Rest in eternal peace, dear Njoki. Until we meet again.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” — 2 Timothy 4:7
I was Njoki’s Dean at William Smith College, and she not only was my student, but a member of my family, and my friend. She spent hours at our home and with my two sons who adored her. She and her mother taught them what passion and commitment mean, and how to cook her favorite meals! She transformed lives and communities everywhere she was. Our world is diminished by her loss, but she is at peace, and with her parents and husband now. Rest in peace, Njoki.
