My favorite female comedian ever. I remember you standing right next to me with a microphone in the 90's at Jus' Jokin' Comedy Club here in Houston and me getting anxiety x100. You roasted almost everyone in the club, but said nothing to me. I thank you for that. I will cherish you for the rest of my life. You will be missed greatly. Condolences to your family and close friends.
