Yesterday, veteran actress Nyaboke Moraa held a heartfelt memorial service for her late daughter, Marrie Achieng, at CITAM Embakasi.

The event brought together family, friends, and supporters to honour the memory of the young woman who touched many lives, with Moraa sharing deeply personal reflections about her late daughter for the first time since Marrie’s passing.

"I first met Marrie in 2005 at exactly 3 PM. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen," Nyaboke began, her voice trembling. Despite being a teenager at the time, she and Marrie’s father were overjoyed at her arrival.

Nyaboke reminisced about the early days with Marrie fondly recalling how Marrie would cry, prompting light-hearted exchanges with her father about who would comfort her.

"I and her father were very excited and eagerly awaited her arrival. I gave birth to her in my teens. She used to cry, and I would also start crying, and her father would ask, 'Sasa mkilia wote, ntabembeleza nani?'" she said.

The actress spoke of the close bond they shared. "We had many beautiful memories. My heart is broken. I do not know how I am going to let my child go. I remember times I would go through so much, and she would find me broken in the bedroom and tell me, 'Mum, hukuangi mtu mbaya, ni watu tu wako mawe ndio wabaya.' Marrie was a good child," she said amid tears.

Nyaboke's grief was palpable as she spoke about the difficulty of coming to terms with her daughter's death. "My heart is broken... I don't know how I am going to tell my child to rest in peace... I still haven't believed that my child has passed. I do not have the energy to tell her to rest in peace," she said.
