Aretha Franklin March 25, 1942 - August 16, 2018 Today I gracefully say thank you Aretha Franklin for living a beautiful life and a lovely legacy. "Precious Lord" God has something great for you. A star from heaven heading home. You've blessed this earth with your gifts, your heart, your soul and your sound. A "Natural Woman" & a woman of "Respect" you've taught us to "Think" and I thank you with honor and love. Photo Credit: google images Aretha Franklin Photo Credit: Timothy White.com
