Father Chrispin Oneko has prepared this special message about his late brother, Vincent Omwala Oloo, of Kisumu, Western Kenya. Vincent was killed when he tried to rescue his parenets in their home which was set on fire by the Kenyan Police. Both his mother and father survived, are living with relatives now, and have begun to rebuild their home. In Kenya, the average life span is roughly 46 years, and Father Chrispin's parents are both in their 80s. We are so happy to report the political settlement and an end to the terrible human atrocities in Kenya.  Father Chrispin       Remembering My Brother, Vincent - Vincent Omwala Oloo From Father Chrispin Q. B. Oneko Vincent's All Too Short Life   Vincent was born on September 28, 1976 in Sagaya Village, Ruwe sub-location, South-Ugenya Location, Siaya District in Nyanza Province in Western Kenya, Kisumu. He attended Ruwe Primary School, then Madungu Intermediate School before joining Butere High School in Kakamaga District. After his High School graduation, he worked shortly in Nairobi before coming to Kisumu where he worked at the Kisumu Cotton Mills (KICOMI). At this point he met with the prominent Kisumu lawyer, Mr. Aluoch Olago, and joined his legal team. He worked faithfully until the time he met with his tragic death on January 4, 2008 when he was shot in cold blood trying to save his parents whose house was razed to the ground by fire set by Kenyan Police; may Vincent's soul rest in eternal peace.   Those Who Remain Will Always Remember and Cherish Vincent   Vincent's wife, Seline, and their three children survive him. Vincent was a good person; he was faithful, loving, caring, friendly, generous, and above all, a God faring man. Now he is gone and all of his family and friends must accept our loss, but we must never stop praying for him. Just as Jesus forgave those who killed Him, I forgive those, the killers of my brother, Vincent. Vincent, we all miss you physically, but remember that you will forever be with us spiritually! May Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you your sins, and bring you to everlasting life. May your soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen. Vincent's burial has been postponed three times and his body not yet interred due to the unrest in my country as part of the aftermath of the Kenyan General Elections. Vincent's burial was finally completed on Saturday, January 26, 2008 in Kisumu in Western Kenya.   Thanks to All of You For Your Prayers and Personal Support   I want to thank all those who have offered prayers and supported me in every way possible making it possible to me to deal with this situation. I am especially thankful for my bishop, the Most Rev. John J. McRaith, my pastor, Rev. Fr. John Thomas, the Rev. Darrell Venters (Vicar for Priests in the Owensboro Diocese), the entire Presbyterate of the Owensboro, KY Diocese, the parishoners of St. Michael The Archangel Catholic Church, and the parishoners of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church. I also must thank the principal, teachers, ans students of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School, and all friends known and unknown, young and old.   I thank you and salute you all. It is because of you that I have managed to make it through this major loss of my brother and the ordeal with my parents. I just don't know how to thank you, but what I do know is that I will keep all of you always in my prayers. Thank you and God bless you all!   Father Chrispin Q. B. Oneko
