How Betty Bayo’s mother respected her
One of the most emotional moments came from Betty’s mother, Joyce Mbugua, who shared a video message recorded from the US.
Joyce had been living abroad, having moved away before, and Betty was even planning to join him soon before his sudden death.
In her message, Joyce honored Betty as a strong believer from childhood, recalling their close relationship even as Betty grew into adulthood.
He explained Betty’s journey from studying journalism to following Gospel music in 2009 and how he continued to help her academically.
“No mother should go through this. I say what you could say: it is God’s will. When you were blessed, you taught me to rest while you took care of me, helping me in every way. You brought me from the village to Runda Estate, where I lived with you until I asked to come home. Although you hesitated, we finally agreed. You built me a modern house to ensure I live well, and later you suggested I move to the United States, where I am now. Your life was short, but you lived more than I could have imagined. For goodbye, my dear Betty, you will always be in my heart.”
