She went on to share a post mourning her late father in the only way she could understand. Mercy wrote;

How do you mourn a man you had barely known? How do you mourn the man you called biological father but fought so much with him for the title of Dad that he wanted.

Deadbeat father?

but you felt he was yet to earn? What many never knew is Jimmy Wayuni is my biological father. And now he’s gone.

Fans and friends have reached out to the young girl encouraging and sympathizing with her as she tries to accept the loss. Anyway we shall follow up with the story in case of new updates!
