“Goodbye to all my dear friends and family that I love,” she wrote in a Facebook post, according to People. “Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness… the world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers… goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!”*
