She won numerous Grammy's and other awards for her outstanding vocals,broadway performances and albums. As an actress, Lena played in numerous films as well.

Lena was also a Civil Rights Activist for many years,because she stood by truth and fought for what she believed in.

Lena Horne died on May 9, 2010, at the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City of heart failure, according to her daughter, Gail Lumet Buckley. In addition to her daughter, she is survived by granddaughters Jenny and Amy Lumet, Lena Jones, Samadhi Jones, and grandsons, William and Thomas Jones. On May 14, 2010, Horne's funeral took place at St. Ignatius Loyola Church on Park Avenue in New York City. Thousands gathered to mourn her, including singers Leontyne Price, Dionne Warwick, Jessye Norman, Chita Rivera and actresses Cicely Tyson, Diahann Carroll, Lauren Bacall, Audra McDonald and Vanessa L. Williams. Horne was laid to rest in the Horne Family Plot at The Evergreen's Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY.

My prayers go out to Lena, Lena's Family, Friends & Fans!! She will be missed!!!

Updates!!!

Sorry for the late updates!!
I promised myself when I started this blog, I would keep up with the updates ,but I got busy with homework, auditions,senior activities, traveling and filming. So, Im going to go back a couple of weeks to post things that were important to me that I didn't post.

The first thing was on May 9, 2010.

This day is dedicated to all the loving Mothers, Including my MOM, GRANDMA, GREAT GRANDMA, AND AUNTIES!

Even though I didn't write this on Mother's Day, I still don't think it's too late because everyday is Mother's Day.

This is a poem to My Mom:

For all the times you gently picked me up,
When I fell down,
For all the times you tied my shoes
And tucked me into bed,
Or needed something
But put me first instead.
For everything we shared,
The dreams, the laughter,
And the tears,
I love you with a "Special Love"
That deepens every year
.

Happy Mother's Day Everyday!! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!
