Condolences for Elizabeth Taylor

My sincere condolences to the family and close friends of Elizabeth Taylor. I am thankful that she stepped up to the plate when no one else would. I lived in Reno Nevada before there was an AIDS foundation there, and no one knew what this terrible disease was. I went to Sacramento Ca. in the early 80's to train for Hand to Hand work, which i helped found in Reno to help persons with the disease with no name. I am thankful to have helped many people at the time persons needed help. Elizabeth, you will be sorely missed.    Love, Ron

I lift you up and declare your fierceness ............ Our mother and fighter and fellow ACT-UP comrade ............Our world was touched by an angel ...........Thank you from the core of my soul...............Mark

---

I would like to express my sincere feelings of loss for one of the most amazing women of our century. Her courage and charm in the face of adversity and her ability to champion the cause when everyone else was blind to the need, is a testament of both her true beauty and intelligence. Celebrity does come with the potential for social responsibility and leadership but only a few recognize this. Thank you Elizabeth and to all those working to help end the suffering of those living with HIV.
Kind regards,
Jennifer

---

 Thank you for all you have done in this struggle. I have been working with you since the 80’s and there is still much to be done. You and your tenacity will be sorely missed!

This lady did more for HIV/AIDS then anyone I know, she was a great actress, yet even more an activist for those who could not speak out. She will be miss greatly, but at least her suffering is over and she is in a far better place now.

I am sure Elizabeth is an Angel of Light and God is pouring lots of blessings on her everyday on the other dimensions , due to her example of a strong woman with the vision to help, help, help and Love unconditionally when prejudice existed, and she opened the door  many years ago, so that the world would follow her direction founding Amfar on helping healing Aids and other benefits.
Continue shining throughout  the Universes, eternally,

Dame Taylor's contribution was a boon to us all on so many levels.   
She will be sorely missed. -- JL

We have all lost a great humanitarian.  Elizabeth Taylor took up causes that were not ‘popular’, yet she led them with pride and dignity.  All the world is better because of her work.  As an actress, she has performed exquisitely ever since a child.  I have always enjoyed watching her on the screen and TV.  I also remember  a picture of Elizabeth Taylor in the 1970’s in ‘hot pants.’  No matter what age she was, she was always beautiful.  Ms. Taylor was never a diamond in the rough; she was polished and shiny.  Her black & white “White Diamonds” commercials conveyed a soft, sexy side. Her violet/blue eyes and double eyelashes captured the paparazzi and calmed our fears.  In ‘Virginia Woolf’ Ms Taylor spewed lines that many women say today (reality TV)  Her acting  and beauty were unparalleled.  Because of her beauty, all of her life remained public.  And Elizabeth remained generous and graceful to all.Thank you.
My condolences and comfort go out to all of Elizabeth Taylor’s family and close friends.  Her memory and legend live on forever.  May you find comfort in knowing that so many are affected by the loss of such a great star and wonderful person.  Her memory lives on forever….

Dear Elizabeth,
Bless you for your taking action re: the serious issue of HIV-AIDS.
You are truly a heroine and your legacy will never be forgotten.
Hugs,
Sarah

We truely loved her and will surely miss her beautiful face.
A wonderful actress and a fantastic human being.
I always give to Amfar in honor of my brother and in memory of Elizabeth.
What a great loss to humanity.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of such an incredible lady which feels like the end of an era.  Her fight for people with aids and the stigma they go through was an  inspiration to us all.  She was truly beautiful inside and out and will be missed terribly.
My deepest sympathies to her family,
Susan McCandless

What a wonderful human being Elizabeth Taylor certainly was! I will always remember her with so much love.
Sincerely,

Elizabeth demonstrates life beyond our fears to hope and work, evolve - personally, I cannot thank her enough - words are simply inadequate.
Ron

---

Elizabeth, it could have been enough to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Or talented and rich beyond comprehension.  Instead, you stared down a world in denial with your violet eyes and marshaled the extraordinary power of every resource at your disposal. To touch, to speak and to fight for AIds when everyone was afraid. You taught us that courage can change the world. And you have.  You have gone, but you will never leave because you are part of our new world of hope.
Patty

My partner (Robert B, deceased 1998) and I are supporters of AMFAR. It's with great sadness that Liz is gone but her memory will live on just as it has with my partner. Both were ardent crusaders against this terrible disease, hopefully one day there will be a cure. In the meantime AMFAR has my full support.
Richard

