You were talented beyond others and always wanted one thing…for your clients to feel their best. And we did. You did that for me every .single. time. (!) I sat in your kitchen during our early morning makeup sessions and caught up. I felt like I was there every 2 weeks for the past 12 years (and over 20 years since we met at Oprah!) How lucky I was to spend time with you, see your mom, and give Faith a hug before she left for school. Your work allowed me to be myself on camera and for that, I’m forever grateful. How am I going to do it without you? My heart is with your family…you will never be forgotten. Our Oprah family has lost a legend.
