A photo of Rosemary Koech Kimwatu with her four children has resurfaced online following her death, leaving many Kenyans emotional.
The photo shows Rosemary with her husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu, and their four children. It appears to have been taken during a happy family moment before her death.
After the news of her passing spread, the photo was shared widely on social media. Many people who saw the children expressed sadness, especially because they are still young and have now lost their mother.
Rosemary was a senior official at KCB Bank and was known in the banking sector. She was also a mother who appeared to value her family despite her busy career.
Her death came months after she celebrated her 40th birthday. In February, her husband shared a loving message to mark the occasion.
“Happy 40th to the woman who makes me complete, makes my life brighter, warmer, and better in every way. I’m so grateful I get to do life with you. Thank you for who you are, all you give, and for the love we share. Happy birthday to my heart, Rosemary Chemutai Kimwatu,” he wrote.
The family photo has since attracted messages of sympathy from Kenyans, with many praying for Rosemary’s children and husband as they come to terms with the loss.
Some people also shared their thoughts about how difficult it must be for young children to lose their mother.
Rosemary’s sister, Neno Overlander, has also spoken about her loss. In a video shared online, she revealed that Rosemary kept journals about what she had been going through before her death.
“My sister kept journals… The truth is coming out,” Neno said.
Her statement has left many people curious about what Rosemary may have written in the journals. However, details surrounding her death have not been fully made public.
For now, the family continues to mourn Rosemary, while the photo of her with her children has become one of the memories people are sharing as they remember her.
