I’m hard pressed to think of another individual so accomplished across so many different fields. Award winning performer, song writer, actress, theme park owner, national non-profit founder.
And she remained relevant to the very end!

Quiet downstate. Just waiting for this heat wave to pass, and aura farming at the Streator Public Library.

Simply the best and may we never forget her beautiful legacy. 2026 has lost a few good ones, including your mom, Rich. Forever condolences.