---

I've been an amfAR supporter for 18 years largely because of Elizabeth Taylor's personal pleas to support the organization. She had already stopped making feature films by the time I was a young adult, but you could say that through becoming the spokeswoman for amfAR, her star became much bigger than on the silver screen. I will never forget the November 1992 "Liz Aid" cover of Vanity Fair, and the iconic image of a stunning 60-year-old Elizabeth dressed to the nines holding an opened condom wrapper. That image would still be controversial today, but was truly fearless then. Her legacy should be an inspiration to all -- to be remembered for making a difference in the quality of lives of others. I can't imagine the big bash in heaven last night.

---

What an incredible example Elizabeth Taylor has been for all of us! This example will live on and on. We are so appreciative of the work she has done! I know that her efforts have made our jobs easier. She will be missed, but her presence will remain with us.

---

What an outstanding ambassador Elizabeth Taylor was for amFAR.  A better spokeswoman you could not have had, she will be greatly missed.
Andi

---

Thank you Elizabeth, for your voice and ideas to start a foundation that has changed the lives of so many. As a recipient of a grant from amfAR to continue research on HIV-1, I am in debt for all of your hard work for this foundation. I shall continue to work for all those that need a better treatment or, better yet, a cure.
Matthew

---

A true star in every sense of the word inside and out! She will be missed.

I met Elizabeth Taylor I think it was back in '85 or '86 at a AIDS fundraiser in New York City when I was working for CBS Network. She was gracious, and a stunning beauty. It's sad that as time marches on we're slowly losing all our "living legends". Yesterday Elizabeth received the precious gift of "Eternal Life", where I believe no matter what your earthly status was, everyone gets the SAME and equal share/amount. Enjoy your new gift my dear, and may you rest in peace for all eternally. Till we met again.

What does one say at a time like this?  Miss Taylor was a fighter and a survivor and one of the last true stars and she set an example for other celebrities, so the cycle continues, but the world was changed for the better by one amazing lady that few in this life will ever measure up to.  Miss Taylor is one individual that will leave a void that can never be filled, but we were blessed that she was a part of the human race and we had her in our lives for as long as we did.  Thank you for the lives you've touched and a job well done.  May you rest in peace now.  With sincere respect, love and admiration.

As a person living with AIDS for almost 20 years I credit and thank Elizabeth Taylor’s efforts and the people of AmFar for my continued good health. Thank You Liz from myself and all of us affected by AIDS. You will be greatly missed.
Mike

---

Many of us walked before, with, and after Elizabeth Taylor in our effort to bring attention to AIDS.
And, when her films and attraction fade, and she passes into history, her star in the effort to combat AIDS will glow eternally. She remains my favorite.
Peace,

On March 23, 2011 this country lost and icon and a dear friend. My condolences to her family and many friends. May you rest and be at peace Elizabeth. From a friend in the fight of people with HIV/AIDS.

My son died of AIDS in 1990, as did some of his friends. But other friends survived and still live, thanks to the advances which have been made in diagnosis and treatment since those early days of the epidemic. I am thankful to Elizabeth Taylor for all her courageous work on behalf of those afflicted with AIDS. Thanks to her, in large measure, the stigma of the disease has been lifted and the lives of AIDS patients made easier.
Jim C

---

On behalf of all our brother and sisters who continue to struggle with the disease, we want to THANK YOU and recognized the effort and dedication you devoted to the cause. What you have done for all of us, it will NEVER be forgotten. May the light continue to guide you in the eternal life? 
Felipe

Not only was she a great actress, but she helped AmFar more than most people. 
Barbara

---

She not only saved my life:  She told me not to be ashamed of it.
Michael

---

When others dared not speak of HIV and AIDS in polite company - you led the way. You demanded that the nation and the world pay attention. You were a hell of an actress and the most beautiful woman in the world - but even that was exceeded by your inner beauty.  May God Bless and Keep You. We will never forget you. I will be making an honorary donation to amFar in your memory.

Today the world lost a great lady who made every moment count and left us many great works of Art,and many charities that reached out to all people sorry to see her go you’ll be missed.

