Several
vigils this week will be held this week in the Hudson Valley to honor
Westchester's own DMX.
City
and community leaders will host a gathering at the 4th Street park in Mount
Vernon from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
The rapper, born Earl Simmons,
died Friday after being on life support for over a week at White Plains
Hospital due to a heart attack.
There have been many prayer vigils and memorials near
his childhood home in Yonkers, in White Plains where he was hospitalized, and
one last Wednesday in Mount Vernon, where he was born.
Fans and friends had left flowers, candles and
messages for the celebrity, hoping he’d pull through.
