A special memorial service will be held on April 15th to commemorate the life of  Cedella Booker, mother of international reggae icon Bob Marley. The service will be held at the Garden House of the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens in Coral Gables, Florida. It begins at 7:00 p.m.

She is survived by son Richard Booker, daughter Claudette Livingston, nephew Jimmy Brown, 14 grandchildren and 49 great-grandchildren. The family is requesting that donations be made to the Cedella Marley Booker Academy, via the Nine Miles Charitable Foundation in Florida.

Fresh off a scintillating performance on the Sister to Sister mediathon yesterday, songstress Sophia Brown is now turning her attention towards the video shoot for her new popular single, 'I'm a Rose'.

"The video will be directed by Dexter Pottinger, and will be shot at the ADVIDCO. sound stage on Lindsay Crescent. I am looking forward to working with Dexter on this shoot because he has an amazing command of detail and a knack for making women look beautiful so it should be a fun shoot," Sophia told One876Entertainment.com.

In the meantime, Sophia's previous single, 'I'm A Rose' jumped to #11 on the Jamaica Music Countdown charts.
