Rihanna Mourns the Death of Her Grandmother
Pop singer Rihanna is mourning the loss of her beloved grandmother, Clara Dolly Braithwaite, 80, who passed away Saturday following a long battle with cancer.
For months Rihanna tweeted photos of her ailing grandmother whom she affectionately called “grangranDolly”.
Last night the 24-year-old Barbadian singer shared her grief with her immense following on Twitter.
“Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you,” she tweeted.
Friends and celebrities have expressed their condolences to Rihanna, including Chris Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, who tweeted: “Angel May God be with you and your family in your time of sorrow. Love you Angel.”
Rihanna tweeted her reply: “@mombreezy thank you! Love u mama.”

WOW, my prayers go out to her and her family. When the grandmother (usually the backbone of the family) dies most families either get closer or drift further apart. I pray as you say Sandra, she finds peace and gets whatever helps she needs to help her through her grief.
R.i.P grangranDOLLY”
the will be able to find solace.
May The lord keep his mighty hands on this Family,Although Noone will Leave this world alive,
Losing a loved one is Never easy nor can you prepare

Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning.
I struggle everyday with the thought of my Granny parting this life. I hope RHianna finds solace.
It amazes me that this thread only has 18 comments, but would have 220 negative comments if it was bout her love life, outfit, or etc.
Condolences to Rhi Rhi
@Sharnell
