Lindah Sambulah Masinde

Even after the service I am still in a daze. I feel so helpless as I type this. Lindah and I had such a special relationship, it is no wonder that Keanna & Kailani always asked us why we weren't married (we had some "awkward" convos at The Knopp's Dining tables🙆🏾‍♂️ I even had to find a fake ring to satisfy the girls' curiosity. So I nicknamed her wifey thereafter. And she called me hubby. Maybe, just maybe, I should have used a real ring! 🤔😔

Rest well my darling dear friend. I am not coping well (especially as I am currently out of country as all this was happening!). At least we both know just how much we truly Loved each other.

Hubby!

Linda, I am so stunned, I am not even sure I can articulate how I feel properly.
I will remember your kindness. And that I got a chance to dance on stage with you.
It is said that grief is love that has nowhere to go.
Shine on your way mama, rest.

Lindah, although I knew you for only a short time, within that brief period I was able to discern the kindness and sincerity in your heart. From the very beginning, I knew you were someone I could rely on. You were generous, welcoming, and full of warmth. Before long, we were spending our days off together, attending events, sharing laughter, and creating memories. You introduced me to the wonderful people in your life and took me to places that became special because of your presence.

Your kindness left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know you. I celebrate your life and the beautiful person you were. May you rest peacefully with the angels.

Today, I say goodbye to a truly beautiful soul.
Though we did not speak every day or have frequent phone calls in the last 2 years, every conversation we shared carried depth, warmth, honesty, and meaning. Linda had a rare gift of making people feel understood, comforted, and seen.
Some of the deepest conversations I have ever had were with her — conversations about life, pain, healing, hope, and everything in between. She listened without judgment and spoke with kindness and wisdom that stayed with me long after our talks ended.
One thing I will forever hold close to my heart is how she helped me through the grief of losing her dear sister, Brenda, who was also very special to me. During such a painful and confusing period she gave me comfort, understanding, and closure regarding Brenda’s passing. Even while carrying her own pain, she still found the strength to help me heal. That says so much about the kind of person she was.
Her presence was gentle yet powerful. She may no longer be physically with us, but the impact of her love, her words, and her spirit will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
Rest peacefully, beautiful soul.
You were deeply loved, deeply appreciated, and you will never be forgotten.

You will be dearly missed

Is it the empathy in your eyes or the hearty laughter?
Is it the giggles we shared that still echo in my mind, or the genuine conversations that seemed to last forever?
Is it the joy you carried so effortlessly, or the dances we shared that I find myself replaying over and over?

I think it’s all of it and so much more.
Even though I didn’t get to see you one last time, I’ll always hold on to these moments, these memories, and the feeling of being truly seen and understood by you.

Will miss you little sis xxx

Lindah was that kind of a friend: warm, generous, and full of life. The world is quieter without her in it.
Though she is gone, the kindness she showed and the joy she brought will live on in each of us.
Rest Well Lindah. You are deeply loved and Will be forever missed.

My dear niece, my heart aches in ways that words cannot
express. Yet, even in my sorrow, I choose to celebrate you—your light, your contagious laughter, your unforgettable spirit. You had an ability to walk into a room and to form a relationship with everyone you met. You were so intentional about fostering relationships and you always gave it your all.

I will miss dancing with you, your contagious laughter , and your long phone calls.

My sister from another mother Lindah Masinde. I met you in 2015 through our sister Nora Caroline. You were this beautiful, talkative, full of love baby sister that was so amazing. So full of light. You were so introverted baby sis, but you matched me aura for aura with my extroverted comedy. Your laughter came from your feet!! You laughed, and you spread sunshine. For me, to be burying you is completely out of order!!! I cannot reconcile the fact that you're just gone. So, I will sit in these feelings for quite a while. I am completely bereft. May the peace that surpasses all understanding, guide and guard your loved ones through Christ through this very difficult time. Nakupenda. Sigh..
❤❤😥

Today my heart aches a little more than usual Aunt Lindah but I choose to remember and cherish the great memories we shared together.
You will be deeply missed & forever loved.
Treasured in my heart you will stay, until we meet again some day.
Rest in heaven's glory.

