Media personality, Denrele Edun pays tribute to late Goldie
Yesterday, which was St. Valentine’s day was an emotional day for media personality, Denrele Edun.
He paid tribute to his late close friend, Nigerian singer,Goldie who passed on 6 years ago, by visiting her graveside.
Sharing photos via his Instagram page, he wrote;
“I wonder what u were thinking as your life ended.
Did you wonder if your life mattered? Then let me tell u that it did. That in those few days together u touched my heart with your kindness, your laughter, your positive energy. And above all else with your beautiful, beautiful smile.
“As you were dying, did you wonder if people would remember you? Then let me tell you that I will remember you forever & hold you close in my heart.
“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 yesterday, 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.
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 all walks of life. She was as selfless as she was determined & left her mark on so many people.
Goodbye my friend. I hope that wherever u are, u finally have peace in your heart & soul.
RIP SUSAN GOLDIE HARVEY.
