By Steve Ireri, May 15, 2026TikTok creator Maribel Imac Irungu’s close friend Maureen has shared emotional details of their final conversations, revealing a deeply personal exchange they had just days before the content creator’s death.
In a heartfelt tribute posted on TikTok on Thursday, May 14, 2026, Maureen reflected on how she will choose to remember Maribel, describing her as someone who was searching for God even amid emotional confusion and personal struggles.
“This is how I want to remember you. Searching God through the confusion. Healing and recognising it. Watching you sleep forever is hard. Watching depression claim your sweet life is hard. Thank you for letting me into your life. Thank you for cheering me on. Thank you for loving me. I will cherish your friendship forever. Rest in Power sweet girl. #ripmaribel,” Maureen wrote.

She also expressed hope for the future, saying she was grateful for life and even made plans to meet Maureen and another friend for lunch.
Maureen responded warmly to the message, celebrating the positive update and encouraging her to continue praying and staying rooted in faith.
“Ameeeeeen! Oooh this is such good news mama. I am so happy to hear that. Keep praying and reading the word. You are indeed healed forever and ever,” she replied.
