Yes, she passed several years ago. I still miss her every day, but thinking about the things she loved makes me happy. I heard a quote a short time ago that stuck with me to the point that I wrote it down and keep it with me. It went: "All lives can't matter until black lives matter more". Of course I realize it is a very complex topic with many facets, but the history of oppression is well documented and I think people just want a voice. As for the "furries", I am totally with you.
