Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash, has paid an emotional tribute to his late wife, gospel singer Betty Bayo, as he marked the first anniversary of her death.

In a heartfelt message shared on Facebook on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, Tash reflected on the pain of losing his wife, admitting that life had been difficult without her despite a whole year having passed.

“Today makes exactly one year since you left us, yet it still feels like it all happened just yesterday,” he wrote.

Tash said the void left by Betty remained impossible to fill but reassured her that he was doing his best to raise their children and honour the promise he had made to her.

“To tell you the truth, life has been hard without you, and the gap you left can never be filled. But I promise I am doing my best to take care of the kids, just like I promised you,” he stated.

He further pledged to provide for the children and ensure they never lacked anything, saying he remained committed to the responsibility even in his wife’s absence.

“And even after a year, I still hold onto the promise I made to you that day: I will give those kids my very best. As long as I am alive and even beyond, I will make sure they never lack anything,” Tash added.

The widower also celebrated the memories they shared, describing Betty as an exceptional wife, best friend and mother to their children.

“You were the best wife and best friend anyone could ever ask for. I love you so much, Darling. Even in death, nothing will ever take your place,” he wrote.

Betty died on November 10, 2025, leaving behind a family whose grief has occasionally played out in the public eye.

Tash concluded his tribute by thanking her for the love and memories they shared, asking her to continue resting in peace.

His message offered a glimpse into the personal loss he continues to grapple with while carrying out the promise to care for their children.
