8 years today that she left this world too soon.

Wow, 8 years?? I was freshly out of college.
Very sad. This happened right after Versace's murder.

"Her glamor and style still captivate, her good works still bring comfort, her smile—captured in endless news footage and on countless magazine covers— still radiates." Time magazine 1998
This statement still holds true.

Posted: 8/31/05 at 3:32pmIts so hard to believe that its been that long. I remember staying up all night long to see if she would make it out of that wreck alive. I was crushed when they made the announcement that she had passed away.

My memory of that night...I was sitting on the outdoor deck at Dave & Busters in Philly, at a family engagement party. A woman came up to me remarking how I resembled Princess Diana.
It was just about that time the news was being spread around the deck that she had just been killed in that dreadful accident. It was a cold, strange feeling.
I admired her for her quiet dignity despite what she put up with privately I'm sure, her compassion for the less fortunate and others, and most of all her devoution and love for her sons, who happen to both be the same age as my two sons.
She and Fergie are 2 remarkable ladies.

Posted: 8/31/05 at 4:05pmI was living in Boston at the time, but came to NYC for the holiday weekend. I remember being in Triad on the UWS and it was a breaking news story at the bar. I went back to my Dad's apt, stayed up all night watching the coverage, and drove back to Boston almost in tears...

I was working on a show, and on my way to the subway after the evening performance walked by the Fox News building and it was on their screen. But they were saying that she walked away, so I thought she was fine.
The news later that evening was devastating. I sobbed like a baby when Sir Elton sang Candle in the Wind at her funeral.

I was on safari in Africa, when the news came to us. With no access to any sort of broadcast or report we could only imagine what the rest of the world was doing!
It gave me an intersting perspective, however, to then spend the day in the middle of a Masai village in Tanzania with people who had never heard of the Princess. It's not all about our culture...
When I returned home, however, I was glad that my family had saved the newspapers, magazines and coverage of the funeral.
Mother Teresa passed at the same time, as I recall.

I really don't remember what I was doing when I heard the news.
I can't believe it's been eight years though.

We had just returned from spending a day with friends. As we walked in the door, she called and told me... at first I thought it was some kind of lame joke, but we turned on the tv to the terrible news.
Wow... 8 years. Seems like yesterday. Yet it was truly a totally different life away.
