Yeasterday I attended the farewell service of Jesse M’mayi Sagiroi which was held at Sugar Land Mortuary Chapel and buried at Houston Memorial  Garden Cemetery in Pearland, Texas. Jesse was hit by a train on Thursday March 03, 2016 at Richmond, Texas and died at the scene. Jesse was born on March 07, 1995 in Mombasa, Kenya. Son of Ephee M’mayi and Onesmus Sagiroi. He lived in Houston with his family. Graduate from Foster High school. Up to the time of his death, he was a student at Wharton County Junior College with the plan of joining University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of business. Jesse was the last born in the family of four (4) children. He is survived by his mother Ephee M’mayi, his father Onesmus  Sagiroi, sisters Diana and Esther, his brother Brian, and other family members. Once again, I’m sending my sincere condolences to Jesse’s parents, family, friends, and the whole Kenyans Community in Houston-Texas. May the love of God be with you all now and forever. May His love be the source of your strength and comfort. May His love bring peace in your hearts. May His blood protect you all in every step of the way. To Jesse, continue to R.I.P we shall meet again on that beautiful shore! ?

     Remember Me: 

To the living, I am gone.

To the sorrowful, I will never return,

To the angry, I was cheated, 

But to the happy, I am at peace, 

And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen,

I cannot be seen, but I can be heard,

So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea – remember me.

As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty – remember me. 

As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity – remember me. 

Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. 

For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.
