Gogo will always remember you RIP
Dear Chelsea, Girl! What can I say! I remember so clearly the morning your Mumma told me at work she was expecting you (we cried in the office)…. months later we welcomed you to planet Earth.Your posh Grandma dotted on you.A sight to behold. I have such fond memories of your early childhood, walking you to Kindergarten, picking you up after work from your Gogo’s house, our day trip to Buckingham Palace, forcing me to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings when I had barely slept after a god night out… You’d ask sternly like my Mother would.. “Where did you go, with who?” Oh Chelsea! Trying to get you ready for school were some of my best memories…the giggles we shared as Shaki got mad with us, our singing, silly games, walks to the shops to buy sweeties …..I’m just still confused and asking my God, why he choose you and not me or anyone else. I still chuckle when I remember you telling me I should be Evelyn MAZAVARA and Mumma correcting you its MAZAVA, and you insisting you were Kenyan Lol….I am sorry I missed your teenage years. I thank you for being you! I promise to look after your Mumma from wherever I am, as you also watch over her. I also promise that your memories will stay alive in me…in my own special way. I will light a candle for you, say a prayer and release you to God. Rest easy Chelsea, you never got to visit Kenya nor meet you other brother Christian that again was God’s plans. Shalom Baby girl till we meet at Jesus feet. I love you! Always Aunty Evie (Nairobi, Kenya)
Rip my sister, I miss you so much. We created the best memories together and I’m thankful for them. You was a amazing Aunty to Kaiden you’d call him every single day without fail and I loved that. You were such a amazing friend. We done everything together. I’ll miss it all down to our lil Costco trips lol. Me and Kaiden love you and will never forget you. 4L ❤️ .
My greatest regret is that we didnt have a functional relationship sis… the only time we were close is when we were young.. growing up made us grow apart… but l appreciate how you would pass birthday greetings each year lol… l loved/love you and prayed for you everytime.. when you got sick l prayed and prayed and hoped you would get better but death cheated… the day before you passed on l was emotional and sad and scared l knew something bad was going to happen but l never thought for a second you would actually leave this early … still praying for you cousin… we love you chelss❤….. may your dear soul rest in eternal peace…. ###heaven gained ###sleep tight sis

We had a Blast and I’m glad you had a holiday before leaving us.W ish I could put everything in here but you’d probably slap me so Today was your day and we have finally put you the rest. I love you & will forever miss you ❤️

Gone too soon Chelsea. Heaven must have been missing an Angel. MYDSRIEP.
Chelsea would come in to afterschool club and school skirt was under her boobs and we would say Chelsea pull down your skirt and she would look at us smile and shrug it off, then she would go to baby room as her baby cousin was there to see if they had food to eat in there. She will be remembered as a truly beautiful wonderful young lady ❤️
