In her emotional message, Muthoni stated, "I'm writing to share some sorrowful news. Some of you may recall that my father had been gravely ill and was in the hospital for the last couple of months. We managed to bring him home, though he necessitated constant oxygen. I regret to inform you that he has sadly passed away. Yesterday evening, I spent some time with him, unaware that it would be my last occasion seeing him alive. May you rest in peace, Papa."
Though the PS did not disclose the specific illness her father had been suffering from, her message reflected the pain of losing a parent after a prolonged period of illness. The time spent with her father during his final days, especially their last evening together, left a lasting memory that she will cherish despite the sadness of his passing.
