Lena Horne was an actress, a singer and a civil rights activist, but what a lot of people don’t know is that she was living with Multiple Sclerosis. I have admired her since I was a child planning my writer/singer/test pilot/urban planner/marine biologist (I really didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. She was who I looked to. Can’t say sorry for the loss truly because she lived a full life of 92 years but I hope it’s fun up there. I hope she’s still singing.
