<\/a><\/p>\nNairobi governor eulogized his late dad in an emotional post on social media;<\/p>\n
“Exactly two years ago today, you slid quietly into eternity. Time stood still but it can never erase your presence in our lives. Death may end life but not a relationship. We remember you as a wonderful gift from God, our pillar of strength. We deeply cherish your memories of love, dedication, kindness, wisdom and generosity which will remain our guiding light.<\/p>\n
“You still are in our hearts, your memories linger, sweetly, tenderly, fondly and truly. We miss you dearly. Your amazing life was a blessing to us; the memory of your deeds a treasure, your passing left a void beyond words and your absence a pain beyond measure. Although physically gone, you have always been a thought away from us. God be with you till we meet again. May the Almighty rest your soul in eternal peace,” wrote Sonko.<\/p>\n
