72 is so young.
Yeah and I'm sure all the heartache over losing her son so tragically/publicly didn't help in shaving off some years.
RIP Ms. Wallace

Voletta Wallace, the mother of the pioneering 1990s rapper The Notorious B.I.G., has died in hospice care at the age of 78.
Biggie Smalls, as he was known to fans, was one of the reigning hip-hop stars of his era until he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1997 aged 24.
His legend only grew after his death, nurtured by his mother, who successfully ran his estate throughout the remainder of her own lifetime.
By the time of Wallace's demise, her son's estate was thought to be worth $160 million, up from the $10 million it was estimated at when Biggie was killed, via TMZ.
She proved a deft steward of his legacy, even producing his acclaimed 2009 biopic Notorious, in which she was played by Angela Bassett.
Wallace died of natural causes Friday morning in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, the Monroe County Coroner confirmed to DailyMail.com.
