Kenyans share last moments with loved ones

TUKO.co.ke reported the passing of the artiste after the family shared information about her passing.

Roseline was undergoing treatment at Texas Cancer Center in Nairobi, where she had been transferred for specialised care.

However, one TikTok user with the handle @ireneg53 shared a video showing the late gospel artiste in her latter days in the hospital, looking lean and tired.

In the video, Roseline ate and laughed while laying in bed as one of her friends sang a Luo song serenading her.

In the background a lady could be heard saying:

"A sick person with an appetite."

Kenyans reactions

What struck most people was how despite the singer being sick was able to eat. They also shared their experiences they had with loved ones who died after asking for various delicacies.

Here are some of the comments:

@Lea James said:

"My mama once told us that if you see a sick person having too much appetite, they are eating their last."

@Felicia said:

"My mum's request wasn't fulfilled because we couldn't even afford a cup of uji. 29 years down the line we are all grown up, can afford but she's nowhere."

@user717652409302 said:

"The day my husband drunk two cups of uji, kumbe alikuwa anaenda."

@Lynn Waki said:

"I remember a friend of mine asking for fish and she really ate. We were like aki leo amekula amepona. Only to realise that it was her last meal."

@MC Kelvine said:

"My dad drunk a whole glass of milk after a year of sickness. He passed that night."

@Lili Juma said:

"The day my mum aliitisha mahindi choma. In 2012, I will never forget."

@Leah Mwaura said:

"My dad ate the only remaining chicken in the boma. Kumbe he was saying goodbye."

@Njeri Muhindi said:

"I remember my friend asking for four samosa and after eating she just said, I'm okay now let me rest. That was the end of it."

It is also unconfirmed when this video was recorded before the 39-year-old passed on as the TikTok user was also celebrating her for fighting the sickness like a warrior.
