A private graveside service for Ali was held at Louisvilles Cave Hill Cemetery. His interfaith memorial service at the KFC Yum! Center, where former President Bill Clinton, actor Billy Crystal and TV journalist Bryant Gumbel are scheduled to speak, his happening now.
Laila Ali, who has spent time in Atlanta hosting the annual Trumpet Awards, was the portrait of grace amid sorrowduring this short interview with Access Hollywood.
My father touched so many people and its more evident now than ever, she said. Im trying to make sure Im in the moment.Its a sad day of course. Were laying our father to rest for good. Even though Im happy hes not struggling any more with Parkinsons and I know hes in a better place and its part of the circle of life, it still is a hard thing to do.
