REAL Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has announced that her cousin, Londie, has died.
The reality star announced the news on Sunday in an Instagram post.
“‘So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.’ – E.A. Bucchianeri,” Porsha wrote.
“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 impact and value you provided all of us during your time here was tremendous, but we know that your spirit will always be with us every day guiding us through this difficult time and what’s still to come. For that, we’re eternally grateful,” she went on.
“Love you always Dear Baby Cousin. RIP @londieknowsbest.”
Porsha, 43, shared a photo of Yolanda “Londie” Favors to her Instagram with the quote, “Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, and you are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure” by Renee Wood.
A cause of death has not yet been announced.
Porsha listed Yolanda’s date of death as August 7, just a few weeks shy of her 35th birthday on August 21.
Her RHOA co-stars, family, and friends left their condolences in the comments.
Yolanda was a co-star on her cousin’s show, Porsha’s Family Matters on Bravo.
The show aired for only one season from 2021 to 2022.
Family Matters followed Porsha and her family as they navigated life and her engagement to entrepreneur Simon Guobadia.
The series only had seven episodes before Porsha took a break from RHOA.
It can be streamed on Peacock.
Londie was a private person and rarely posted on social media.
The impact and value you provided all of us during your time here was tremendous, but we know that your spirit will always be with us every day guiding us through this difficult time and what’s still to come