Dear Departed Elizabeth,
I am sending this email so that your children will get it and appreciate my sadness at your parting. Thank you for who you were... Yes, you were a great film actress, deserving the Oscars you won, definitely iconic, but, for me, your greatest act was your total and complete connection with AIDS and your many years as an advocate to help stop the disease and creating AmFAR.... You fame helped bring necessary notice to this devastating disease.... That you spent time, money and genuine humanity to this devastating disease made you a great human being... Bless you for your humanity...With sorrow at your passing,
Robert

---

Thank you for your passion in those things you believed in!
Larry

Mankind has lost it's most shining beacon of hope. We will not forget, Elizabeth.

What a sadness...after so many...another voice silenced...another death.  Thank you Dame Elizabeth, for your compassion, your caring, and your courage.
Stacy

---

As someone who is also living with HIV, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Elizabeth Taylor.  Her dedication to supporting those with HIV/AIDS in the early years when others so easily treated us like outcasts and pariahs is a shining example of love, compassion, charity, and humility.  She treated all those around her with respect, class and dignity.  We should all strive to follow her example.  She will truly be missed!
Ken

---

My mother used to say to me: "Don't tell me how much you love me, show me by your deeds"  How prophetic are these
words that apply to greatness and quiet strength of character displayed by Elizabeth Taylor. Is this not God's actions
revealed among us mortals. He's presence displayed by deeds not words.
Earle

Elizabeth Taylor was a very beautiful woman and will be a legend of our time.

I grew up with you and your movies and will miss you deeply.  You have entertained us and provided for us as no one ever has or ever will.  God bless you forever.

 The stars will shine bright knowing that such a grand women made a great difference in many people’s lives.  That is the best gift one can possibly give and be known for.  She will be sorely missed, although her spirit will live on forever.
How sad.
Steve

There was a crisis that hit our land and no reach out or spoke out except like members of the group most affected.  And then the voice of an Angel was heard throughout the land.  She called out the hypocrites and she called those who just plain did not want to be bother with this disease.  She dare to touch the inflicted and she dare to love and fight for  them all.  She worked hard this beautiful Angel and never quit.   She was beautiful, talented, intelligent, compassionate and loving. A beautiful woman with a beautiful soul.  Thank you Elizabeth Taylor.  Rest in peace for eternity, dear Lady.

Miss Taylor, will always be remembered in our hearts, Our love and support goes out to the family. I thank God for such a woman and such a giving spirit for those in need HIV/AIDS. People like Miss Taylor are hard to come by may your soul rest in peace. God bless.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of this beautiful icon... an actress and humanitarian, whom I watched and admired from afar. She lead an exciting and tumultuous life. May she rest in peace among the stars above forever.

I remember the dark days of the 1980's when Elizabeth Taylor became the candle that sparked a world of change.  Thank you for your commitment, your tireless efforts and the worldwide awareness you created throughout the years in your fight against HIV/AIDS.  When no one else would speak up....you were not afraid to speak out.  Your voice became a beacon of hope and because of you, the world was changed.  The world has lost a true friend, a great actress and most of all an activist who will never be forgotten.  May you enjoy the company of angels because you were an angel for us!

As a Recipient, through UCLA's Care Clinic and APLA, to having my Sister named after her, to my meeting her briefly back in the late 1970's way before her HIV/AIDS Advocacy started, and attending her Birthday Bash thrown by APLA, back in the 1990's at the Pantages Theater, and through her Films, I came to Fall in Love, Admire, and at times wondered if She and I were/are distant relatives. Elizabeth you'll be sorely missed, but will always be Alive and "Giving Them Hell" in my heart.
With much love,
Jim

my condolence for the death of Dame Elizabeth Taylor wonderful woman,mother and actress.
roberta

---

As much as I loved her as a movie star, it was her unbelievably bold and courageous stance in AIDS awareness for which I will always remember her. As others have stated, her work was tireless, and based on the notion that we are all one. It grew out of her love for her friend Rock Hudson but it wasn't so long after his death that we all became the beneficiaries of that love. I remember going to a newstand and seeing repeated images of this gorgeous movie star on the cover on Vanity Fair, holding up a condom. There was nothing like this Dame!

