In her eulogy, London read out the sweet text message she wrote to Nipsey on Jan. 21.
āI want you to know I feel real joy in my heart when Iām around you. I feel safe around you. Protected. Like a shield over me when youāre around, I am totally myself when Iām with you,ā London had written. āYouāve made me into more of a woman. Youāve given me an opportunity to really love a man,ā said London, who was dressed in all white with black sunglasses.
After reading the text, Lauren continued saying;, āHis soul was majestic. He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light. He was brilliant. He researched everything, completely self-taught, constantly seeking knowledge.ā
āErmias, Iām in bed with you while youāre sleeping and I wanted to tell u something. I want you to know I feel real Joy in my heart when Iām around you. I feel safe around you. Protected. Like a shield over me when youāre around. I am totally myself with you (which is prob why Iām annoying) because i donāt wear a cool mask anymore lol.ā
āYouāve made me into more of a woman. Youāve given me an opportunity to really love a man. Youāve been with me while Iāve been sick. Through my fears . U have encouraged me and inspired me to reach higher. Iāve learned so much more about myself with you. Youāve been my turn up and my church. I wouldnāt want to go thru this journey with anyone but you. I look up to you in a lot of ways and strive to educate myself more like you have. And when weāre at oddsā¦.i feel defeated and sad, knowing we are so much better than that.ā
