Keyshia Cole Mourning the Loss Of Her Adoptive Father
The sadness of losing a parent hurts in a way that can’t be imagined. Losing two within a span of 4 months tends to place an emotional pain that can’t be matched. Singer Keyshia Cole is experiencing that pain right now as it was confirmed that after losing her mother 4 months ago, she is grieving over the loss of her adoptive father.
Over the weekend, Cole’s adoptive mother, Yvonne announced on her Facebook page that her husband, Leon Cole died due to complications from COVID-19. The news of his death comes just 4 months after Keyshia’s biological mother, Frankie Lyons passed away on her 61st birthday.
“With a heart of sadness and sincere condolences, we solicit your prayers for Dr. Yvonne Cole and the Cole family in the passing of Mr. Leon Cole, Jr. You are welcome to leave your prayers and any heart warming messages as they deal with the passion of Mr. Leon Cole Jr., due to COVID-19 complications. We appreciate the support for the family around the world. In leu of flowers, donations can be sent to $dryvonnecole. Services are pending.”
Although there has been no official statement from the reality TV star, she did acknowledge a Twitter fan page dedicated to her by saying thanks to the account for praying for her and her family.
