LARRY MADOWO MOURNS HIS GRANDMOTHER FRANCESCA

CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo is mourning the death of his grandmother, Francesca Madowo. Through his Instagram page, the media personality announced his grandmother’s death describing her as his family’s matriarch and heartbeat. Madowo also detailed how his grandmother’s death has affected him.

“My grandmother, the family matriarch, our heartbeat, my comedy partner, the dearly loved Francesca Madowo has joined the ancestors. I am numb. My heart has been ripped from my chest. Light has gone out of my life. Nind gi kwe, min Omollo,” he wrote. 

This comes days after the journalist disclosed that she had been hospitalised with covid-19 and was on ventilator. Madowo also revealed how he had lost close relatives to covid-19 including his uncle because of lack of the vaccines.

He added that his grandmother had been on a ventilator for 4 weeks and each time he received a call from home, he feared it could be the worst. “I always fear that they’re ringing to say that my grandmother has died. She has been on a ventilator for four weeks and my anxiety is near breaking point,” said Larry on CNN.