It’s so hard to believe that just the other day, we were laughing together like no time had passed—reminiscing about growing up as neighbors in Ksouth, sharing our fondest memories like they were yesterday.

I’m so grateful our paths crossed again. I’ll never forget the love in your voice when you spoke about your mum and your sisters—and how you told them all about us. That kind of warmth stays with a person.

I pray that God wraps your family in His comfort, holds them close, and fills the space you’ve left with the beautiful memory of how deeply you loved them.

You touched so many hearts, Linda. Your laughter, your kindness, your light—it all lives on in us. May you rest now in eternal peace. Heaven has truly gained an angel.
You will be missed more than words can say.

You are loved.... 💞

Lindah, though distance kept us apart, the memories we shared have and will always keep you close in my heart.
We may not have walked side by side in every season of our life but the laughter, conversations and tears we created will be unforgettable. Life may have taken us in different directions, but the imprint you have left in my heart, I will forever treasure. Thank you for your kindness, laughter and memories that still bring a smile to me today.
You will always be a part of my story and season. Rest in peace darling. You will be missed. 💞

There are souls who leave footprints on our hearts, and Lindah was one of them. She was a true gem. Gentle, kind, and endlessly giving. Everyone who knew her felt the light she carried, a quiet warmth that made the world softer, brighter, better.

Even across oceans, from Kenya to America, our bond never wavered. I remember the sound advice she gave me when I moved here: “Be patient with yourself. Keep your heart open, and never forget where you come from, but embrace where you are going.” Those words became my compass, guiding me through new beginnings and unknown roads.

She held me when life was heavy, giving comfort when I lost my father, reminding me that grief shared becomes lighter. Her laughter, her wisdom, her gentle encouragement, these are treasures I carry with me, woven into the fabric of my life.

Though she is gone, her spirit remains, in the kindness she shared, in the lessons she imparted, in the love that never fades. I will miss her deeply, but I am forever grateful for every moment, every word, every embrace of her friendship. She was, and always will be, a light in my life. I will miss our phone conversations checking on each other.

Rest peacefully, dearest friend. Your love echoes in every heart you touched.

Dear Linda,
I am still struggling to come to terms with the fact that you are physically gone forever. I will forever remember you as a beautiful lady with a golden heart. Your love for my many children at Mama Elizabeth Home Korogocho will never be forgotten.
You have been the Home's greatest supporter, always seeking help and generously supporting our orphanage in countless ways. My children will be heartbroken knowing they will not meet you as planned, but we will forever hold your memory in our hearts.
Thank you for all the precious moments you shared with me and my loved ones. May you rest in eternal peace, my dear friend Linda.

Lindah.
Was this the best way for you to leave,really?Life is not fair,or perhaps,death is just too cruel.

Had I known the three days you spent in Mombasa were the last I’d ever see or spend with you,I perhaps would have frozen that moment.

How is it that one moment,we were talking and planning your travel and talking about mum’s birthday and now you’re not here?

Your death has broken my heart into the most painful parts and pieces I’ve ever felt. I think about you every passing minute of day, and each time I do,series of painful holes form in my heart and they hurt more than words can express.You have broken my heart.

If there’s a life beyond this,that we know,I hope the shores are filled with life. May the afterlife be comfortable for you.

'Big siz', I'm still in shock that you're no longer with us. The memories you left us, will forever be etched in our hearts; the laughter, the fun times and also the sad times when you consoled us, as only someone with a big heart would.
You were an amazing sister, friend and colleague, and we will forever miss you.

Lindah, the memories we shared in December, and the joy of welcoming the New Year together, will forever remain in the hearts of my children and I. We spent a quiet afternoon on Sunday, talked about life and plans for the year. Little did we know, that was the last :-(
Rest well my Bestie, until we meet again
