I saw her in LAX in I think 1997, my God she was gorgeous and tiny. She only flew commercial airlines even though she could afford to buy a fleet of jets.

She had a glow or a presence like no one I have seen or met since.

    She once said that her favourite thing to do with her husband was to take off in a little trailer they had and go find some place in some corner of Tennessee to camp out in for a weekend.

    She held onto her roots and love of the simple things in life! You have to respect that considering she was worth upwards of 650 million.

    And she did a ton of charity work to boot. We lost a good one, such a shame.
