Msiba wa Mama Elizabeth Mwakasisi, Michigan

To Tanzanians and Friends,

On behalf of the family of Frank and Elizabeth Mwakasisi, I would like to inform you that the Mwakasisi family plans the funeral service for their beloved wife and mother on Saturday September 18, 2010 in Portage, Michigan. The funeral service will start with visitation, followed by memorial service, burial service and reception to celebrate Elizabeth's life. Please stay tuned for updates when the program for the day becomes available.

I would also like to update you on the status of fund collections and contributions towards the Elizabeth Mwakasisi Memorial Fund.

The target date for collections towards the Elizabeth Mwakasisi Memorial Fund of September 2nd has passed but we have not yet reached the set goal of funds for the burial services for our beloved Elizabeth Mwakasisi and pertinent matters thereof.
