Her TikTok followers, acquainted with her dedication, observed her solemn task and commended her commitment to ensuring Chira's peaceful rest.
While live streaming on TikTok, Ann reassured viewers that Chira appeared smart in his attire, providing solace to those who would bid him farewell.
Despite Chira's head being disfigured in the accident, Ann assured her followers that the disfigurement would not be apparent.
“I saw Chira in a gown and he looked good. I know Chira is happy. It’s hard kuona mtoto kama huyo life imekua snatched. It is hard. I hope those who will see him will get comforted. Those who will see him tomorrow, I hope God gives you the strength.”
In a touching video posted on TikTok, Ann addressed Chira directly, expressing her determination to create lasting, positive memories for his loved ones.
Ann spoke of her team's unwavering commitment to giving Chira a dignified farewell, recognizing the significant impact he had on those grieving his loss.
“Dear Chira, I knew who you are even if it is not in physicality so allow me to walk into your cold room and introduce to you the team that has worked tirelessly to see you get a befitting sendoff.
This team has done you justice Chira and as we put you into this beautiful casket with your best foot forward. I pray that when you are in heaven, you will be able to look down and appreciate the effort,” Anne said.
She added: “We have worked tirelessly to make sure that the people you loved and those that you have left behind have the best memories of you on the last day. We want the best version of Chira as you would have wanted and so allow us to make you as glamorous as possible just to have memories to hold on to. Just know that you were loved even in death and people celebrated you Chira.”
During a previous interview with Radio Jambo, Ann disclosed that her decision to pursue mortuary work was influenced by her own personal tragedy – the loss of her mother.
Experiencing a lack of adequate support during her own time of grief, she was motivated to offer solace to others facing similar circumstances.
“The reason why I decided to become a mortician was because of my own tragedy. I didn’t get to grieve the right way. I was stuck and struggled for a very long time,” she said.
Brian Chira will be laid to rest in a black suit and a graduation gown, fulfilling his grandmother's wish for him to symbolize his academic excellence.
