She was a defender, a fighter, a spiritual anarchist, demanding, intuitive, often but not always kind, bold, a trickster, quick-witted, would occasionally talk to angels, often felt the earth move, and a survivor.
She was always kind to everyone she met, always asking how they were, and usually paying them a complement about how well they looked.
She believed in never leaving the house without makeup; always looking her best. She changed her purses on a monthly, sometimes weekly, basis.
She had an endearing effect on everyone who met her.
It was not uncommon for her caregivers to comment that there was something special about her.
