ROSE ACHIENG OWAMBO-R.I.P and peace be with all that knew her and all her friends.
I am still in shock. The news was not the easiest to take, & it still hasn’t hit me yet. You were always a fun person to hang around, always lovable. The Lord has called you to a better place & I am sure you are looking down over your friends & family with a smile on your face. Till we meet again, Rose, may your soul rest in eternal peace.
May the Lord comfort & strengthen the Owambo’s during this trying time. We are by your side every step of the way.

It is true that we are all visitors on this planet Earth. may the almighty father be the chief consoler and care taker during this difficult time for friends relatives and Owambo’s family atlarge.

I just wanna encourage the Owambo family that when they wait upon the lord during this grieving period…..their strenths shall be renewed…and the burden and sorrow shall be lifted. She is in a better place and we cant thank the creator enough for having let us share our lives with this adorable lady….
Rose you will be surely miss forever, when I google your name on the internet and sure comes your picture it left me with teary eyes for quite sometime. What a wonderful and a great friend, full of life and joy. Only God does what is best and am sure you are in a better place……….RIP. Even afrer 4 year am still crying.
Did a google search of my former junior school class mate and im shocked to see that its you Rose. I do remember you with fond memories as you were easy to relate to, funny and way ahead of your time in wisdom especially when it was so hard for some of us to fit it the school‘s social circle. Thank you for making my childhood memorable. RIP
