The next thing the world heard was the bright light went dim and Lyric went to be with the Lord.
Celebrities, fans from all over and high-profile people mourned the loss and regretted that such a kind soul had to live such a short life.
Beyoncé joined the world in mourning and created a wonderful tribute for the late 13-year-old.
The musician had photos of Lyric compiled in a video that had her songs playing in the background.
The medley was a cocktail of Brown Skin Girl, Love on Top and Halo.
Then towards the end, Queen Bee changed her lyrics a little bit and added the young girl’s name to the song.
“I love you with all my heart,” the mother of three said emotionally.
