We all knew how amazing an artist she was, and her love of animals and the LGBTQ community…. Her support was epic
But to leave money to a cause, and even the guy running the place didn’t know…. She’s just gone up in my already estimable admiration. No publicity, no press, no Twitter announcements…. Just something she did privately without pomp or circumstance.
Epic lady whose like we shall never see again. ❤
