Visiting Aaliyah - January 16th 2015

[@sweetcandyyams]

The fact she accomplished so much before the age of 22 amazes me.

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!

[@yolondacoachman6989]

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?

[@jenp.6682]

@@yolondacoachman6989 that's false.

[@yolondacoachman6989]

Je-yah Paraiso thank you so much!

[@lala-sc3bc]

Yolonda Coachman it won’t look the same, but since it’s cooler in the mausoleum the body does decompose slower

[@antonecruz8165]

@@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)

[@misslara805]

Aww her gravesite is beautiful 💖🌸 I never forget about Aaliyah we all love her and miss her

[@indeadorsey471]

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.

[@Airwindy89]

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!

[@saiyongdawn7756]

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. 💝

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.

[@RosefromPittsburgh]

This made me cry. At least her and her dad is together. It's been 15 years and it seems like yesterday. So sad. Thanks for posting !

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.

[@kyrataylor6330]

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

[@wealthywoman8050]

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.

[@layah28]

Kyra Taylor The first time I flown a plane Aaliyah's death and plane crash images kept popping in my mind. i was terrified.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

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.

[@lefez9015]

The best thing to do when flying or booking a flight is NOT to think about Aaliyah. That can be scary.

[@basketballgaming4522]

I'm scared to fly airplanes and now even go on a helicopter And you know why

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.

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.
