Final Goodbye
Mbaitu FM presenter Mercy Mawia was laid to rest today at her home in Nyahururu. The ceremony marked an end to rumors about her last wish to be cremated, with her husband, Mwangi, clarifying that these reports were false.
Emotional Farewell
The burial was attended by notable celebrities, media personalities, and musicians, including Stephen Kasolo. Emotions ran high as family, friends, and fans gathered to bid farewell to the beloved radio host.
Mercy's Struggles
Mercy passed away while undergoing treatment in a Nairobi hospital. Her husband revealed that she had been battling blood clots and endured significant pregnancy complications. Despite her health issues, Mercy fought bravely until the end.
Candle Lighting and Requiem Mass
A candle lighting ceremony was held on July 30 at Captains Lounge, where Mwangi shared the difficult journey Mercy faced. The following day, a requiem mass was held at AIC Milimani Church, where Mwangi spoke about their 16 years together.
A Heartfelt Eulogy
During the requiem mass, Mwangi expressed his deep sorrow and described their strong bond and beautiful friendship. He spoke about their life filled with joy, love, and unity, overcoming various barriers together.
"Mercy, I have cried a sea; my spirit and will are bruised; this grief and pain are just unbearable. With you gone, my sorrows know no end," he lamented.
Mwangi also highlighted Mercy's strength and determination, especially during her final months. He shared that she was five months pregnant at the time of her passing, after trying to have a child for eight years.
"You fought long and hard; you didn't want to die. I had planned so many things after your recovery, but it turned out that our little trip to the hospital would be the last. For Stephanie and me, things will never be the same again," Mwangi said, promising to stay strong for their daughter.
