What a wonderful person she was. Sherry http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/28/us/maya-angelou-obit/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Maya Angelou, a renowned poet, novelist and actress, has died at age 86, her literary agent, Helen Brann, said Wednesday. She died at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Brann said. Also a professor, singer and dancer, Angelou's work spans several professions. In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded her with the Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor. One of Angelou's most revered books was "I Know Why the Caged Sings." Writer Julian Mayfield is said to have described the autobiography as "a work of art which eludes description."
I read this book so many times: "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings". Read parts of it to my daughter when she was younger, as not all were age appropriate. It saddens my heart to have lost such a fine human being. For some reason I am very emotional over this loss. Sherry
