Hon Kiplangat Erick:
“Oburu was completely overcome with grief at Lee Funeral Home, his knees seemed to go weak when he saw his sister’s body. The weight of the tragedy weighed on him—eyes swollen, voice shaking, and hands shaking as the memories came to mind. It was not just a farewell; it was a time of pain for a brother to face the end of a relationship that shaped his entire life.”
@GermSeed:
“I have never seen a complete orphan like Dr. Oburu crying like this… the pain must have hit him hard. Losing a sister (Beryl Achieng Odinga) is a wound that the heart struggles to bear, especially after losing his beloved brother HE Amolo. May he find comfort in this difficult time, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.”
