Miriam's love of God was an inspiration to us. We loved to hear her sharing about her daily walk with Jesus which made us want to hear more. Her dedication to her family when Denise and Daniel were young is another strong memory. God be with you, Derek, Denise, Daniel, Robert, Janet, and all of the Mpinga family and Mawire family and extended family and friends, and God give you His peace and comfort. In His love,

Nurse Mpinga was one of the most dedicated school nurses I have known. She and I worked together at Glencrest 6th Grade School in Fort Worth.I am saddened by your loss, but we know that God has a plan for all of our lives and one day we will meet again. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless and strengthen you today and always.

Both of my children went to Hill Elementary and Ms. Mpinga was a lovely lady. She was a very caring nurse and the children just loved her. She often spoke of Africa and how beautiful her homeland was. Now, I am sure she is in a much more beautiful place. Trust in Him and allow her memories to sustain you in your time of grief. God bless Miriam and her family.
