Taking to her social media, Kathy Kiuna revealed that December 10 marked her late husband’s birthday. With a heavy heart, she expressed gratitude for the years they spent together and reflected on the profound impact he had on her life.
So here is the day. We got married 30 years ago today. It’s my husband’s birthday today, and he transitioned on a Tuesday, 5 months ago. I have all sorts of emotions at the same time. As I weep, I weep in hope because I know I will see him again in glory.
She described her late husband as an incredible person, a generous soul who loved her deeply, and a man of great faith.
He loved me loudly, and I am forever grateful that God gave me him for a husband, best friend, confidant, father, mentor, and hero, just to name a few. We really did life together, and he took me to all my dream places.

Kathy also highlighted Bishop Allan’s exceptional parenting and his love for their children and grandchildren
He raised wonderful children and gave them such confidence in a functional setting. They will never have excuses. As for his grandchildren… they knew they were loved seriously.
She acknowledged the pain of his absence but found comfort in her faith.
God does all things well. We know in part, but He knows the whole picture, so I choose to worship Him and give glory to His Name through it all. Does it hurt? Very much. Do I miss him? Terribly. Did I see it coming? Not at all. My eyes are on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith.