Elizabeth Taylor was a beacon of light in a world to often overshadowed by hate, ignorance and misery. She was a beauty inside and out . What she did in the early days of A.I.D.S. can not be measured. Only God knows the amount of  lives she help save and the misery she help elevate. And if there is a heaven, now Elizabeth knows. May her beautiful soul rest peace .
Michael

I never had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth Taylor in person, only via the big and little TV screen. But, what I know about her speaks volumes. While an incredibly talented actress, she dedicated herself to fighting a highly stigmatized disease and supporting highly stigmatized persons associated with that disease. For a high profile actress to do so, she risked alienating her fans, but gained the admiration of the world in her efforts to fight HIV. She defied that stigma, and embraced the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community and many others disproportionately affected by AIDS. We need more people like her to stand up for marginalized persons around the world who are most affected by disease. Thank you Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

We have lost a great towering personality. She was doing a great service to the humanity by starting non profit organisations. HIV/AIDS the most dreadful and fearful disease  and she embraced the subject and gave diginity to the positive people and till her death she served selflesly. Her death is an irreaprable loss to the humanity which is difficult to fill. I sincerely pay my condolence to her and hope the path she has shown us will not stop with her death and we would continue to tread the same and try to fulfill her dream.

Today on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, God called home Dame Elizabeth Taylor, DBE.  To many of us Elizabeth was many things.  She was an actress, business woman, and HIV/AIDs Advocate when no one else would talk about the issue.  We lost a very beautiful person inside and out today, but her legacy will continue.  Elizabeth can now rest in peace.  You and your family are in my prayers.  May God bless your family and give them comfort through this difficult time and may they celebrate your life as a beginning and not an end.   I love you though I’ve never met you.
Deepest sympathies,
Mr. Mark A

---

May God Love and Rest, Dame Elizabeth Taylor. She was a great supporter of amFar, and also, hiv/aids education. She had a very beautiful heart!

---

With the passing of Dame Elizabeth Taylor, the world not only lost an entertainment icon, but a caring and devoted humanitarian as evidenced by her tireless work for amfAR on behalf of those living with AIDS/HIV.  Through her efforts she helped shine a light on what was then a relatively unknown and emerging health crisis and put a human face on those living with AIDS/HIV.  If it weren’t for the care and concern she had for her fellow man, many people would have been misinformed on what the disease is and what it isn’t and countless others would have been doomed to a life of marginalization, forced to suffer in solitude with negative stigmas attached to their existence.  She was not only beautiful on screen but off screen and inside as well and will be forever remembered and always missed.
Robert

The STDs/HIV/AIDS Prevention Centre of Vietnam (SHAPC) is so sad to know that Dame Elizabeth Taylor has left amfAR - the Foundation for AIDS Research forever. On behalf of SHAPC, I would like to send amfAR and her family our condolence. This is a big loss for not only those who are working in the area of HIV prevention, treatment and care, but also for people living with AIDS themselves. She is a symbol of love and consideration for vulnerable groups.  Thank you so much for what you have done for the world, Elizabeth. We will be missing you ...

A true champion who never gave up in her fight for justice and tolerance for those who are afflicted. Dame Elizabeth, you will be missed. We must now take up the gauntlet and continue where you left off, with your spirit and determination to guide us. Rest well, dear lady, after a long and courageous fight.
Laura K.

It is indeed a specially sad day for amfAR, the AIDS scientific community  AIDS militants and HIV infected people. She will continue to leave through amfAR, let's hope Sharon Stone will take the torch: she has the beauty, the stardom and the iconic appeal to do it!

Elizabeth Taylor was a indestrucable diamond that will never ever lose it's shine on the silver screen and for the humanitarian worldwide work she committed herself to. Her spirit was truly a passion to help the underdogs be heard in the world, her commitment to helping the hopeless and powerless especially with aids is one of her proudest and powerful contributions to making the world a better place to live. Despite all the heartache, the pain, and tears of her marriages not working well, her love for the world and for all humanity kept the drive going for her. My tears do not stop flowing this day for her passing, but I take sincere and great comfort knowing that her universal message of change by helping others is not forgotten. Her legacy on the big screen with a list of great movies that she accomplished in her life is as vast and infinite as the universe and all the stars in the sky. We all should take great pride and appreciation in helping our fellow human being always and we can all be better doing so, let's remember Ms. Taylor not just for the roles she played in the movies, but for her oustanding love for the earth, by being involved in organizations that help the world. Thomas paine said it best: "The world is my country, all mankind are my bretheren and to do good is my religion."  Good night Ms. taylor, may flights of angels sing thou good and faithful handmaid servant to thy rest, on behalf of all the generations who you touched with your kindness, your love and more....
We say thank you.

