Denrele, who reportedly held Goldie as she breathed her last said in his tribute 

“I would move mountains, I would break ceilings to sell your legacy, you are the best friend I forever had. I can hear you say to me, do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand on my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die.”
