A memorial service was held Friday at Word of Faith Cathedral in Austell, Georgia, to honor Grammy-nominated R&B singer Angie Stone, who passed away at 63 following a tragic car accident.
Stone was killed on March 1 when the cargo van she was traveling in flipped over and was struck by a truck south of Montgomery, Alabama. The other passengers survived the crash.
Fans, family, and fellow artists gathered at the Atlanta-area church to pay tribute to Stone, whose gold casket was surrounded by red roses. The service, led by senior pastor Bishop Dale Bronner, opened with a message of faith and remembrance. "God is good even when life is not, and so we celebrate the life of our sister that has been well lived," Bronner said.
Rest in Peace, love.

A second memorial service is planned for Saturday at First Nazareth Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina, Stone’s hometown.
Among those in attendance on Friday was filmmaker Tyler Perry, who was scheduled to speak. The service also featured performances by gospel and R&B artists Kirk Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Keke Wyatt, Tamela Mann, and the Walls Group.
Stone, known for hits like No More Rain (In This Cloud) and Wish I Didn’t Miss You, was a celebrated singer, songwriter, and actress. Her impact on the R&B and neo-soul genres continues to be felt by fans worldwide.
