Tarumbeta Ya Mwana

Tarumbeta ya mwana itakapolia mara, Milele itakapopambazuka, Nao wa haki watakapokusanyika ng’ambo, Majina yaitwapo, lo! — niweko. Majina yaitwapo, lo! — niweko. (x4) Siku ile watakatifu watakapoamka Na kuondoka huru kaburini, Watakapokusanyika makaoni kule juu, Majina yaitwapo, lo — niweko. Tutende kazi kwa Yesu mchana kutwa kwa bidii, Tutangaze kote pendo lake kuu, Nayo kazi itakapotimika hapo chini, Majina yaitwapo, lo — niweko.

180

Pana Mahali Pazuri Mno

Pana mahali pazuri mno, Twapaona kwa mbali sasa; Baba yetu angoja pale, Amepanga makao yetu. Kitambo tu bado, Tutakutana ng’ambo pale. (x2) Tutaimba pale kwa moyo Nyimbo tamu za wenye heri. Na rohoni hatutaona Tena haja ya kupumzika. Kwa Baba yetu mkarimu Tutatoa shukrani sana, Kwa kipaji cha pendo lake Na baraka anazotupa.

178

Ukingoni Mwa Yordani

Ukingoni mwa Yordani ninaangalia Bara nzuri ya Kaanani, ninayotamani. Tutakaa pamoja na Yesu, Katika pwani yenye raha; Tutaimba wimbo wa Musa na Kondoo, Milele hata milele. Bara ile ina nuru, nuru ya milele; Kristo, Jua, hutawala, hufukuza giza. Nitapafikia lini na kubarikiwa, Penye ufalme wa Baba. Na kumwona uso? Furaha yangu rohoni ni kuchukuliwa; Siyaogopi mawimbi katika Yordani.

177

Kazi Yangu Ikiisha

Kazi yangu ikisha, nami, nikiokoka, Na kuvaa kutokuharibika, Nitamjua mwokozi; Nivukapo ng’amboni Atakuwa wa kwanza kunilaki. Nitamjua, nitamjua, nikimwona uso kwa uso, Nitamjua, nitamjua kwa alama za misumari. Kuona uso wake utanipa furaha, Furaha isiyo ya kukomesha; Nitamsifu Mwokozi kwa rehema na pendo Vilivyonipa pahali mbingini. Nao waliokufa katika Bwana Yesu, Nitawaona tena huko juu; Lakini nifikapo kwake huko Mbinguni, Nataka kumwona Mwokozi kwanza. Milangoni mwa mji Bwana atanipisha, Pasipo machozi wala huzuni. Nitauimba wimbo wa milele; lakini Nataka kumwona Mwokozi kwanza.

Words of Love

Tributes

Those who loved her most speak here — in their own words, with their own grief and with a love that does not end.

Trevor Adagala

Son

My mum, it does not feel right. It does not look real. It feels like a bad dream, like you will come and wake me up and tell me it is morning. But this is now my reality. My mother, my friend, my confidant, my guardian angel is gone. Your voice, mummy — even your sharp rebuke when I was wrong — is now silent.

I still look at the door hoping you will knock and say, “Trevor, fungua hiyo mlango.” How do I live without you? How do I move on? My only hope is in God, who allowed you to rest.

Mum, you sacrificed so much for me. I saw your struggles, I felt your love, and I lacked nothing because of your commitment. You went out of your way just to make sure I was okay. You were my greatest cheerleader in football and in life. You fought for me like a lion because you wanted the best for me. It was always just the two of us, doing life together.

I loved you in life. I love you in death. You will always remain in my heart. With God’s strength, I will rise again. I will make you proud. I will work hard, I will pray, and I will carry your dreams forward.

Rest well, my mum — until we meet again. Love you always, Trevor.

Psalm 23:4 — “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Gladys Nafula & John Magana

Mother & Father

Robai our girl, mwana wanje, mukhana wanje — our daughter, you gave us the big title of being called mama and baba to such a beautiful soul like you. We held you in our arms after delivery and felt such warmth looking at your beautiful smile and an innocent cry.

Honestly, Robai, we must confess that we never saw this coming. This sting of death was not one of the things we ever thought would knock at your door, my daughter. We are pained, we are shattered beyond words. You have been there for us at our weakest point when no one else except you carried us through.

You were always present and sacrificed your time and resources for all of us as a family. You were our chief organiser, our counsellor on many issues — you made us feel at peace after talking to you. You carried us on your shoulders. Oh our daughter, you were our protector. No wonder you died in the line of your kind heart, helping your cousin Robert to get home. You did not hold anything back when it came to helping anyone in need.

You were a super mother to Trevor, our grandson. We saw you live for your son. We saw the strength you had for your son. You loved us so much — you took your nieces and nephews as your own children. Our daughter, you have left us your son Trevor. We promise to hold his hands with your sisters, Jackline and Dorice. He will not walk alone in life.

We cry for you, our daughter. Your mum Gladys & Dad John — until we meet again.

Revelation 21:4 — “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.”

Jackline & Dorice

Sisters

We gather with heavy hearts to honour and remember our beloved sister, Robby. You were more than family — you were our light, our laughter, and our strength. You brought warmth into every moment and love into every space.

Your kindness, your smile, and your spirit touched everyone around you. You gave so much of yourself so freely, and that is how we will always remember you.

Though we feel this loss deeply, we are grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the love we shared. Rest peacefully, our dear sister. You will always be loved and never forgotten.

Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.”

Walter & Tim

Brothers

Words will never fully explain how we feel losing the best part of our lives. You were our rock, our joy, our laughter. Life without your jokes and presence feels unimaginable. We have truly lost a gem.

Though the pain is deep, we will celebrate your life forever. You will always remain in our hearts. We loved you dearly but God loved you more.

Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Rahab

Sister-in-law

A friend before I married your brother. A sister when I joined the family. A mother and role model to my sons. You were my first call when my heart was heavy.

Watching you fight showed your strength. Though my heart is broken, I find peace knowing I prayed for you as you went to the Lord. You rested in my arms — I closed your eyes — but you will forever remain in my heart.

Rest easy, dear in-law.

John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.”

Delph, Ashley & Family

Nieces & Nephews

You were someone full of warmth and joy — the kind of person everyone felt safe around. You cared deeply, always checking on us and making sure we were okay. You made us feel seen, valued, and reminded us that we were the best.

You were more than an aunt — you were like a mother to us. You loved us, guided us, and cared for us deeply. We always looked forward to visiting you. Your home was full of warmth and love. We remember the little things: your sweets, your laughter, and the joy you brought into our lives. Family gatherings were brighter because of you.

We will always love you.

Proverbs 17:17 — “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.”

The Family

Appreciation

We, the family of Robai Lukania Magana, wish to convey our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all relatives, leaders, friends, church, organizing committee and well-wishers for their prayers, moral, financial and material support following the departure of our beloved one. Since we cannot thank each one of you individually, please accept this acknowledgement from our hearts.

May God bless you abundantly!

Isaiah 57:2 — “Those who live righteously and uprightly will enter into peace and find rest in death.”
