Former Big Brother housemate and friend of the late Goldie Harvey, Prezzo has taken to his Facebook page to express his pain by writing a poem in honour of the late pop star, who passed away on Thursday Night.
He wrote:
“God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be
So he put his arms around you, and whispered come with me
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away
Although we love you deeply, we could not make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us…
He only takes the best”
GOLDIE LAID TO REST:
The event took place at Vaults and Gardens in Ikoyi, Lagos on Monday morning.
The burial date was fixed after her husband Andrew Harvey arrived in the country on Saturday night.
Although an announcement revealing burial arrangements of the late singer indicated that no recording device was allowed to the event, pictures of the remains have gone viral on the internet.
Goldie died shortly after she returned from the US where she attended the 2013 Grammy Awards.
She was said to have been rushed to the hospital after she complained of a migraine and then gave up the ghost in the hands of her friend and Channel O Veejay, Denrele Edun, who was in the hospital with her.
DENRELE'S TRIBUTE
With so much pain, Denrele gave a tribute to the late music star.
“My super star friend sways away and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says ‘she’s gone’…Gone where?
“Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as gorgeous now as when last I saw her.
“Her slightly disappearing figure and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
“And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she’s gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout; There she comes! That is what dying is – an horizon and just the limit of our sight.”
GOOD BYE GOLDIE HARVEY REST IN PEACE
