“You’re at peace my beloved, these last months have been so hard for you, as you peeled back layer after layer of identity and ego, you were never afraid for yourself, only concerned about us. You didn’t want us to be sad, never complained, still saying yes til the last breath. The world has lost a powerful healer, a good human, a funny soul.”
Her post was soon flooded with messages of condolences, with Géraldine Boublil writing: “Baruch Dayan Haemet. Sending lots of love and strength to you and the kids.”
