Donda West Memorial Chicago

Hundreds gathered Friday at Chicago State University to pay their respects to the hip-hop star’s late mother, Donda West, who died Saturday night of complications resulting from a plastic surgery procedure performed the day before.

“This is an absolutely impossible assignment, both emotionally and practically,” said current English and Communications Department chair Dr. Brenda Eatman Aghahowa, who’s also an ordained minister, in addressing the overflow crowd in the campus auditorium.

West is scheduled to be buried Tuesday in her hometown of Oklahoma City. Kanye, who is reportedly devastated over his mom’s untimely passing, canceled his appearance Thursday at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in L.A.
