Her story is very tragic. They broke up in 93, she died three years later. She was very very sick, but couldn't shake addiction. It is so hard to find pictures of her, but Pony Maurice, Demri's good friend, was so kind to send me the graveyard photos.

She was also the first girl I met who used her lipstick to add blush to her cheeks. She also wore Patchouli oil and oil perfumes..which I’m not a fan of myself but it smelled good on her and she definitely had a very distin
