View this post on InstagramThis life is beautiful and there is such great joy in it, but life can also hit us upside the head to get our attention. Being human, I know there are times when something big needs to happen in order to get us off the track we’re on, and in a better direction. These events often help us get “outside” our present thinking, and “inside” what life choices we should really be focusing on. I previously mentioned on my social media that my friend Kimmy—who has been my hair and make-up person for over 25 years and is one of my dearest friends (actually he’s family to me)—is experiencing a very serious health event. His first surgery involved putting stents in to prepare for a quintuple bypass. He’s seeing life from a different perspective. He told me last night, "I have great doctors, family and dear friends surrounding me, and all the sweet fans praying for me. I started to really think about my life and how I seriously want to make some major changes. The pain from some bad things that happened in my childhood have caused me to sabotage myself through low self-worth, anger, and poor health choices." He continued, "Because of my massive heart attack, the most positive things have happened. I’m finally beginning to feel my inner child’s pain and it’s causing me to have a change of heart!" ❤️ There is nothing better than learning life lessons from someone who is writing in their “book” right now. Going over to the hospital and listening to Kimmy—the teacher—has convinced me even more how we can all help each other be better. I’d like to share with you some of his wisdom this Sunday.

Kimmy's Journey: A Life-Changing Experience
Marie took a moment to thank her fans for their unwavering support. “To all of you who met and loved Kimmy over the years, thank you for the outpouring of prayers & messages during these difficult months,” she said. This was not the first time Kimmy had faced health challenges. Back in January, he was hospitalized, and in February, Marie revealed that he had suffered a “massive heart attack.” The situation was serious enough to require surgery, including the placement of stents in preparation for a quintuple bypass.
Through it all, Kimmy found a renewed sense of purpose. As Marie recounted, “He’s seeing life from a different perspective. He told me last night, ‘I have great doctors, family and dear friends surrounding me, and all the sweet fans praying for me.’” Kimmy’s journey was one of self-discovery and growth. He expressed gratitude for the support he received and shared his intention to work hard to improve his health and be there for those who had been there for him.
A Legacy of Love and Inspiration
Kimmy’s passing leaves a void that will be felt deeply by many, but his legacy of love and inspiration lives on. Marie’s tribute serves as a reminder of the profound impact one person can have on others. In closing, she simply said, “Rest in peace, Kimmy.”
