It was August 31, 2001, the funeral of our favorite singer Aaliyah, this day we said goodbye to her forever, this day filled with sadness, seeing the procession with Diane her mother as well as her father Michael and her brother Rashad , it was really hard, it hurts my heart to see his images again. I can't say it enough, but the plane crash should never have happened. Those who plotted to make this happen will one day pay you, that's a promise I make to you! IT’S BEEN 23 YEARS SINCE WE’VE BEEN
