    Grew up with Tina‘s music in middle school where I was horribly bullied, but every day I went back home and listened to her music and other 80s music. She exhibited strength and dynamite in her voice, and I didn’t quite know it at that time, but listening to her did help me go through those days because I do remember as I look back now feeling hopeful. Gloria gave such a loving tribute.

    I've always been a fan of Gloria. Such a great actress and artist, whose dedicated and sincere to her craft, highly underrated in my opinion. You can tell by her demeanor that she's really grieved by Tina's death. Tina left a great legacy, a legacy of endurance. Rest Well Queen 👑

    🥺Going through a dark pit currently, along with heartbreak grieving my recent loss of my beloved adopted mom, along with my biological dad. 😢💔😰 Feeling isolated and alone parentless in this heavy pit of grief and massive loss. I appreciate this little droplet of lite, encouragement, if not tiny dose of wisdom. At a time I’m feeling completely defeated, and hopeless along with not wanting to be here.💔🌏💔 Thank you kindly Gloria, for your openness in the midst of your own grieving, rest in paradise continuously to the incredible inspiring, & trailblazing Tina Turner as well. 🌸😥🕊️

    Wonderfull. Amazeing story of how Gloria went from ER to going on tour with Tina Turner. What she said about focusing on your intentions is very powerfull and true. Keep you eye on the prize and don't worry about how you will reach your goal. Just take action and keep going. If u fall down get back up and keep going. Eventually you will get there. I live my life the same way
    and I beleive in this principal. Tina left us a very powerfull Legacy that will live on...Love & Light.
