Yohandi and Anayeli...I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful Beyonce. Your daughter’s life was shaped by extraordinary strength, and so was your love for her. The care you gave her was profound, and her presence changed the world around her. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss, and I’m holding you in my heart.

Through my friendship with Beyonce's family, especially with her father, Yohandi, and her grandmother, Loida, I was blessed to have her as a part of my life too for the past 15 years. She was like an angel in human form, and she touched so many lives during her time in this world. But now she is free, having slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.
