Athlete Victor Wanyama and his family are undoubtedly going through one of the toughest moments in their lives.

The Wanyama family is laying their mum Mildred Wanyama to rest in their village.

A video of Wanyama and some of his siblings was seen carrying their mum’s casket from the airplane to the hearse.

They had airlifted their mum’s body from Nairobi to their village a day before her burial.

The Wanyama matriarch will be laid to rest on Saturday, July 5.

In the clip, Victor and his elder brother MacDonald Mariga were seen donning black suits while carrying their mother’s casket.

Daddy Owen captioned the video:

"Matulo Airstrip. A final journey home for a woman who touched countless lives. Rip to mama ya Mariga & Victor Wanyama."

A chilling photo of Victor seated next to his mum’s casket also emerged.

Victor looked quiet and composed, and his wife, Serah Teshna, accompanied the photo with heartbroken emojis.

Teshna had pledged to stand by her hubby through one of the darkest moments in their lives.

Here is what they had to say:

"Condolences to Mariga,Victor and the entire family. Mungu awape nguvu. May mum's soul r.i.p."

What was Wanyama's mum ailing from?

In other news, Noah Wanyama, Mildred's husband, revealed that his wife died from heart-related complications.

The father of 16 disclosed that his wife's leg got burnt and what started as a minor injury led her to be hopitalised.

Noah recalled how he spent time with his wife at the hospital after she was admitted, and he did not know it was their last hours together.

He went home to rest and bid farewell to one of their sons who was travelling abroad when he received news that his wife had passed away.

Noah recalled how he rushed to the hospital only to find his wife gone.

The two met in 1980, and they were both into playing sports; he played football, and his wife played netball.

He also had a light moment with mourners when he honored his wife.
