It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished sister and aunty, Anne Muriel Riwaka, who left us on April 17, 2025. Anne has left an irreplaceable void in our hearts and lives, but her memory will forever remain a source of warmth and inspiration. Anne was a beacon of love, kindness, and generosity.
