Kanye,
My wife and I don't listen to Hip Hop. Never really knew who you were. Then we saw you last year at the Ellen show with your Mom. You gave the audience a copy of your book. I read it. I was impressed (especially with your Mom's credentials and your hard work). Then along came the challenge for who will sell more albums. You reacted like the professional that you are. (nothing more to add here). You sir have a lot of class. All I can say is I met you, I liked you, and your Mom was one of the proudest woman on earth when it came to her Kanye. I lost my dad as my wife did years ago. Today, Jan 2, 2008, my wife lost her uncle. It's never easy. It was nice to have at least met you and your Mom. You don't know us and we really don't know you. Just know that our prayers are there with you. Take care Kanye and keep on hip-hopping!

Kanye, your mom will always be with you, giving you strength and support from above.
My mom passed on March 4, 2005 and I miss her EVERYDAY! The tears become less as time goes by but the empty feeling in your heart never will.
To everyone out there.....you only get ONE mother in this life, treat her with respect and tell her you love her. After she is gone there is never another chance.
God bless you Kayne. You are a wonderful son!

Kanye,
My heart goes out to you . I lost my mom 6/22/06 and I still cry daily. nothing can replace her, nothing .She was 66 years young diagnosed with cancer in February , so we had 4 short months to run around like idiots me and my 2 sisters trying to make the best of the worst situation in our lives. Life for me will never be the same, never.
I just want to say to you mourn don't let anyone take that away from you , for everytime we mention their names or cry or think of them we are honoring their memory. Your moma song touched me soooooo very deeply. I will never forget . As well as Roses. We are their roses our moma's are our angels. Peace and God Bless Donna

ELLEN and Kanye if you read this?

Very sad. Not very many people have such a relationship with their parent or parents I've noticed. It was a two way street. Both Kanye and Donda both treasured each other and that's rare. So many times I've ... well growing up... I noticed my friends didn't realize or love the way I thought they should. Growing up ward of the state I would preach that to my friends especially if they'd dish their mom or dad... I'd say... at least you have one. You better find a way to bond and respect and realize what you have... but that was like talking to a brick wall 'cause of their disgust or hatred of their parent or parents 'cause they thought they were being wronged but in reality I could see that their parents were just doing what they thought best and that they cared about their kid. Like I had a friend who's mom wouldn't let her go bike riding with me around the block...but I understood.. yeah we were frazled but .. just like that song "pave paradise put of a parking lot" you don't realize what you have till its gone. Goes with current situations too... losing your job that you hate... it may be hell but it could be alot worse. Just like some kids hate or dispise their parent or parents... its a lot better than not having one or them. I admire Kanye 'cause he's keepin on keepin on as Gladys puts it and he knows as I'm sure of it too just as the sun rises and sets that Donda is still here in Sprit just as proud as ever if not prouder... and I'm crying now... its soo sad... but loss is so DAMN hard... I know and everyone else does to. I don't know how young african children can see their villages destroyed and come out of it be interviewed and have such a beautiful smile on their face and have lost sooo much... but by the grace of God... and his love... angels must be holding them up... how else do you survive such travesties. Life? Its what you do and Kanye is a fine man.

I can't imagine the loss Kanye and his fmaily is suffering right now, yet I know that God is an Awesome God and he will give you all the strength you need to carry you through. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

LAST COMMENT SENT IN BY ME SORRY O FORGOT TO SIGN

YOU KNOW KANYE THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE HAD LOVE ONE DIE FROM SICKNESS AN THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THEY WERE HERE ONE DAY AND GONE THE NEXT, AND I STILL CAN'T BEGAN TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL INSIDE ONLY HOW I FELT. BUT WHEN THOSE DAYS COME WHEN YOU WON,T TO TURN AROUND IN A CIRCLE A SCREAM TO THE TOP OF YOUR LUNG WHAT HAPPEN I KNOW THERE IS A NAME THAT YOU CAN CALL ON (O LORD) IT IS THE SWEETEST NAME I KNOW AND IT WILL GET BETTER BY AND BY. AND WHEN YOU FINISH CALLING HIS NAME TURN AROUND AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOUR FACE IS HER FACE LOOKING BACK AT YOU. LOVE YA MUCH GOD IS WITH YOU.

Kanye,

I was so, so sorry to hear about your mother. She was a great woman who raised you very well. I am a middle school counselor and I just wish that all my students had a mother like yours. She will be with you always as a guardian angel. Keep your chin up and know that she wants you to be happy and live life to the fullest.

