August 31, 1997, Princess Diana was killed in a horrific accident.

I remember that day well. A great Lady who respected every person that she came in contact with. We need more people like her, especially in our world today.

She was a true Princess. I mourned for her family, especially her sons.

We were shocked, appalled, and very pissed at the paparazzi. Conspiracy theories about it being planned didn't help.

She was a really great lady and did not deserve any of the bullshit she had to endure from the royals or the world for that matter.
Candle in the wind, indeed.
