lets all pray for peace and political stability in our country

I was so deeply distressed to hear about Fr Michael, he was a wonderful priest, good friend and fantastic human being. I am a teacher in Gateshead, England and my previous school, St. Mary's RC. Primary School twinned up with St. Anthony's Academy in Nakura. He had been to England several times to the parish of St. Mary's and helped us to form the link. With his help, the two schools learned a lot frm each other's cultures. I was one of quite a few staff who had the privilige to visit and work in Nakuru. I actually stayed a while with Fr. Michael's mother overnight, with colleagues.Several Kenyan teachers came to England to teach at our school. Fr. Michael inspired us to raise money, as a school and a parish to help the people of Nakuru. Apart from raising a large amount of money to provide provisions and educational equipment for the school, the parish raised enough money to have bore holes dug for water. I will always remember Fr. Michael for his love of life, his pride of his country and his infectious giggle. God Bless you Michael, we all loved you and will miss you. What a great pity that these "men" didn't know the real you and understand the great work you were doing for your people.
