The Bishop Emeritus of North Ankole Diocese, Steven Namanya delivered a powerful message encouraging mourners to fear God and maintain a light-hearted spirit to receive His blessings. “We should always act with integrity,” Bishop Namanya urged, drawing inspiration from Jane’s 81 years of unwavering belief in Jesus Christ, which she embraced fully in 1944.
Atwijukire Dan Kimosho, the Member of Parliament for Kazo County and Jane’s grandson shared heartfelt reflections about his grandmother. He expressed gratitude for the sacrifices made by their forebearers stating, “They provided the necessary foundation for our grandchildren’s future.” Atwijukire emphasized that the support of the older generations has permitted the younger ones to pursue opportunities and build upon their rich legacy.
