Wiz Khalifa Mourns the Death of Older Sister

Our condolences go out to Wiz Khalifa, as the Pittsburgh rapper lost his older sister earlier this week. Dorien “Lala” Thomaz passed away on Monday (Feb. 20) with their mother by her side. She was only 32 years old.

Today (Feb. 24), Wiz took his Twitter account to thank his fans for their support through this difficult time. “The loss of my sibling has been the hardest thing Ive had to deal with but with your prayers and well wishes my family will get though this,” reads the tweet.

Last Wednesday, Wiz’s mother posted a picture of Lala’s obituary pamphlet onto her Instagram. She captioned the pic with a quote from Robert Harling’s book Steel Magnolias, reading, “”… there was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh God(dess), I realized as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.”

The pamphlet requests that the funeral services for Lala remain private. Her cause of death has yet to be disclosed.
