You were terminally ill and still fighting every day,even though people didn't know and today you passed. I'm glad you got all the love and attention you needed," she says. "I'm glad you finally defined your soulmate and although it hurts that we may never get to live the best parts of our lives together, we lived. You taught me to live. You had a big heart. Say what they may, we knew you were. Thank you, my king. I love you forever. R.I.P. @ybkvision Forever yours." Details of YBK's death are still not clear.
