“She was the person I spoke to every morning; we’d talk about every single detail of our lives. We used to call each other ‘bebe’ because we saw ourselves as precious gifts to be loved and cared for deeply. I remember her vigilance whenever I went out; she’d ask for phone numbers of the people I was going to meet. If I didn’t come back home in time, she’d call them. Her pride in all my wins was boundless; she was my best friend. She was our guide in many ways and taught us to shine. She made us believe in ourselves when we doubted,” Barbra fondly recalled.
Concluding her tribute, Barbra remembered how Njambi had lightened their grief when their grandmother, whom they affectionately called “mommy,” passed away. She fondly reminisced about Njambi mimicking their grandma’s voice and sharing humorous anecdotes about her.
“In our lowest moments, she sat with us in our pain until it faded. She’s left a really big gap in our hearts, and no one will ever be able to fill those shoes. The only comfort we find is knowing she is free from pain and reunited with my grandma, sharing stories once more.
“Njambi, we’ll always love you, now and forever, our queen,” Barbra concluded, her words reflecting the deep love and loss felt by all who knew Njambi Koikai.
