In Loving Memory

                                                 REGINA-QUEEN MASHAYO 

(OCTOBER 30, 1993 – OCTOBER 30, 2011 – 18 YEARS)

Remembrance is a golden chain that Death tries to break - but all in vain.  To have, to Love, and then to part is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.  The 18 years may wipe out many things but some they wipe out never!  Like memories of those happy times when we were all together REGINA.  We still do remember you tough you have gone away. Gone far away into the silent land; where you can no more hold us by your hands. Nor half turn to go yet turning stay.  Remembering you when no more day by day you told us of our future that we planned: only remembering you Regina: we understand will be late to counsel then or pray.  Afterwards remember you, but not grieve: for if the darkness and corruption leave a vestige of the thoughts that once shared. Better by far or never, we should not forget your Smile, Charismatic, Cheerful and your Sense of Humor; than remember and be sad about you dear.  If we should ever forget you whom we love to go along the Silent Way, we grieve not, nor speak of you with tears, but laugh and talk of you as if you’re beside us here.  And when you hear our songs and prayers, or see a bird we loved so, please do not let the thought of us be sad... for we will always love you just as we always have... You’re always missed by our Mom, Sisters; Rubyvera, Rehema, Joyce, and Emmanuela together with Brother Bravo-Paul.  Nephews & Nieces; Matthew, Rebecca, Milkajane, Badru.  Bradley, Eliphas and Latiffa you never saw, closed relatives and friends of Mashayo’s family!  There are so many things we wanted still to do - so many things to say to you REGINA – but in our blessed task from day-to-day are humbly, gladly and obey His will.
Remember that we did not fear... It was just leaving us that early on October 30, 1993 at 22:15 hours; that were so hard to face!  We cannot see beyond... But this we will always know: we all loved you so — but our Lord loved you more Regina-Queen!

GOD GAVETH AND GOD TAKETH, LET HIS NAME BE PRAISED

REST IN PEACE REGINA-QUEEN MASHAYO!
