On July 4, 2019, hundreds gathered at the All Saints Cathedral to pay their respects to the late Bob Collymore. Among them was Wambui Kamiru's younger brother, Kanyeri, who was visibly moved by the occasion.
Wambui, who lost her father at a young age, was represented by her family's close friend, Retired Captain Kung'u Muigai. In a heartfelt tribute, Captain Muigai spoke about his relationship with the Kamiru family and the impact of cancer on their lives.
Bob Collymore, who passed away at the age of 61 due to cancer, was remembered by his family and friends as a devoted husband, father, and friend. His mother and sister were also in attendance, alongside Wambui's mother, Professor Njeri Wamae.
