecting greatly on my life, because you lived. You were a true gem. We loved you Rosie.

Dearest Rozie

I finally gather the courage to put something down. You were an an awesome soul Rozie and it’s still so unbelievable that you are gone. This was too soon gal .
I can still so clearly hear your voice in my head, we have had such awesome times and such great memories. Deep conversations, and really good times.
I will miss out trips home from fellowship and events and how I would always get lost almost each time after dropping you and had to call you to recheck if I have taken the right turn .
I remember dropping you to your hotel apartment after Prezzo Chris’s installation in Vasha and we got lost ..and you kept saying turn right and after I turn, you say no, it was left. And instead of getting worried or scared, we were just laughing about how lost we were . So so many good memories we have had, road trips,lunch dates, evening catch-ups etc etc. The genuine conversations , crazy laughter, the dancing etc etc really pain me. You were an open book Rozie. I can still hear your famous soprano saying “Miro” I really wish you didn’t have to go so soon .😭😭

Your energy for service to the club was at another level – I got to know your rotary depth well when we did the Kajiado project – you were really committed Rozie and always there. I remember the 3 nights in Kajiado ,the many oconversations as we planned the event – one of the great times we have had together as we did service to humanity.
And just last month when we were doing the last trip to Kajiado for M& E, we had a great evening before and we came to my house and we were in great spirits. You had a great time dancing with my 9 year old daughter Amy ” In a Rush”. She too was really saddened by your demise and she was very sad for your son Roman. – last night I showed her parts of our vigil fellowship and the balloon part and she just cried out. We agreed to safely keep the white rubber shoes you left in our house that day as our memory for you.

Girl you were so real, you were able to interact with people older or younger than you …and you were comfortable. You never judged anyone and you just kept loving people …..

It’s hard to say ….but really just rest well Rozie. God only knows why

You shall be dearly missed girl ……💔💔💔💔💔💔

A gal toto, you were a radiant, intelligent, and a very devoted Rotarian, i always asked you how long you’ve been in rotary because your impact and presence was so immense. As a club we have lost, as a fellow Nexus the impact is too much to bear. Just to imagine that as a buddy group, all of us always showed up and you were always there, this Tuesday it was really sad we
could’nt come into terms that we took a photo and you were missing, that we are in the group your mobile number is alive but you cant text its too hard to fathom. I have been binging on your tiktok reels you knew you made me happy on that cheeky side.
Rozzie, we have questions but no answers but in all this we accept God’s will and know you were loved and your memories will linger on. Shine on your way girlfriend, good bye!

Dear Rozzie,
Its painful to write down words to describe who you were, a young but committed Rotarian who lived by the good example of who truly a good Rotarian is. In the words of Mother Teresa, you lived not by your own joy but for the joy of others who you served in the community.
Your space in serving humanity is missing and will be missed in years. May your family, friends and Rotary family find peace as we celebrate you coz we can’t mourn you. I will miss you

Shine on your way a gal toto

Rozie dearest, you have left too soon… it has been a very tough week dealing with it. Now rest dear, rest.

I thank God for your full life. I am grateful for the blessing of drawing inspiration from your life… you lived life on full volume; boldly, visibly, daringly, courageously.

I will remember your spontaneity… the last minute decisions we’d make, some great and some not so much. 😆

I will cherish your smile and positivity… the laughs were on another level. The many roadtrips, stories, meetups… we had quite some deep conversations too. So much wisdom in such a small frame… (I can almost see you roll your eyes on this 😉). But you also found the humorous side of things… and then we’d laugh some more.

I will not forget your passion, energy and compassion for life and for others. You were amazing… you went all out. So much energy… like the energizer bunny 🐰 …running around, getting things done.

But mostly, I will miss you… your charm and authenticity. You did you and proudly so!

I’m glad I got to know you and I am going to miss you terribly…

Always in my heart Rozie… always.

Go well…

Shocking news. Rest easy Rozie
