Did not know Richmond or Alexis…just the other 3 siblings…I am taken aback to learn about her, on her passing…
That’s quite a body of work
How sad, I was only talking about Alexis the other week with some friends, she had such a supportive family. That’s a lovely way to pass though, with family and friends and listening to a favourite song.
