My uncle is right down the hall from her, and when we laid him to rest i paid her a visit to honor her and say a prayer. She had a beautiful resting place and I love how her father is with her, I know she always gets flowers and cards from fans who go to see her, you're lucky you got to go on her birthday!
Ik this is dumb question but I have to know and I hope you don't find it disrespectful what about to ask you. Okay so I always heard if someone is buried in Mausoleum they give a family a key to few the body because it's doesn't decompose as someone that would be buried 6 feet under. For example, if someone died 30 years ago they would look the same as they did at they funeral. Is that true?
@@lala-sc3bc not true. A deceased body is a deceased body. No matter if its 6 ft under or in a mausoleum. There have been numerous times mausoleums actually leak from the dead bodies exploding due to gases releases from bodies. It happens 6 ft under as well, but no one is around to witness (no one alive anyway)
Mr. Jeff He was probably so heartbroken. ..I couldn't imagine losing a child. I'd die shortly after personally. It just brings tears to my eyes. I loved that era of her music. More than a woman was and is still my favorit.
I miss Aaliyah so much. She was a beautiful person inside and out. If It wasn't for her i wouldn't be the woman and mother i am. I went through a great deal of tough times. But listening to her music always would help me to just hear her voice made you feel like everything would be okay. Same year we lost Aaliyah i also lost my brother and had been dealing with abuse from my foster mom. That was a really bad year for me. It seemed liked everybody that i felt close to died on me. It would continue like that for me for some years. My therapy was her music and her voice. When Aaliyah left this earth i felt like i had also lost a sister and best friend. I draw many pictures of her and still have one of them that when i die my daughter will have. My daughter is only 9 and wasn't her when Aaliyah was but she loves her music thanks to me. I pray that my daughter will tell my grandkids about Aaliyah if she doesn't i will. I love you Aaliyah you have help so many and won so many hearts. I hope to see you again. One day. I know you are in heaven with my mom,dad, brother, sister, friends,cousins, aunts,uncles. I love you Aaliyah a Beautiful Angel. You are missed.
Wow, i can relate to your story. I grew up with Aaliyah's music. It was a big part of my life. 2001 was a bad year for me as well. 9/11 happened right after she passed. One of my uncle's and my grandfather died that year and I was in a really bad foster home myself. So glad that is behind me now!
So thankful and glad for both of you how you held strong in weakness. I'm sure you both have learned a lot from your experiences where they can be used to help others in similar situations. God bless to you both. 💝
Aaliyah was one of my favorite artists, she was so talented as far as dancing, singing, and acting. She was original and she seemed to be very humble. I pray that she's resting in peace.
It looks so peaceful in there. I just found out this year that her father passed away. It is so sad that her mom lost her daughter at a very young age, then she lost her husband 11 years later.
I dont like to fly ever since her passing i have been terrified to fly, but i will be visiting her gravesite one day, she changed my life, and is a huge inspiration to me. Love and miss her dearly
I flew for the first time October of last year (2015) to New York. I hadn't flown in 11 or 10 years. I was nervous as I don't know what because all I could think about was Aaliyah. I was one praying sista that day.
I remember when I was a kid traveling with my dad when he was military I used to love flying. After 2000 I didn't have to fly no where for awhile my dad last duty station was Texas and I was turning 19 in 2001 and finishing high school. After Aaliyah and 9/11 I just been afraid of flying I ended up joining the military in 2010 and of course I would have to get on a plane to travel to basic training, I was scared 8 years of not flying. When I get on a plane I still pray hard before take off.
Aaliyah was God's precious gift and was taken too soon. We love you Baby Girl and you're truly missed by your family, your closest friends and most of all your devoted fans. Rest In Paradise.
Her family decorates it different for each holiday and season and birthday, oh it’s so heartbreaking to know that her father is gone also! But I’m glad they are together😢😢😢
wow this was so beautiful im litterally im tears no one know how much i idolize this woman i envy the people that was able to even meet her there is not a generation that will go by and not know her S.I.P Baby Girl💋❤ never forgotten
She was everything to me. Her music, her style, her smile, her voice--I still cry for her too. I had all her albums and listened to them regularly. All my friends knew who my favorite singer/actress was/is. I still remember that heartbreaking day like it was yesterday. RIP baby girl. You are forever loved.
Fuck 2001. It was a horrible year for us New Yorkers. Giants lost the SB...then our beloved Aaliyah passed away..(who is in heaven shaking her head at the Gmen ) and then on top of all of that 9-11. Smh....RIP Aaliyah you are greatly missed and RIP to those who lost their lives in 9-11. And may New York Reign Forever! We will rise again!
