One of Rihanna's biggest fans Jasmina Anema passed away last night from pneumonia after she was admitted to the NYU Langone Medical Center for troubled breathing. The six year old suffered from leukemia, a condition that went into a short remission after Rihanna found her a compatible bone marrow donor for a transplant last year, but then returned. The singer has released the following statement:
"I am increcibly hearbroken that Jasmina has passed away. Whe was such a brave and speical child. She showed more strength and spirt than many adults I have met. I feel blessed that I was able to have her in my life, and know that through her example she has saved many lives. She was truly an angel on earth."
Here is Rihanna with the pint sized fan and the girl's adoptive mother Thea Anema at a Rated R signing at Best Buy on November 23, 2009
