I talked to my Friend a little over a month ago, when She told me , She was looking forward to coming meet me in New Orleans since She finally had time to travel after the closing of W.O.W.! She definitely inspired me to be a better person after being in Her presence. The world is better because She was in it. Now Heaven is a better place because She is now there. I will truly miss you. Thank you for all that you done for the less fortunate, you were definitely a “True Act of Godliness”!
