I noticed she hadn’t been on the board much of late, but I thought she simply had a set-back and that we might hear from her when she felt better. I don’t know that I will ever be able to watch American Idol again without thinking of her. I remember how she used critique after every act when she felt up to it. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family, especially her mom, whom she always spoke of with such high regard. Rest in peace, dear friend.
