In her life, she brought joy and wisdom to her millions of followers on social media. She raised awareness of animal cruelty in the meat-eating industry and the health benefits of vegetarianism. Along with her Dads, she "authored several best selling books and appeared in several documentaries and films in Canada, the United States, and England. I was one of her biggest fans.
