    Default Aretha Gone

    The Queen of Soul died yesterday.

    The world mourns.

    She will be universally missed by all good people.

    She was an amazing singer, piano player, arranger, successful black woman, Civil Rights Activist.

    The world is less without her.

    She sang at the inaugurations of 3 Presidents: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.

    Long live her legacy.

    she was the first woman inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame


    she sang with her heart controlling her vocal cords


    she brought the full human experience to her art


    she was an open heart


    she was and is my queen


    I shed a little tear for you my love

    Hardest decision to make: Disposition of the Body. Most people balk at this when they are thinking of their Estate Plan.

    I have instructed my family verbally many times


    do what ever is the cheapest option unless someone objects


    those decisions are for the living


    I do not care now and will not care after my death what is done


    my wish is to be cheap

    don't take up land with my remains

    burn and abandon my ashes to the state

    I DONT CARE

    do what the living need to grieve and get over my death as soon as possible
