Carolyne took to social media to express her gratitude, crediting her faith for her son’s success. She wrote, “The God of widows has done it again. I am beyond proud of Tyrese and the young man he is becoming. This is just the beginning of greatness.”
Kenyans online joined in celebrating Tyrese’s accomplishment, with many lauding Carolyne for her unwavering support. The widow’s story continues to resonate with fans of the late John DeMathew, showcasing resilience and the power of a mother’s love.
