Mourners Honor Former Malawi Vice President at Memorial Mass.

People came from far away to remember Saulos Klaus Chilima at Nsipe Catholic Church in Ntcheu. The former vice president died in a plane crash last June, along with eight others.

Family and friends knew him as "Bhiyeni." His wife Mary and daughter Elizabeth placed flowers at his grave first. Other guests, including UTM Party head Dalitso Kabambe and tribal chief Gomani V, followed with their own flowers.

The crowd prayed and sang as one. They talked about how Chilima helped build up Malawi. He gave much to those in need and stayed strong in his faith.

"He showed us how to live for others," said one person at the service. The words hit home with many who came to say goodbye.

His death shook the country hard, but even after he died, Chilima brought people together. The flower laying showed how much he meant to Malawi. His life taught others to be strong and care for their country.

The mass ended with hope. People left knowing Chilima's good works live on. He gave his life to make Malawi better, and that gift keeps giving, even after he's gone.
