On a personal note, Halloween was our favorite time—my daughter Kamryn and I. September 10th, 2000 – April 5th, 2024. Forever 23❤🎤This year, I held her so close as we all danced to the same proverbial drum; this night will remain with me forever. My first Halloween without her was soul-filling because of all of you. We got to be unabashedly weird, without judgment—just the way we love it. The joy was obvious.
