She wrote: ‘GLORY, GLORY, GLORY to the ALMIGHTY!!! The choir of angels now have the greatest voice of all time to lead, praise and join in to sing before Jesus.’
Adding: ‘I wanted to share this photo because it shows just how soulful Aretha was without uttering a word. To say I was humbled to be in her presence would be an understatement.’

But I will say while teaching me about your life, u taught me so much about life and schooled me in mine. I will never forget those teachings.’
