Aaliyah and Left Eye - Common Ground

[counting]

One of my students told me the sad news about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes tragic death.

While driving home, I thought to myself
Aaliyah was a solo artist and she died with a group.
Lisa was in a trio and she died alone.

Then I notice a few similarities. Aaliyah and Lisa

• died in another country far away from home. (Bahamas and Honduras)
  died in a month starting with the letter A. (August and April)
  died on the 25th day of the month. (8-25-01 and 4-25-02)
  names end in the Ah sound. (Aaliyah and Lisa)

It is amazing in life Aaliyah and Lisa seemed to have very little, but with deeper digging they have so much in common.