My deepest sympathy to the family of such a loving and intriguing lady.

The world will remember Elizabeth Taylor not because she won two academy awards but because she was truly a gift from God. Dame Taylor showed her compassion for her fellow man by the many hours she spent promoting understanding and the need for research on finding a cure for aids. Elizabeth Taylor reached out to the gay community when it was not politically correct to do so. She showed her love and compassion for those who suffered from this terrible disease and gave hope and encouragement to millions of people not only in the United States but thru out the world. I loved Elizabeth Taylor because she showed her love for so many people. I pray for her family and loved ones that God will embrace and be with them at this time of their loss. Elizabeth Taylor was a great actress but she was even a greater human being. Thank you Elizabeth for bringing so much entertainment to us and also for giving so much hope to those infected with this terrible disease. Your memory will live on in the hearts of everyone.
A devoted fan and admirer

My heart was heavy with grief at the passing of Dame Elizabeth Taylor, but it was also happy at the contributions she made during her lifetime. I have been living with HIV since 1985, healthy and doing well. Dame Elizabeth Taylor helped change the face of HIV/AIDS, she spoke out when others kept silent. She knocked on doors, when those doors were locked. She gave many the hope and courage to go on, and on they went.  My wish is that Dame Elizabeth Taylor will meet in heaven, or whatever the reader chooses to refer to, the many she helped, this help came in many different forms. The face of HIV/AIDS will never be treated in the same manner because of her brave and public struggle.

God Bless You, Ms. Taylor. Dame Elizabeth Taylor was an extraordinary actress and humanitarian.

I wish I was old enough to remember Elizabeth Taylor in some of her movies. She was a fantasic actress. She was also an advocate for getting rid of the Aides Virus. My codolences go out to her family and friends. The world has really lost a good friend.  The world has lost a bright star and will not be the same for her leaving us. May she FINALLY rest in peace. God Bless you Elizabeth Taylor and thank you for all you have done for the world.
Sincerely, Dawn C.

Elizabeth Taylor first embraced people with AIDS when doing so was considered by most people in the public eye personally unspeakable and professionally dangerous.  Elizabeth didn’t care.  She knew only that her friends were dying; abandoned, denounced and too easily reviled by far too many.  Her courage and willingness to speak up created a ripple of compassion against a rising tide of prejudice that moved the entertainment industry into action and then an entire nation to care.   Her heart knew no bounds.   She will be remembered as a great actress, a fierce advocate for those once outcast and a remarkable woman. BC/EFA is sending amfAR a $10,000 grant to support the Mathilde Krim Fellowships in Biomedical Research in memory of Elizabeth Taylor and in honor of all that she and Dr. Krim accomplished together for us all. Best wishes from all here at BC/EFA to all at amfAR.

So many lives have been saved due to the love in the heart of this amazing Lady.  I've lost so many friends that could have been saved if our leaders did what they could have and should have done in the beginning.  And then Elizabeth Taylor saw what was happening and took up the right fight and saved countless more friends that would have died had she not followed her heart. I now shed a tear from the remembrance of her bravery.  And I will follow her lead where-ever and when-ever I can.
Bob P

I want to repeat what I said to Miss Taylor at an early AMFAR event at the World Trade Center’s Winter Garden some twenty-five years ago: “Thank you for having the compassion to reach out to people with HIV and the courage to stand up for them.” She was a shining light, a tireless worker, a good soul,  and countless numbers have benefitted from her work and her example.
Gary

---

Words cannot express my sadness for Dame Elizabeth’s loss.  Having lost 45 friends to AIDS, and being a loyal supporter I am certain  AMFAR shall continue to do you incredible work!!!! DAME ELIZABETH, thank for all you have done regarding this illness.   I am certain that you are not only resting in peace, but in the presence of our LORD.

I watched Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton rehearsing in Boston in their last performances together in Boston. She has always been a figure in my life, from watching her movies, and with the connection to my mother's obsession that she was as beautiful as Elizabeth Taylor, a compliment she (my mother) was often paid in those days. So, hearing of Ms. Taylor's death brought two sorrows of memory, my mother, and the passing of an icon of my youth. Rest well, Elizabeth, you and Richard can spar and tussle again up there, wherever you find yourself.

