[Imc-africa] News from Kenya

[Glenda Loebell]

Hello Oloo
I have just opened my emails, which I have left
dorment for two weeks due to heavy work pressure.
I am shocked to hear of Grace's passing on. I have no
idea what has happened and if I read I get the
impression she passed away tragically.

Please accept my condolences during this time of
sadness.
Your loses are many-an aunt, a wife. You remain in our
thoughts here in Switzerland.

Warm regards
Glenda
