Tameka Raymond son Kile Glover, 11, was laid to rest at his funeral in Atlanta today after passing last weekend from a horrific jetski accident that left him brain dead...
Mourners gathered to say goodbye to Kile Glover, the 11-year-old son of Tameka Raymond and television executive Ryan Glover.
Wieuca Road Baptist Church was the site of the service which was arranged by Phaedra Parks and Watkins Funeral Home. Kile was dressed in a white suit with sunglasses. His body was reportedly escorted to the service via a white horse-drawn carriage.
Inside the funeral program, family shared a personal postcard Kile sent from his iPhone while on vacation. "Hello from paradise, wishing you were here," it read. "Our vacation is everything we have hoped for and more. We're also excited to come home to family and friends." The young boy was also honored with a video titled, "A Beautiful Mind."
Patti Labelle, Fred Hammond, former Mayor Bill Campbell, current Mayor Kasim Reed, Ambassador Andrew Young and producer Jonte Austin were all on hand. Also in attendance were two of the Real Housewives of Atlanta; Phaedra Parks who fulfilled her duties with Willie Watkins funeral services, as well as Nene Leakes, escorted by her “estranged” husband Gregg.
Kile’s stepfather Usher Raymond was at first rumored to be in attendance, but later confirmed missing from the ceremony. Kile’s biological father Ryan Glover was there.
Yesterday, Tameka spoke for the first time about her son's passing...
She thanked everyone for their support, and said she would be starting a fund to honor Kile by increasing water safety awareness and promised his death would not go in vain (click Pink for more).
