I remember the last time we were together. She and Aunt Debbie had come out to visit me to try out my airbrush makeup system. She told me to “make her beautiful” that clearly was not needed as she was a beautiful woman both inside and out! She was such a huge supporter of all of my business ventures. She always dropped in on my Facebook lives to keep me company while I did my makeup tutorials . We enjoyed our talks together over the phone . One of the sweetest women I’ve ever met.
