'Dry cry, even tears... Even my heart cry but who cares?!'
The sadness continued to ooze from the singer's fingers as she posted just minutes later: 'Words can't explain the essence of her beauty,' she said. 'You and you alone no other one.'

It was only two weeks ago that Rihanna began posting intimate photos of her spending time with her sick grandmother on Twitter.

When her grandmother took a turn for the worse last month, Rihanna cancelled all her engagements and stayed by her relative's sick bed.
The Umbrella hitmaker posted a number of photos and wrote: 'My heart smiled and cried all at once #grangranDolly'.
