awww thats terrible i feel so bad for him!
My prayers go out to him, this is prolly very hard for him.
This is rather shocking news. She’s relatively young. And what a mom! I feel so bad for him.
Thats terrible,R.I.P MRS WEST………..
i hope he gets his privacy, i’ll keep him in my prayers.
aww. thats terrible.
I hope he can get through this.
My condolences to Kanye on this terrible lost, to lose a Mother at such a young age. RIP Mrs. West.
condolences to kanye.
OMG, my hearth goes to Kanye and the West family. :( , I never knew her, but I feel like I have a stone on my heart. I heard on tv that she died while having Plastic Surgery. I wonder,if it is true, what could went so wrong to have her die. When you think about it, in the year 2007 you could never imagined that people can pass away because of plastic surgery, but it can happen. I am thinking over my previous comment when I talked about Calista Flockhart ( that today is her birthday but she attended some dining looking like a 83 years old woman http://www.7gfb.com/?p=371 , not 43 how old she really is). Makes you afraid to even think about plastic surgery, if people who pay dozens of bucks die on the table… then what could happen to the rest of us. Again, I am sorry for Kanye’s mother, my heart goes to his family. :(
My deepest condolences to Kanye.
i am sure many prayers will be offered up for the whole family. God bless.
Thats so sad, but it also a part of life.

now i read this on another site, but they are saying that the cause of death was due to a tummy tuck and breast comestic surgery..this site is known to make up stuff and lie, however if this is true it is even more sad because she was going in for something that is considered a routine procedure these days. RIP Ms. West

My prayers are with Kanye and his family. I know he truly loved his mother. Peace
Sorry to hear this. I learned it from his blog on the celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com.
Oh this is truly awful. In every song he spoke of her and he loved her so much. I remember his performance on Oprah and bringing her out. It’s so sad.
R.I.P MS.WEST
AND KANYE KEEP YO HEAD UP
My condolences to his family. May she rest in peace.Amen
ohmigod, his mom looks like she’s in a very good shape and healthy, if the rumors are true about the tummy tuck and breast surgery that causes her death, did i hear a lawsuit? ohmigod, Kanye will triple the richer he is.
omg, poor kanye :[
i hope he is okay i bet he is gonna be in tears for like months thinking about his mom :[ omg i hope he is okay i feel so sad now ugh i hate this why him..
VERY sad. She was young too, only in her 50s. My thoughts are with kanye and his family.
omg, that’s so horrible =(
i will definitely have him and his family in my prayers tonight
There was something about her spirit that made me smile every time I saw her. Through her son’s triumps and mistakes, she was there to beam and scold, exemplifying what a real mother is. When I heard the news, I felt myself mourn for those who depended on her advice and support. May Mrs. West rest in peace, and may KanYe carry on her legacy.
“My mama told me go to school, get your doctorate Somethin to fall back on, you could profit with But still supported me when I did the opposite…Hey mama, I wanna scream so loud at you, cause I’m so proud of you…” Thanks Mrs. West, wherever you may be, for giving us such a non-conforming, innovative, and intellectual [as ego-headed as he may be =)] individual. PEACE!
How sad and unexpected. God bless such an accomplished and intelligent and lovely woman. May she rest in peace. My condolences to Kanye - he always talked about her. And she is so young! God bless her soul.
By the way, she was not just and English Professor - she was Chair of the English Department. Really accomplished and smart woman. Bless her.
wow..His mom is so well educated, its a pity to passed away only at 58years old.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! … Im so choked up right now !
My heart goes out to Kanye and the family.
I cannot begin to imagine how devastating this must be for him, they seemed to be very close and I always admired the relationship he had with her.
R.I.P Donda West