Elizabeth Taylor was just "good people".  May others be imbued with the values of decency and humanitarianism that flowed so naturally from Elizabeth.  Thank you for bringing AIDS to the forefront and for helping countless people around the world.   R I P , Elizabeth Taylor.

Ms Elizabeth Taylor, my lovely. You have given us so much love and entertainment throughout the years..we feel like icons like you are distant family members. We have a beautiful piece of artwork, my husband made of you. You are immortalized forever on the wall, and in our hearts...G-d bless you, Elizabeth Taylor...you're finally at peace, out of pain and can rest and snooze happily. We love you...Oh and if you see Baby, my beautiful Shetland Sheepdog, please give her a kiss for us!!  She recently went home....
All our love.

Those of us around the world who are affected by HIV are also affected by the death of this great actress and humanitarian. I have been living with HIV now for almost 30 years, so I remember the early to mid-1980s, when none of our political leaders were willing to even talk about the horrible new disease called AIDS. For those of us who buried scores of our friends, we remember those days as if they were yesterday, and we remember that it was Elizabeth Taylor who used her fame in order to champion AIDS research. This became the cause of her life, and thus it caused many, many lives to be exteded or saved. I pray that God will grant Elizabeth eternal peace, and that her memory will be a blessing for her family and friends, and for all those whose life, like mine, she has touched forever.

Coming from a Sub-Saharan African country where 1 in 4 people is HIV positive, I strongly admired the passion and dedication exhibited by Elizabeth Taylor in the fight against HIV/AIDS. She brought the issues of HIV/AIDS to the fore in showbiz and in the process ignited the much needed interest from other celebrities. Dame Elizabeth Taylor you will be greatly missed in Africa but you have left us with a firm foundation from which we will continue with the fight until we overcome AIDS!

Ms Taylor was an "icon" in every sense of the word, and in so many ways.  The world is a bit dimmer with the loss of her light here, but her work, words, and track record will keep her in our hearts and minds for the future. she set the bar for the rest of us and is the epitome of the words, "Never stop fighting till the fight is over!" Blessed Be.

Elizabeth Taylor has been a part of my life since she made “National Velvet.” I was born when she made the film and throughout my life her movies have been a  “stepping stone.”  One never thinks a celebrity of her caliber would ever cross one’s path. Years ago I drove some “gal friends” to Washington, D.C. to spend Good Friday shopping, eating, and touring. None of the gals had ever been inside The Kennedy Center. As I was showing them through I noticed a huge number of people outside the Eisenhower Theater. I inquired at the Box Office and was told there was a matinee of “The Little Foxes” starring Elizabeth Taylor. I was dumbfounded!!! The only tickets left were “Standing Room.” We bought the last 5 tickets for $6.50 each. Her beautiful violet eyes were visible to the 5 of us as we stood transfixed for the 2 hours. In later years I followed her work with amfAR and became a contributor. The day she passed I didn’t cry,but today the tears have come as I fully realize this special lady has left us. My sincere sympathy goes out to her family,friends,and the worldwide community that loves her!

It was our pleasure to make a donation to amfAR yesterday in memory of Dame Elizabeth. Her philanthropic endeavors for AIDS research for over 20 years will never be forgotten. The words expressed by her son Michael said it best: the world is indeed a better place for her having been in it. She leaves a remarkable film legacy reflecting a wide-range of superb acting ability, beginning as a child actor and making over 50 films, as we all know. She led a colorful life, as she herself said, with much happiness, and unfortunately, with much unhappiness, especially having been plagued with innumerable severe illnesses throughout her lifetime. But she was a fighter till the end, and she will be missed.
Sincerely,
Sue Ann & Mitchell Blas

The world has lost a remarkable woman. amfAR has lost an incredible driving force in the fight against AIDS. Hopefully we can all learn from Dame Taylor, and pick up the battle. Finding a cure/solution to this would be a victory for all and a fitting tribute to Ms. Taylor.

I saw Dame Taylor in Beverly Hills few years ago at an event. The entire room went silent as she entered the room. Everyone was just amazed at her beauty. The Gay mens choir started to sing the Dame song. It certainly was an evening I will not forget. I was looking forward to seeing her at Amfar this year. Sadly, she was not able to attend. I have lost my love to AIDS. Her work in the AIDS areana is unmatchable.
