I just watched the documentary. It was great; I appreciate Tony Bennett even more. I was hoping for a bit more Amy but then again, it is a Tony Bennett doc;) I am always wanting more! I am so thankful for the kind and cary words he has said to her and about her. I believe he truly thought she is and will be one of the greats.

Very sad. When I read that she was drinking water... God, it's so unfair. She had gone through hell but the last months she was fantastic. She had put on weight, she looked gorgeous, she was happy and making plans for the future and then...
I don't think I will get over this.
I don't think I will get over this.
I’m a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
