    1. RIP Madam. She was the best to ever do it and I haven’t stopped thinking of her since the HumamsofNY video

    2. Just love the humanity Humans of New York brought us, and I say this as an Icelander who’s never even been to New York. Guess I’m just a sucker for human stories.

    3. I remember waiting for her stories bc they would release them a bit at a time. Rip Tanqueray

      The comments on the FB post were so wonderful to see. People from all walks of life, from different parts of the country or the world, coming together to celebrate her stories and share their condolences. Reading her stories felt like she was talking to you personally. I hope she rests in peace.

      What a beautiful and fitting tribute to her. I thought about her story often after the initial HONY posts.
