Natina Tiawana Reed (October 28, 1980- October 26, 2012) lost her life after being struck by a car while crossing the street. When I came across this tragic news on the internet back in 2012, I couldn't help but feel sad about her death. I just hated to see another young, gifted soul taken away before her time. The thing that I found so sad was that Reed died two days before her thirty second birthday. Besides that, she also left behind a young son, who was only 10 at the time of her death, with rapper, Kurupt.

The thing that many should remember about Reed is her great, outgoing personality and love of life. She was a young woman who had achieved a lot during her short thirty one years on this earth. In my opinion, her greatest accomplishment was having her son, Tren, who has a strong resemblance to her, especially in the eyes. She's now an angel in heaven with God. Rest in peace, Natina.
