“Rest in peace to the love of my life. I hate that you won’t see my children. I hate that you won’t get to see the woman I become but I’ll make you proud. I love you dad ❤️”, her daughter Michelle ‘Chemoss’ Serut wrote on Twitter
In October 2021, Chemoss went public asking for money to help cater for her dad’s medical bill which had by then accumulated to over sh20 million.
