For the family of the fallen icon Mama Grace Onyango, her demise leaves a hole in their hearts and shoes too big to fill.
Her death has hit them hard, but they are happy to hold onto the life lessons they took from the matriarch.
At their home on Tom Mboya Estate, Kisumu County, friends and family continued to stream in to condole with them as preparations towards the funeral began.
Mama Grace, popularly known as NyaBungu (Luo for daughter of the bush), died on Wednesday at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital after a long illness. She was 98.
Ms Pauline Akwacha, her eldest daughter, said she had lost a mentor, prayer warrior, role model and the family’s pillar.
