Her voice was calm but heavy with pain as she spoke about their last conversations and the bond they shared one built through love, challenges, and quiet strength.
Sky said she understood that her mother was gone and that she would no longer have the chance to create new memories with her. Still, she held onto hope that they would meet again someday.
She described Betty not only as a mother but also as the woman who transformed Kenya’s gospel industry through creativity, discipline, and an unmatched work ethic.
According to Sky, much of their journey remained hidden from the public.
People often made assumptions without knowing the sacrifices and long hours her mother put into producing the music Kenyans grew to love.
She noted that some critics never understood the level of dedication behind every song and performance.
Betty’s sudden death on November 10 left the country in shock. She had been receiving treatment but eventually succumbed to leukaemia.
News of her passing quickly spread, sending fans, fellow musicians, and ordinary Kenyans into deep mourning.
As condolences poured in, so did questions. Many wondered why Betty chose to keep her illness private.
Some believed that opening up might have helped her receive earlier or better treatment, especially after claims surfaced that she may have faced insurance challenges that delayed her access to proper care.
The silence around her condition left the public searching for answers, even as they grieved.
