Leona Helmsley Tribute

Seven years ago I sent Leona Helmsley an email telling her what nice hotels she had and much to my surprise she took the time out to mail me a thank you letter and signed it; so I say 'Maybe, she's not the bad evil person they say she is. She may have said and done things that were "mean" and hurtful but hasn't anyone ever wondered if in her life she was the one the people were mean and hurtful to? She grew up dirt poor never really enjoyed a childhood because she had to work and support her family like most children of her generation so she had that still in her head and never coped from that. She was one of the first few women to break in to the real estate business and earn respect from the "boys club". Yes, she got blind-sided by greed by not paying taxes and left 12 mil to her dog but what about the rest of the fortune that is going to charity. People and the media want to forget that she has donated millions to 9/11 families and families devastated by Hurricane Katrina and a hospital in Connecticut. So, maybe the Queen wasn't so "mean" just sad that she never had the unconditional love and appreciation that she so wanted. so I say to Leona over at the great beyond, rest easy with Harry and a be-lated thanks for responding to my email.
