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.
