Dear Suki,
As I sit down to write this tribute, my heart overflows with a mixture of emotions. Though you are no longer with us in the physical realm, your presence and influence continue to reverberate in my life. Your passing has left a void that can never be filled, but your memory will forever be in my heart.
From the moment I arrived in the UK in 2011 through TOURAID, you embraced me with open arms, providing a loving and supportive environment that allowed me to grow and thrive on my return to Kenya. Your belief in my potential and your generous sponsorship enabled me to pursue my education and chase my dreams. Thanks to you, I stand on the cusp of graduation, ready to embark on a new chapter in my life. Your unwavering faith in me has been a driving force behind my accomplishments, and for that. I am forever grateful. Your support changed the trajectory of my life and opened doors I never thought possible. The impact you have made goes far beyond the tangible, for you have shaped the person I am today.
Your dedication to promoting well-being in the workplace has had a profound impact on my understanding of holistic health. As I delve into the world of sleep science in my second book, It is a privilege to dedicate this work to you, knowing that you will continue to inspire its message.
Throughout your battle with cancer, you demonstrated strength, resilience, and grace inspiring us with your courage in the face of adversity.
Your friendship meant more to me than words can express. You were not just a mentor or sponsor but a true friend and foster parent, always there to listen, guide, and support. Your wisdom and kindness were a beacon of light in my life.
Thank you, Suki, from the depths of my heart, for everything you have given me. You have left an indelible mark on this world, and your light will shine on, illuminating my path even in your physical absence.
Shine on your way!
Lorence.
