Joan Rivers also use to hug AIDS patients. She started a soup kitchen in New York, and paid for burial services for many AIDS victims, she was a fierce defender for human rights. Hard to believe if you only her by her stand up routines. NYC misses her dearly.❤❤❤❤

Amazing the reality of Princess Diana, how she touched people's hearts by following her passions independently of protocols. The strength she emulated just being herself is still revered, and honestly so Princess Di. The world lost an Angel, Heaven gained a Saint. ❤❤❤

Love hearing Elton speak about this, now I understand why he loves her so. ❤

Diana broke all boundaries. She breathed new life into the age-old British Monarch.
She was a fish out of water. Fortunately her sons possess her beautiful spirit.

Diana had empathy for people facing serious illness. But, she was not perfect, still a human but with kindness in her heart.

She was fearless. She also set an example for how others should behave. She called attention to things that mattered, where she could raise awareness.
