Even though her son was a multi-millionaire, Benjamin-Hodo was down-to-earth and never considered fame or fortune to be her life's goal.

"I'm an average mother," she previously told Talk! with Audrey. "Happy days, sad days. Some days are stressful and some days are peaceful. Being a mother is a normal thing... I keep asking God to keep me focused because it's not the star that is really enhancing who I am, it's what he carries - his spirit, his mind - and that is what I'm so grateful for."

As for how her advice for other mothers, she said: "It's got to be about the love. And love doesn't have any conditions. Because if you have been raised -- and everybody's morals are different, and their values are different -- whatever they are or [whoever] has made it for you, pass it on and stick to those morals."

Instead of flowers, the family is asking for support of The Starlight Camp, according to Billboard Magazine. She founded the camp with the New Morning Light Baptist Church for underprivileged children.
