she seems to have been through a lot already in her life, i think she's pretty grounded now.

she definitely has been through alot and people will say what they will, but he was her big brother and I believe he helped her and took care of her when she needed it and she has done that for him. Im glad theyre strong and not taking no prisoners....theyre not having that drama and I can respect that.

A rep for Prince tells TMZ, "A few hours ago, Prince was celebrated by a small group of his most beloved: family, friends and his musicians, in a private, beautiful ceremony to say a loving goodbye. Prince's remains have been cremated and their final storage will remain private.

We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time. The cause of death remains unknown and it will be at least four weeks before we receive the results of the autopsy. An announcement will be made at a future date for a musical celebration."

I don't have any issue with cremation, especially if that is what Prince wished for himself.

However, perhaps selfishly, I feel he should have been buried somewhere. It just seemed like it would be the most respectful thing to do for someone of his stature...

...but as someone else said, the public had him for nearly 40 years. His death is his own. It just feels so weird all that's left of him on this earth is ashes....

Hopelly an urn will be placed in a glass case in Paisley Park and the Park is turned into a place people can come to visit

It would be nice to be able to pay respects somewhere.

Not only has his family been strong, but I love that his fans here at the Org have been so respectful and shown so much love for him. It has been a devastating 3 days, but an enlightening 3 days...we can get along and we can continue the Purple Reign. Even though Prince didn't have living children in a way his fans on top of his music are his legacy. He lives in all of us.

The healing starts now...He has made his Journey home. Now its up to us to carry the torch on so that future generations do not forget Prince.

So happy that this was done discreetly and privately. Happy to celebrate the now immortal spirit of Prince, which was what we really were always in love with anyway. His body, was just the encasement for an inimitable force that will never, ever be duplicated.

we all need to stay strong because the next few weeks will be rough! I mean we will see all kinds of untrue stuff and maybe some shocking stuff, but we cant let it diminish our love for him.

Oh yeah, the rumor mill has been started brewing, but I will believe nothing until the autopsy report is finished and released.

yes ma'am....its gonna be tuff not to get angry cuz they have already started to try and paint him in a bad light, but Prince fans are not having that!

I have concerns that Tyka will have complete autonomy over his estate.

Yes. Well, nobody will get it's wishes fulfilled when it comes to saying goodbye to P.

We all have to respect Prince his wishes. And Tyka did what he wanted.

i feel for tyka...i lost my brother. poor thing i want to hug her

i have just learned to live with the emptiness of that loss like i will have ot learn to live with this one.

I lost my brother in February. I know how heavy that urn feels.

It's overwhelming...

So ....So sorry for your loss. It is overwhelming and I wish I could say something eloquent or healing ...xoxoxox all I have are virtual hugs...and an understanding of what its like

Tyka has had her struggles in life, but who are we to doubt that she will do right by her brothers legacy. We have really no idea what their relationship was like. If he trusted her then why shouldnt we. Now the test will be her ability to withstand the problems that 800 millions dollars will bring. We shall see.

His remains have been creamted, around 7:43pm Central tonight, & there was a private ceremony with his most beloved friends and family.

The photos in the Daily Mail UK don't fill me with confidence. To an outsider, she looks like a transient.

Quest needs to tone that ish down. so disrespectful to his family.
