He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him.

You and Baby Girl will meet again with all the beautiful people we have lost.
Will never forget your kindness.
Blessings to your family.”
And she signed it, “Aaliyah’s Mom.”
The tribute was fitting, given the posthumous tribute DMX paid to Aaliyah after her untimely death.
He used his 2002 music video to say: “Dearest, sweet Aaliyah.
I have trouble accepting the fact that you’re gone.
So I won’t.
It’ll be like we went for a while without seeing each other.
But I can understand why God would’ve wanted you close to him.
Because you truly were an angel on Earth.
And in my own special way, I love you.
I miss you” (viaBillboard).
