On January 16th, 1979, a star was born.
Debuted at 15, but "AGE AINT' NOTHIN BUT A NUMBER" when its time to make the paper. On August 25th, 2001, a princess departed
us. Her love was truly "ONE IN A MILLION". Her devotion to R&B is what we'll miss. Her fans were the "ONES SHE GAVE HER
HEART TO". She gave us motivation to always "TRY AGAIN". She went to the Bahamas to "ROCK DA BOAT", 9 on a small plane, dead
on the Abaco plains. She was "MORE THAN A WOMAN", though she met her fate at 22. She's walking threw the white gates asking
us not to weep. Instead, remember her charming heart & leave the crash in the past. She was an angel sent from The Almighty
& left her message "WE NEED A RESOLUTION". We believe her life was not finish but our father has called upon his daughter.
'Til we meet again Aaliyah, R.I.P. Let us remember your beautiful grace & charm. GOODBYE & GOD BLESS! Love your enormous
pool of fans. ONE! Thanks to D. Makonnen.

Old Glory (U.S.) closed her eyes for six
and a half years. On September 11th, 2001, she was waken by the smell of smoke and cries of people. What was once a landmark
for 31 years, is now the grounds of a horrific terrorist act. The bravest & finest worked 24/7 to help find the decease
and the possible living. Families waited for their loved ones to walk through their front doors, as we sat and waited for
God to make our lives whole again. "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they
that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see GOD". Matthew 5:3,4,8. Lord Jesus, we know that you are looking upon our
nation. We ask you to heal all the wounds that remain in so many hearts today. We ask you to help the decease be remembered,
and to watch after all that stand before you now. Christ, forgive the decease for their sins. You died for our sins Lord,
many of us don't deserve the good you have done, but we know that you are a good God, and you will not disown anyone that
comes before you for forgiveness. Lord, open your eyes, your heart and your arms. Lord Jesus, this nation calls upon you in
this time of war and crisis. In the name of Jesus, hear our prayers this day and every day. AMEN.
