"If I tagged you, don't disappoint me. I don’t normally do these things but seeing as we are in such an odd time I think we all could do with a pick me up.

I've felt the pain of being knocked down, and I've decided I'll be part of the construction of others! If I didn't tag you, please, no offense. I tried to choose people I thought would make this challenge fun!! "

She added,

"Too often, women find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up. With all the negativity out there, let's do something positive!

✨Upload 1 Picture of yourself... just you!!! Then tag so many beautiful women to do the same. (FB only allows 50) we will build ourselves, instead of tearing us apart. Ladies I think you are all beautiful ❤️❤️."

Here are photos showcasing her life and times. May she rest in peace.
