Asenath Rotich has revealed their unfulfilled April wedding plans in a tearful tribute during his funeral service.
Late Marathon World Record holder Kelvin Kiptum's wife, Asenath Rotich, has delivered a heart-wrenching tribute to her husband during his funeral service, unveiling the couple's plans for a church wedding in April—a dream that will now remain unfulfilled.
Amidst tears, Rotich shared the depth of their love and the pain of their separation, emphasizing that although their plans were significant, they pale in comparison to the grand design of life that is beyond human comprehension.
"My dear love, I can't learn how to say goodbye to you with weak fingers and pain in my heart. It's unbelievable that today I've learned to stay with our beloved kids without you coming home again," she expressed, her voice breaking with emotion.
