Her words to live by: Reach out and touch someone less fortunate when you are hurting. Not only do you help them, but yourself in return. Change what you can and what you can't you have to accept. Turn no one away, they might be an angel in disguise. Her many road in life and her career afforded her friendships beyond belief and her love for people and animals was unique. She would say, "Don't cry please, celebrate my life,"
