My whole life has been about respect of others...to erase a life for NO REASON is nothing we should ever accept.... please let's learn to love and accept others. We don't have to agree on everything, but peace is life's greatest gift. Choose peace and happiness will surround you.

🕯️We honor the soulful genius of R&B legend D’Angelo, who left us at 51. His music—from Brown Sugar to Voodoo—carried love, pain, and joy, touching hearts like few ever could. The world feels a little dimmer, but his spirit will sing in us forever. Rest in peace, Michael

No, really, read that again. This is how advanced his dementia is right now and nobody's talking about it.
