The event is expected to kick off with a memorial service on Friday, followed by lying in state and her burial on Saturday.

A Thanksgiving service on Sunday, June 1st, is expected to close out activities.

The preacher spoke about his mother's death and her impact on his life after her sad passing while speaking to church members during a sermon.

"Wherever my mother is, I know she is happy. She made an impact. I am popular, but my mother is more famous than I am. Her death was a beautiful one, and if anyone tells you she was bedridden before she passed, ask the person to shut up. It is appointed for every man to be born, and it is appointed for every man to die. There is no man born out of a woman who will not die." he said.
