In Church mourners praised the character of Nalubowa Margaret. The Christian Women Association leadership at All Saints Church Nankinga were thankful to the services of their now departed member who paid her subscription well and supported the organization. The members sang their association song for the dead Margaret and after put a cloth on her coffin.

ABOUT NALUBOWA MARGARET
Death robbed the children and grand children the love Nalubowa
had for them.
On
Sunday, 9th October 2016, Nalubowa's daughter
gave birth at Kibuli hospital. Nalubowa
decided to call on her. After some time there, she decided to spend the night
at the hospital. However, in the course of the night, she started filling
unwell. She then became a patient who was
eventually admitted with High blood pressure and Diabetes. On Tuesday both
patients were discharged from Kibuli Hospital.
On
Wednesday, Nalubowa checked on her daughter
and then went to her Hardware in town. Nalubowa
also called on her work place on Thursday, however, those with whom she took
supper could not believe that by 5.00am she had breathed her last.
I
came to know Nalubowa when I was requested to
help her daughters register a nursery school in Kikumbi Zone by the name:
Little Wonders Montessori. This school is owned by Nalubowa's
daughter who is in UK and her sister heads it.
On
a number of occasions, we would interact with Nalubowa
be it in School Management Committee Meetings or other school functions
involving parents and the children. Nalubowa
has been a source of encouragement to her daughters given that starting a
school and sustaining it is not easy. When I completed my assignment of having
the school registered and left, one day I met Nalubowa
as I had some issue to sort with the school head teacher. Nalubowa told me that they still needed my services.
One
time I visited her while admitted in some health facility. She is the type who
would forget about her sickness and think about the state of her Hardware
business. Had she been a lazy type, she would opt to sit and have her children
fend for her. She has been sparing time to go and do gardening 20 miles from
Kampala along Mityana the place where she will be buried.
Pray
for the family to endure through.

Grace the 1st born arrived at Mengo Hospital only to learn that her dear mother had been pronounced dead. She had the courage to tell the group to put the body of her mother into her Harrier car and she drove up to Kikumbi home.

in peace.
