Let me just say that I am feeling VERY weird writing a story about a person that really exists.  It's just that I read something and had the idea, and then the story just wouldn't leave again. I will take some liberties here and there with dates and facts .

However I want everybody to keep in mind that while the "character" in my story is heavily based on a real person, I don't know her and nothing what I write in this story (apart from the references to real stuff)  has really happened.
I hope I am not being disrespectful to the real person and artist, as well as the mentioned family and friends.
