She’s the perfect example.

Yep. She just died. And that death is a reminder of no matter how regal or how much respect is demanded.. you still die one day. And you begin at that point on, to become... no longer an active member of society... but a further and further distant memory of someone who once was... but now, isn’t anymore... That. Is why it’s important. Right there. To be kind and to be open and to realize that ALL of humanity is equal, and worthy, and important. From our most selfless and influential and loving and caring and beautiful members of society to our most hated and cruel and despised and damaging of people. Every one has such an impact that we need to pay more attention to what impacts we’re listening to and letting influence us.... not who to promote or who to silence.. because whether we filter them or not, bad ideas and people will be there. We have to learn who’s the right one to let in, and who is not.

U SAID A MOUTH FULL

96 should not be devastating but thankful😘

Not a passing but a homecoming.

@Jon- Yes, that she was placed on this earth to accomplish...AND all that she had the personal desire to accomplish in her life, she did it all graciously and without compromising herself.

More of a transition than a passing. But yea, I get you.

Lots of love from the Philippines

​@That One not only are you completely reaching but you really need to work on your comprehension skills.

I was 2 and I look like her and Dionne Warwick.

rip

Dammm rip 🙏🏽

She's amazing! Here, at 95, she is lucid, articulate and still looks nice.

When one door closes another opens. Sometimes what looks like rejection is just approval for something greater.

Cicely called it, "Divine Guidance".

Just to get a piece of advice from her...to touch the hem of her head scarf 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️👸🏾🙏🏾 I am a black girl and she is #1 queen..then Angela, Loretta ..phylicia and jenifer Lewis ALL QUEEN MOTHERS OF BLK HOLLYWOOD

Yeah, that was funny 😆 bless her heart. Her transition has really hit me hard, been crying all morning all the way here in Kenya. I hope she knew she’s not just an icon in America, she is a global icon ❤️🙏🏾

Honey, you are well over 3 score and 10, it’s called giving you your flowers while you can still savor them. Be blessed, we loved you.
