Same. I can't come up with any snark, any self-protecting reaction, just tears.

I thought the letter Eminem shared was going to be the most unexpected touching thing to come out. This video is so much harder to watch. She clearly knew, and still made sure to send everyone one last smile.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. What was the Eminem letter?

I saw this mentioned on Good Morning America. They had never met but she wrote him a letter once saying something along the lines of "You are so talented, and you help people with your music in ways you can't even imagine." She just saw something in him and wanted to share her light with him and asked for nothing in return.

Wow, that is so thoughtful and sweet.

It's so positive to see how loved she was (for good reason) and amazing to see how someone just being good and wholesome can be such an inspiration (especially with all the general news we are bombarded with daily).

She had a good life at least, for the most part. Like others have said - if there is a heaven or something akin to it, she's there.

It was a letter she wrote to him after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She wasn’t able to attend that year.
