    Funny that she's the opposite from most women who buys birkin bags as a symbol of status, luxury and wealth. She's humble, natural, far from pretentious, she was just amazing and iconic.

      To lose a child cuts deeply and never heals completely. The parent who adored that child will never again know true happiness. I know. I lost my beloved daughter through a freak accident almost 5 years ago. Not long after I lost my dad and lost dad not long after my mother. I'm 70 now and the tears still come sometimes.

    Ive been a huge fan of Jane since I was in my tweens I always admired her bubbly and outgoing personality. It really breaks my heart that she felt that she lost her confidence after her daughter passed. Even her zodiac sign excudes a natural confidence from another pair of lenses. It really shows that the pain of losing a child forever sticks with you. I can’t even imagine the whole world knowing about it and consistently asking questions regarding such an emotional wound. R.I.P to Jane. She was a very humble woman from what we can see I wish I was able to see her live at least once. My forever icon, fly high 🤍🕊️

She had CHARM and possessed a NIGHTMARE BEAUTY!!! She was also a successful woman in the arts for a good decade.
