Veteran actress Nyaboke Moraa and her ex-partner, Blak Aende, held a poignant memorial service for their late daughter, Marrie Achieng, at CITAM Embakasi. The event was a somber gathering of family, friends, and supporters to honor the life of the young woman who left an enduring mark on their hearts.

Nyaboke Moraa, visibly overwhelmed by grief, shared deeply personal reflections about her daughter for the first time since Marrie’s passing. With raw emotion, she recounted the joys and challenges of motherhood.

“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.  

The actress spoke of their unbreakable bond, recalling shared laughter, tears, and unwavering support.

“We had very very beautiful memories. My heart is broken. I do not know how am going to release my child,” she said, her voice filled with sorrow.

Nyaboke’s pain was palpable as she expressed her inability to accept Marrie’s absence.

Marrie’s childhood friend, Debra, delivered a heartfelt eulogy that celebrated the young woman’s vibrant personality. Describing Marrie as a “walking and talking bundle of joy and occasional chaos,” Debra painted a picture of a beloved friend who brought light into the lives of those around her.

The memorial service was a solemn occasion filled with tears and shared memories. As the community mourned the loss of a young life, Nyaboke Moraa’s heartfelt tribute stood as a testament to the enduring love between a mother and child.
