Kanye,
I was LITERALLY just listening to your album “LATE REGISTRATION” on Sunday, marveling at your genius, your articulation, at the wonderful job that your Mother did raising such a talented man when I got in my car I heard the news and I was devastated for you. My heart goes out to you dear. As a young woman of 18 yrs, I lost my father suddenly from a car crash, I thought I would never get over it. I didnt think I could survive the world without him there to love and protect me. Then I realized that he’d ALWAYS be with me, in my smile, my mannerisms, the things he taught, like how to be strong. And I had a responsibility to him, to show my love by continuing to be the person he raised me to be.
Be strong young brother, Donda will be with you always, watching you from above.

Very sad. I heard Ms. West passed from complications of a tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery, read about it in the Daily News. Here’s the link: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2007/11/13/2007-11-13_kanye_wests_mom_dies_after_cosmetic_surg.html

very sad and tragic and all. may not be relevant right now but how ugly she is on picture! man! at first sight i thought she was a drag-queen! anyway…Sad!

my condolences goes out to Kanye and his family. i can’t imagine what it feels like to lose a mother, especially when you have a special bond. this is just terrible period, regardless of what she died from.
