It's very sad. She died the same year as someone close to me so I always associate her with that difficult year of 2012. I was very shocked by her death because I had seen her in concert only a few years before and she sounded amazing and looked happy.

Me too, of all the celebrities that passed that year, I could come to terms with all of their deaths except hers, it really hit me hard when it was announced that she had died. And two years later nothing has changed, I still play her music, so glad for the catalog she left behind.

I know. I played nothing but Donna on my i pod the entire weekend.
