His love was unconditional - wife
The widow, Juliet and the youngest son, Noble Junior, arrive for the funeral service
IN a moving tribute to her husband, Juliet Mayombo said the four years she was married to him had been the happiest of her life. “Noble was noble as his name,” Juliet said at the prayers at Kololo Airstrip yesterday. “Noble was loving. His love was unconditional, not only for me, as his wife, but everyone who was privileged enough to have met him.” She described her husband as generous and very humourous. “He was kind and you could always count on him. He was a principled man, very hard-working, who always had his country at heart.” She said he had been a good father to his six children. “Noble adored his children. In his extremely busy schedule, he always found time to spend with his children. He showed them love. He made them laugh and he provided them with everything.” Juliet thanked President Yoweri Museveni for “being there for him in his time of need.” She added: “Although he passed away, he tried his best to save his life.” She thanked the Government for giving Noble a befitting send-off. “I truly believe he deserved every minute of it.” She also thanked the Speaker of Parliament, Edward Ssekandi, for accepting to honour him in the Parliament that he served. She pledged to raise their children in a way that would have made him proud. “I feel truly blessed and honoured to have been married to one of the greatest men of this nation,” she concluded. “I will always be proud of him… I will always love you, Noble.”
