@tayjo1820last year She really was so human. Her emotions carefully tucked away behind those big, beautiful eyes and the way she wore her heart so gracefully on her sle id="hidden7"eves is historic. I will forever look up to her for her audacious metamorphosis. She wasauthentic, sensitive, and compassionate. She never needed a crown or title, for she was born a queen. Rest in paradise. ...Expand 489
