I had the same conversation with a few of my friends today as well. We should not mourn her loss. Aaliyah lived a good life. She had opportunities and saw things that most people her age will never see. And she is now entertaining a more appreciative audience. I believe Aaliyah's passing was to serve as a reminder. It does n't matter how rich you are, or how beautiful you are, we must live our lives to the fullest. 'Cause tommorrow sure ain't promised.

 I too was saddened by the sudden death of Aaliyah. While I don't think she was a fabulous artist she was nonetheless a beautiful human being and a child of God. In other e-groups I belong to people have been talking about how this tragedy made them realize that tomorrow isn't promised, etc... Personally that is something I've known for a long time. I live in a city with a very high crime rate and constantly hear stories of babies being shot or mauled by dogs.Some neighborhoods have as many as 2 shootings a week. While I am bothered by Aaliyah's death it is IMPORTANT to remember those who pass away every day and don't get their life history's on CNN or MTV. And what about the other people on the plane with Aaliyah... Death at any age or social status is hard to deal with...Just some food for thought.
