To Tanzanians and Friends,
On behalf of the family of Frank and Elizabeth Mwakasisi, I am deeply saddened to announce the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mwakasisi that took place on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at Bronson Hospital, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. Elizabeth was undergoing treatment for breast cancer at the time of her death.
Funeral arrangements are being made for Mrs. Elizabeth Mwakasisi to be laid to rest in Portage, Michigan, USA. A message will be sent out as soon as the date is finalized.
The memorial service that was tentatively scheduled for Saturday August 28, 2010 has been cancelled. Please pass this message about the cancellation to anybody you know was planning to attend.
The estimated cost of Funeral Home services, the funeral and a reception after the funeral is $18,000.00. We currently have $5,220.00 collected. To help raise funds to meet the challenge of $18,000.00, I urge every Tanzanian and friends of the Mwakasisi family to give generously to meet the goal of resting Elizabeth in peace. A target date of Friday September 2nd has been set to raise the balance of the funds.

MASHEREHE YANINI…? MWENZENU KAFA UHIFADHINI MWILI, leo yapata yasita tangu kifo kutokea, ndio mnasubiri mpate jumla ya180000.00usd sawa na takriban milioni shilling millioni27 za kitanzania ndio mumzike ndugu yenu…?

ZINDGATIO: waswahili wasema”kila ndege huruka kwa ubawa wake” pia wanasema :”Mtu hujikuna ajipatapo’’
Haya yote yana maanisha kila mtu au family wanatofautianakiuwezo, wengine hufanya sherehe za harusizao kwa gharama KUBWA na wengine NDOGO kutokana na uwezo. Nihivyo hivyo katika MAZISHI.
usione makubwa mkapenda kuiga ilhali halili uwezo huna, sivyo hivyo….!!
Kwa nini mnataka kufanya mazishi ya gharama hivi na wakati fedha ni za shida jamani? Itamsaidia nani sasa?
ReplyDeletePoleni kwa msiba, pili poleni kwa kutokuwa na akili mtu akishakufa iliyobaki ni kuzikwa tu huko kumueka funeral home nikujitakia gharama za bure, itakayo msaidia marehemu ni amali yake tu sio maziko ya gharama na reception

..Africans will be POOR forever!!
ReplyDeleteThink twice you Africans!!
Kwanini mume wa marehemu hataki kufuat usia wa marehemu? hela hiyo inatosha kumfikisha huku na kuzika tena na chenchi itabaki kama alivyotaka marehemu. kwanini mnalazimisha kitu ambacho mwenyewe hakutaka jamani? mi napendekeza wosia wa marehemu uheshimiwe na aletwe tanzania azikwe kama alivyotaka. hela hizo zinatosha.
ReplyDeletePoleni na msiba, poleni sana. however, I also feel Mrs. should be laid to rest asap. You have already COLLECTED $5220 and still asking for MORE????? and for a reception AFTERWARDS????, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Poleni sana & SHAME on you.
ReplyDeleteEnyi ndugu wa marehemu uzeni vitu vyake ambavyo mnategemea mje kuvirithi maana kimfaacho mtu chake. Naungana na wadau hapo juu hiyo RECEPTION ya nini? Au huko Kanisani mpaka mlipie? Hamuwezi kwenda kanisa lolote mkawaambia kuwa tunahitaji nyumba ya ibada kwa ajili ya ibada ya marehemu? Nina uhakika hawawezi kukataa, kisha salini sala zenu, hizo pesa lipeni gharama za muhimu tu.
ReplyDeleteHivi huko Marekani hakuna masikini wanaozikwa kawaida tu, wanasaliwa kanisani wanapelekwa makaburini kuzikwa watu wanatawanyika. Nyie ndugu wachache mkitaka kulala matanga laleni sebuleni kwa marehemu, basi kuliko kila siku kuweka matangazo.
Roho ya marehemu ipate rehema kwa Mungu ipumzike kwa amani. Amina.
ReplyDeletePoleni sana wanafamilia.
ReplyDeleteIla mimi nimeshtuka sana,kumbe kufa ulaya gharama hivyo!Nawasii nduguzangu mlioko ughaibuni mkiona mnakaribia kufa rudini bongo.Hivi mmewahi kufikiria siku wakifa wabongo Ishirini kwa mpigo mtafanya nini?nani atachanga wapi?Poleni sana,hizo pesa hapa bongo zinatosha kulipia wanafunzi watatu elimu ya chuo kikuu na kuhitimu.
Poleni wanafamilia

ReplyDeletePili. Redio mbao zinasema kwamba marehemu aliacha wasia kwamba lazima akazikwe kwao Mbeya. Wadau sasa kama hivyo ni kweli, sijui imewakaaje? Mie naona imenikalia kushoto sana. Si kutiana umaskini na kukomoana huku. Haya, ndiyo mambo lakini. RIP
Mkienda Marekani kateni Burial Insurance Policy. Dola $42 kwa mwezi. Sasa nini hii kumweka mtu kwenye friji siku zote hizo. Kila siku anapokaa ndo gharama inaongezeka. Na badala ya delegation kwenda kusindikiza mwili waende watu wawili. Hela sasa hivi ni ngumu Marekani.
ReplyDeleteLORD HAVE MERCY ON US!
