Smokey's tribute was the most heart touching of everything that has been said and done today. It brought tears to my eyes. You can feel when people lose a good friend. That tribute was authentic. God bless you Mr. Robinson. You made us realize just how much you are going to miss her. This tribute showed that you and she were really good friends. May God wrap His arms of affection around you as he mends your broken heart. Thank you. #RestInPeaceQueenOfSoul