I Remember watchin all of her videos and trying To dance just like her when I was a little girl. I use to idolize her so much I wanted to be just like her. She died a day after my birthday and I found out that she passed away at my birthday party didn't want to believe it until I saw it on the news I cried so much. I'll never forget you Aaliyah Rest In Peace gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️.
I'm 11 now and my mom listens to her all the time I never knew she died in till I found out when I was 10 I was said I love her she had a very good voice my mom told me I'm lucky that I'm listing to her just to know who she is, I'm 11 now and I'm happy I get to hear her music R.I.P Aaliyah
I wanted to be aaliyah when I was younger I would tape her music videos on my VCR and practice her dance moves I cried when she passed that was the only celebrity I cried over
I called out from work round up my siblings an my son an didn't care if I got fired just to go to see her funeral I cry every time I think about her ...An the lisa Lopez was another hard hit for us afterwards ..😢
wow I just realized that she buried 20 mins away from where I live. I will visit soon because you were truly the only celebrity I will always adore and respect #RIPBabyGirl
#QueenAaliyah you made a great unforgettable impact on the fans, the music and movie industry. Its still unreal that you’re not with us 😞 but you’re always be in our hearts and memories. Resting under her beloved dad as her protector. They took pride and dignity in her final resting place and reserved their place with her. It’s beautiful and peaceful. 🌸 💐 🌸 Well done Aaliyah. I’d like to think those cute butterflies and shag throw rug were once her princess bedroom items. Thanks for sharing and allowing us this tour.
This is the most respectful comment section I have ever seen, God bless you all. Y'all have so much love. It's not surprising since Aaliyah is the one who brought us here, the sweetest person/angel.
The day you past Princess, my oldest son was about to turn 2. I remember him running up to me when I came in from work jumpn in my lap and cryn his eyes out. You will forever be his first love........Rest Easy beautiful Angel you are loved and missed.
On my first visit in NYC I had a honour to visit Aaliyah's grave. It was such an emotional moment... I remember being so tense when we arrived to Ferncliff and the moment I saw her name on the wall I couldn't stop crying..But since this visit I found peace and somehow managed to accept that she was gone. Rest In Peace Babygirl!
I feel sorrow n pain 😢☹😭😔😖 tears r flowing. Such a beautiful pure young soul. Full of hopes dreams plans for the future. She was a great impact influence to our generation n perfect example a legend that defined beauty class unique sound style. Gone but never forgotten!! Aaliyah, Your always in mind. Hope to visit you one day. Keep resting easy babygirl. We miss you tenderly and deeply. R. I. P. 🙏🙏
I remember being a kid and seeing people wear shirts and purses, (everything actually), with "baby girl" on it. It was like a fashion statement back in the day. I even had some blouses with it. So she made that phrase popular. Thats something i never knew. Love you Aaliyah.
She was something special that's for sure! May she rest in everlasting peace no more pain nor agony this doesn't repair the holes in the hearts of her fans but life is fleeting cherish it rest easy Aaliyah rest easy ♡♡♡♡♡
Yesterday in the car on the way to work & coming home from work, I played Aaliyah's CD in my car. I miss her so much! My family & I danced to her music at birthday parties. I've seen cousins make up dance routines at birthday parties to Back & Forth. I went to the night club & me & my friends danced to her then new song, Try Again in 2000. Thanks to MAC cosmetics because of the Aaliyah line, the new generation will learn & discover what made her a music & fashion icon of the 1990's & early 2000's. RIP to the Princess of R & B.
I still cry about this, we were so excited for her to come back from the Bahamas to premiere her 2 new videos, as a child you never would've thought that you'd never see your idol again . 😿😿😿
Thank you for sharing this with us. As a big Aaliyah fan, when she died I followed all of the coverage regarding her death but this is the first time I've seen what her final resting place looks like.
Fortunately aaliyah's family has been very reserved since her death. They don't allow the use of her image for anything and they don't want tgat record labels make albums with unpublished songs. Timbaland and Missy Elliot have said they have hard disks full of unpublished aaliyah's songs but they respect the family decision to not speculate on her death.
I could never go to her grave cause I would just drop to the floor crying as if I really knew her personally. I just couldn't do it, the way they did her was so wrong and and life time bs Wendy Williams call herself throwing together pissed me of. RIP AALIYAH TO YOU AND YOUR FATHER😘😘😘😘. I don't care what is said about you I'm going to always rock with you and you 😘😘.💯. By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
