Popular compare and red carpet host, Denrele Edun has taken time out to send a touching tribute to the late singer, Goldie Harvey.
Recall that the singer and MC were close friends before her passing. It was even reported that Denrele was with the singer during her last moments. Six years after her death, the MC has not forgotten his good friend, Goldie.
Denrele Edun spends time at Goldie’s graveside
Yesterday, the 14th of February, the effeminate celebrity once again, took out time to remind everyone of whom the singer was.
This was in a lovely tribute, where he attempted to put her life into words.
He wrote;
I wonder what u were thinking as ur life ended.
Did you wonder if ur life mattered? Then let me tell u that it did. That in those few days together u touched my heart with your kindness, ur laughter, ur positive energy. And above all else with ur beautiful, beautiful smile.
As u were dying, did u wonder if people would remember u? Then let me tell u that I will remember u forever & hold you close in my heart.
On how the reality of her death dawned on him, he wrote:
Morning of the 14th;
I wake after a night of crying, a day of loss, & I have one moment…one beautiful, solitary moment when everything is right in the world because THAT is the moment before the moment when reality crashes into me like one of those displaced trailers in the wrong lane speeding!
And I’m suddenly awake & without air.
I started to write about her ystdy, but found myself at such a loss.
For 36 hours, I’ve been struggling to find the right words to describe my friend – to tell you about her, to explain why this loss is so tragic. And, I can’t seem to find them. Any death of someone so young is a tremendous loss, I know.
GOLDIE was special. Dare I say extraordinary.
How do I describe the most selfless person I know? How do I explain the multitude of ways she made me better, or how she never missed an opportunity to encourage me, tell me she loved me or supported what I was doing? How do I begin to recount the dozens of organizations she helped, the people she inspired, the lives she touched?
You were a treasure, my friend.
Denrele says his last tribute to Goldie inspired a song from someone.
When I last wrote about GOLDIE, it inspired music from someone. That’s the kind of soul stirring she motivated.
She was THAT good.
I am better for having known this beautiful soul. I will always miss her.
For me GOLDIE was a fiery spark full of love & determination. She was beautiful, smart, challenging, empathetic & encouraging. She always looked to grow; to better herself as a person and a professional. She was aware & spiritual – A great listener with time for friends from al walks of life. She was as selfless as she was determined & left her mark on so many ppl.
Goodbye my friend. I hope that wherever u are, u finally hv peace in ur heart & soul.
RIP SUSAN GOLDIE HARVEY
