She told me I could light the sky like a flame! She told me I was gonna make it to Heaven and People would remember my name! I believed her and I still do! I am going to miss her soul on this planet! The many years of growing up in a rural part of the country and only being able to see this amazing black woman on a screen gave me hopes and dreams I am still chasing! She was my first introduction into what an Afro-Latina was and I will never, ever forget her name!!!!!! gone too soon

Definitely gone too soon. I'm thankful that she was able to show us her dynamic gifts in such impactful ways but also sad that she didn't have enough time doing so.

RIP Icon. Losing both her and Mary Alice in the same year. Has anyone checked up on Lonette McKee?
