Ndugu Wana-Jumuiya

I am writing on the behalf of the family of our late sister to thank everyone for the moral support and financial contributions to honor their request to transport the body of Juliana back home for a proper burial. Her body left Los Angeles on Wednesday Jan 12, 2011 and I believe it arrived in Tanzania today Friday January 14, 2011 as scheduled. No words can express your love, I am thanking you so much and please allow me to share the messages of appreciation below…

• The brother of our late sister, Ndugu Isack Senya wrote the following on behalf of the Senya’s family, “Myself, Michael, our Father, Mother and the entire family have been pleased with heartfelt commitment shown by Tanzania community since we received news of the loss of our beloved sister. No words to express our deep feeling for the love shown by the Tanzania community to honor the family request of bringing back home the body our sister. We really appreciate for your joint prayers to God to keep her soul in eternal piece”
• Also Ndugu George Mutafungwa who is the love of our late sister asked me to share the following message, “I am taking this opportunity to thank the Tanzanian Community and everybody who participated to facilitate the transporting of my beloved body back home for a proper burial. Now that this complex task has been accomplished, I believe that her soul will surely rest in peace. I have no words to express my heartfelt gratitude except THANK YOU”

On the personal note, I want to thank everyone in the Tanzanian community for your sacrifice be it time, money and/or other resources that made this task possible. I will use Kiswahili for the richness of our language on what I want to communicate…

Pamoja na changamoto nyingi tulizonazo, tujivunie sana Jumuiya yetu ya Watanzania. Naomba dua kwa Mola kwamba Upendo na Umoja wetu udumu daima, Mungu azidi kutusaidia, Amina.
