Lawyer Donald Kipkorir’s mother succumbs to cancer in India

The lawyer revealed that the deceased breathed her last in India where she had been flown for treatment.

Katarina bravely fought a long battle with cancer with the lawyer revealing that she did not cry despite the pain that she was in.

Kipkorir mourned his mother in a lengthy message posted on Twitter, revealing that she died on Saturday.

"Yesterday, my Beloved Mama, Katarina rested & is in the bosom of Abraham. My mum fought her aggressive cancer with Stoicism, Fidelity to God & Courage. She never once cried in her searing pain. I thank God for giving her to me. In the heavens, she finds peace & serenity," Kipkorir wrote.

"On my way to India with my mum. The Commandment to honour our parents is the only Commandment with assured Blessings … My Beloved mum Katarina has undergone so much pain.

“Praying that the Best Oncologists in India will give my mum respite & healing. May the heavens hear us."