And I thank Ellen for giving me the opportunity to post this message to you.

With many prayers,

Angela

Kanye,

My prayers have been with you since your mother's unexpected passing. The pain of losing a mother is one that is completely incomprehensible for someone who has never experienced the loss. I lost my mother four years ago...and there is not one single day that passes by when I don't wish I could see her face, hear her laugh, see her smile, look into her eyes, hug her, feel her touch. My mother was the most amazing woman I know. As you mourn, know that it is okay to cry (it's healthy). You will experience so many emotions - from anger to plain old sadness. That's okay too. They say time heals all wounds, I can't really agree with that. Nothing will ever heal the hurt or fill the void that's felt from losing your mother, but it does, gradually, get better. Eventually, your tears won't be associated with the pain that you are feeling, but because of the joy of the simple thought of her. You are a strong and talented man, you will rise above this! Continue to press forward and keep doin' the dang thang :). Your mother was proud of you and I'm sure she would be even more proud to see watch you grow. She will always be with you. Always.

Ellen, thank you for being such a great friend to Kanye, especially during this season in his life. You are a great woman with a great big heart.

Kanye,

I am so sorry for your loss. I can honestly say I know the pain you are going through and I am crying for you. I lost my mom very unexpectedly when she was only 51, very close in age to your mom. I'm not sure if you are an only child or not, but I think you are based on the relationship it seems you two shared. I am an only child and my mom was my best friend. I lost her 5 years ago and there is no greater pain. You wonder how can the world keep going on after she's gone. It's okay to go through every feeling you're going to go through, and it's going to be raw feelings for a long time, and that's okay too. My heart, thoughts & prayers are truly with you.

Love,
Jacki

P.S. Thank you, Ellen, for allowing us to post comments and for choosing that touching clip.

Kanye,

I feel for you, I lost my Mom too 12 yrs to this day. The pain I felt was something undiscribable. I'm sorry you have to feel that pain. But I know you'll go on and use this as a teaching venue trough your lyrics and music. God Bless you, young man

KANYE YOUR MOM WILL B WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT, I HAVE MY SYMPATHY GOES TO U AND YOUR FAMILY, I BET YOUR MOTHER IS WATCHING YOU RIGHT NOW....

I would like to express my condolences to Kanye and his family. Being a Mom to one son myself (Mama's boy in training), I can't imagine how you most be coping. Ellen, thanks so much for sharing that very touching tribute and clip with us. Even though I don't personally know you I feel like I do by watching your show five days a week. Hopefully we will be seeing Kanye back on the show in the future to let us all know that he's doing fine. My heart goes out to you.

Now to express my thoughts on a post I just read!

To Sue Kaufman,

Usually I don't waste my time with people of the likes of you, but I need to speak my mind here. I am a HUGE fan of Ellen's as well as Kanye's. What you posted was of the utmost disrespect. I'm sure Kanye and his family are very proud of his mother's accomplishments. He may even be glad you brought those to our attention in honor of her. HOWEVER! he is also a friend of Ellen's and most likely was appauled by you stating she should go out and picket!
I would hope that a president of an organization would be more careful how they word things. Just in case you haven't noticed, this is the ELLEN website!!! Shame on you.

Peace out... Jules in Cali!

Ellen,

Thank you for sharing this clip of Kanye and his mother on your show singing together. I am sure this is a memory Kanye will cherish and remember his mother and those special moments shared such as this one. It is so refreshing to see a young man in the hip hop, pop culture business show such love and respect for his mother, a bond he isn't afraid to show to his fans and audience out of fear that it wouldn't be "cool." I am deeply touched by the relationship they shared and am so glad my kids & many others have a role model like Kanye who is such a wonderful positive human being. Thank you Kanye for your spirit, and much credit to your mother for raising such a great young man. Keep up the good work. REMEMBER DONDA!

Thank you Ellen,

Shelley G.

YOU ARE HIS CHILD AND HE LOVES YOU TOO AND SO DO I... TAKE CARE.. LOVE IN CHRIST; MARTHA

Dear Kanye, My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. You will forever be in my prayers. Stay strong and may God be with you.

My thoughts an prayers are with Kanye and his family. I have been thinking about what happened a lot. Though alot of us don't know Kanye personally, he has put a lot of himself into his work. So, we all feel like we know him. We have listened to him talk about his struggles, his life. This is why he has been so successful, because he is the Truth. My heart just hurts when I hear about or see people that try to be decent, but have tragic things happen to them. Out of nowhere.

I LOVE YOU KANYE! DON'T GIVE UP!
