“Life Has Been Hard Without You”: Tash Gitau Pens Emotional One-Year Tribute To Late Wife Betty Bayo

Widower Hiram Gitau, popularly known as Tash, has published an emotional social media tribute to mark the first anniversary of the passing of his wife, beloved gospel musician Betty Bayo.

Betty passed away on November 10, 2025, leaving behind a blended family that has navigated grief in the public eye over the past twelve months.

Writing on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Tash reflected on the deep void left by her death and the challenges of the past year.

“Today makes exactly one year since you left us, yet it still feels like it all happened just yesterday. To tell you the truth, life has been hard without you, and the gap you left can never be filled,” Tash wrote.

“I Will Give Those Kids My Very Best”

Despite the pain of loss, Tash reaffirmed his commitment to raising their children. Betty had two children, Sky Victor and Danny, from her previous marriage to Pastor Victor Kanyari, whom Tash had cared for since marrying the singer in December 2021.

Following her passing, the children chose to remain under Tash’s care, supported by a collaborative co-parenting relationship with Pastor Kanyari, who has publicly commended Tash’s dedication to their well-being.

Tash renewed his vow to ensure the children are provided for.

“Nothing Will Ever Take Your Place”

Concluding his memorial post, Tash expressed gratitude for the years they shared together, honoring her role as a partner, mother, and confidante.

“Thank you for all the beautiful memories we shared. 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… Thank you for being a mother, a sister, and my closest friend… Continue resting in peace, my darling wife.”
