Lawyer Donald Kipkorir with his now-deceased mother.

"Yesterday, my Beloved Mama, Katarina rested and is in the bosom of Abraham. My mum fought her aggressive cancer with Stoicism, Fidelity to God and Courage. 

She never once cried in her searing pain. I thank God for giving her to me. In the heavens, she finds peace serenity," he said.

To pay tribute to her, Kipkorir adopted a literary work of English poet Samuel Taylor.

"A grief without a pang, void, dark, and drear, a stifled, drowsy, unimpassioned grief, which finds no natural outlet, no relief, in word, or sigh, or tear," he mourned.
