AceShowbiz - Porsha Williams and her family are reeling from the heartbreaking news of the passing of her cousin, Yolanda "Londie" Favors. Known for her appearances on Porsha's Bravo spinoff show, "Porsha's Family Matters," Londie left an indelible mark on fans and family alike.
Williams took to Instagram to announce the tragic loss, writing, "Love you always Dear Baby Cousin [broken heart emoji] RIP."
Londie Favors was born on August 21, 1989, and passed away on August 7 this year at the young age of 34. The news has left fans and family in shock, remembering her for her infectious spirit and memorable presence on screen.
Londie's impact extended beyond reality TV. She was an accomplished designer and entrepreneur, running her own company, Elizabeth Lacenia Designs (ELD). A psychology graduate from the University of Georgia, Londie had a multifaceted career that included roles as a Special Events Coordinator and Director for a non-profit organization.
Porsha's tribute to Londie was heartfelt. She began with a poignant quote from E.A. Bucchianeri, "So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love."
She added, "Londie - you were our best friend, our sister, our aunt, our cousin, and so much more. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure."
The tribute highlighted the deep emotional bond the family shared and the profound impact Londie had on their lives.
The heartfelt condolences didn't just come from family. Williams' co-stars from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta]" also expressed their sorrow. Phaedra Parks commented, "My sincerest condolences to you and your family. There is an old adage 'only the good die young' and Londie was better than good she was great!"
Cynthia Bailey noted Londie's ever-kind presence, writing, "She was always so kind, sweet and full of love. she will be missed by all." Kandi Burruss added, "She was a beautiful person! I'm sorry for your loss."
While Londie was well-loved, her relationship with Porsha wasn't without its challenges. Londie once worked as Porsha's assistant but was fired after a mishap involving baby oil and a Chanel bag. This incident created friction between the cousins, further exacerbated when Londie confronted Porsha over being let go from another job at a restaurant owned by Porsha's ex-fiance. Their relationship became strained, but fans remember Londie for her courage and candor.
The family's grief is palpable, and fans are joining in to send their love and prayers during this difficult time. Losing a loved one, especially someone so young, is a profound tragedy that shakes the very foundation of family and friendship.
As Porsha and her family navigate this sorrow, it's clear that Londie's memory will continue to be a guiding force, and her contributions, both professionally and personally, will always be remembered.
