16. God bless you Kanye and your family. I am so sorry to hear of your lost. I know your soul is hurting right now. The only healing for you right now and months to come is to trust in God. Love, HC

17. Obviously, this is a tragedy, but *IF* she had not gone in for these highly unnecessary, disgustingly vain ((cosmetic)) procedures, she'd more than likely *STILL* be alive today.

Sorry, no dice. No sympathy. Well... not much, anyway.

18. My beloved dog had a "simple procedure" to remove stones from his bladder. He died the day after surgery, in my arms at home. The procedure went well- no one knows why he died.

IF IT'S ISN'T NECESSARY, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T DO IT!!!

19. sounds like a mommy make over to me. They are really pusing those at plastics surgeons office toward the baby boomer set

20. That's unfortunate. But I really wish people would stop getting plastic surgery unless you're disfigured in an accident or something.

21. I don't particularly care for Kanye, and his music isn't my favorite genre. Okay, I hate it, but nevertheless, I think his mom was pretty and it's sad to hear of her death.
From Fox News, Roger Friedman's column:

"Condolences to Kanye West on the sudden passing of his mother, Dr. Donda West, chairwoman of the English Department at Chicago State University.

Contrary to his stage persona, Kanye is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. He was raised right by his mother, and I know he is grieving. …"

22. I mean this publicly and purely from the bottom of my heart:

TO STEVE-O who posted at 3pm on 11/12

I hope the next time you leave your home, you get shot in the face. Hopefully you don't die instantly so you can suffer. That's what filty, disgusting, trashy people like you deserve.

23. May she rest in peace. I hope that the family will find strength in Him.

To everyone who posted callous comments - I hope that when you lose someone everyone that you know and don't know is as heartless to you as you are being to the West family.

24. I could give a RATS ASS about Kayne's grieving!

I still hate him...

25. What is wrong with people??? A son just lost his mother. A mother who loved him, cared for him, only wanted him to better himself and when he did cherished his accomplishments. Regardless of what she procedures she was having done. How would YOU feel if you lost YOUR mother or father or son or daughter??? Talk about insensitive. People should be ashamed of themselves.

26. Dr. 90210 - I wonder if Dr. Rey did the surgery.

27. It's funny because I don't know her - and Kanye is a butt-hole.

28. This is truly a tragedy - but one that certainly could have been avoided. Given the amount of $$$ that her son is making, and the fact that she was an intelligent, well-educated woman - you'd think that the surgery, place, time, surgeons, etc. would have been top-notch. Although, one can never tell how someone will react to anesthetic, that's why they ask so many questions before putting someone under. Knowing that these rich and powerful people have the capabilities to see the best doctors, for whatever they need, full tests of how she might respond to a multiple-procedure surgery should have been checked into ahead of time...and it's possible, I suppose, that they were...I'm a firm believer in WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS UP - YOUR NUMBER IS UP, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it...God obvioulsy didn't want her to have the surgery, and at almost 60 - who cares what you look like, eat healthy and exercise regularly - that's what will keep you going.

29. You all are a mean group of people. How can you talk about that man's mother like that? Can you imagine what he's going through. It doesn't matter how she died, it's tragic just the same.
Goodness, have some respect even if he is a jerk.

30. I heard that KAYNE is going to put a pair of his white sunglasses on her before she is buried.

How touching!!
