Aaliyah vigils...

[Miss Arnold]

Although I have never been to one, I was just thinking about how fast time flies and although there was a gathering for her birthday two months ago in 5 short months their will be another gathering at ferncliff in her memory. Has anybody here been at one and can share some memories about years past what it has been like to attended them and what you guys do and have you met her parents and or Rashad.

Aaliyahslegacy79 has been to the vigils, maybe if she sees this thread she will share with us I'm sure.

Yeah, I have been to all (excpet for one).

The first one we were crazy, packed into Times Square with our posters and ererything. The Jan. after that Jan.03 her parents held a memorial mass for her (the smae place where her funeral mass took place) and her family was there and met fans. (not so much her mom, after the mass her mom went into the limo) but Liyah's peeps were there including dame.

The rest of the vigils have been @ ferncliff. Her first resting place was ok (her grandmother is buried right around the same area) and later her grandfather passed.

The place she was moved to is ok as well.

That was a pic from this Jan.'s vigil.

Some past vigils included candle light vigils, prayer services, people talking about their experiences meeting her, come people shared in their life how Liyah as touched them. We watch her videos, and clips from her movies.

And there are also segements where the peeps are broken up into teams and we answer questions about her movies, videos etc.

We also dedicate a part of the vigil to read poems/letters from fans all over the world.

It truly is a moving experience, to remember Liyah and all of her hard work...

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sooo much for sharing.. =)

Does anyone know why she was moved?

[aaliyahslegacy79]

the way it was her grandmother and grandfather were close but I guess the way they have it now, the wall has about 7 slots, so that way they can all be together!

[Journey2herpast]

so are they gonna move her grandmother and grandfather over on the side where she is eventually?
