Personal note

Gladys Adisa Erude, ‘Mathee’, held an unwavering trust in God through multiple hardships and challenges throughout her life. The strength she carried with her is an inspiration to anyone who knew her story. The Erude brothers have suffered a great loss, the matriarch of the family, the woman who fought battles for them from childhood through adulthood. A single mother who taught them to always make sure family sticks together and always have your faith.
Now as the Erude family treads through their grief, we ask for donations towards the celebration of her incredible life. In lieu of flowers, a contribution towards funeral expenses, travel expenses for the family, burial expenses, medical expenses, etc. is kindly requested. Mathee will be laid to rest in Nandi, Kenya. We hope to give her the memorial tribute she truly deserves.
Thank you and God Bless.
