I adore this woman because her life was a real struggle yet she didn't give up, what an inspiration to the youth of today.

I met her once, she had such a presence! I didnt even know whom she was. I was at work, working as a Sales Rep-Fashion Jewelry at the Fashion Mart in Los Angeles. I approached her, and asked if I could help her, she said" Yesss!" (Excitedly), I laughed....she then said, "Do you know who I am?" I replied, "No,"... Then she replied, "I'm the cat woman rrrrrrrrrrr...." I laughed and said, "Oh, Wow," she then said, "Darling, your too young to recall," I continued to help her...she needed jewels for a trip....She was sweet and entertaining as a customer❤😊❤
