Thank you once more for sharing these moments from your very personal journey. I love the tree that you chose as the resting place for her ashes. Did Betty have many songs in the works when she left us? I know that she enlisted you to sing one of her original compositions.

Thank you. It is my privilege to share. I'm so glad you're enjoying them. In the next essay, I talk a bit more about her songwriting during her final years.

Thank you so very much for taking us on this journey with you and for fulfilling Betty's wishes so beautifully! The accompanying photos were truly special, and the image of the lockets in the snow was particularly poignant—it captured so much emotion and love. Thank you, again, Danielle, for everything you are doing to keep Betty Davis' legacy alive! She deserves it!
