Heart breaking...but so sweet that she got to see her wedding day.

Thank you Del for everything.

Oh no! That feels colossally unfair. :(

I know.

she was the same age as my Dad and outlived him by 4 years.

I've probably spoken before of my sense of pride when she and Phyl came not once but twice to our drag king musical at Rhino in 96. One of the thrills of my life-specially cuz I had to play a scene out in the audience RIGHT where they were sitting. I had heart palpitations but managed it ;)

THE epitome of role model and Butch Icon and shapeshifting change agent. w/o her balls we'd literally have no gay rights movement, but NEVER a seperatist xcluder, not nohow!
