Thank you Mrs. Maya Angelou for serving as an example for me and many across the world. Your love for people, poetry, and life liberated ME. Your voice that rang to the nations has reached down to the depths of my being and has inspired me to live, to want more and to breathe but overall to stand on faith. Your wisdom, love, empowerment will never be forgotten because of the seed of hope that you have left here on earth, here in me. I am thankful to our father for sharing you with us and for the forever engraved footprints you have left on each of our hearts. We writers/poets carry them with honor, love, and humility.
Love,
A Phenomenal Woman

Why I Write
I write…
… The mundane offerings of my quiet pursuit…
To tread the ever-winding stairs to lore,
To tax the hidden recesses of my mind,
Exploring the known and unknown
In a never-ending quest for highest Truth.
To invoke the Universal cache of knowledge,
To proliferate the slate with vision’s ideology,
Seeking my soul from within
For spiritual perfection whether possessed or dispossessed.
To view in the world’s convolutions of madness a sense of order,
For all that is and was and is no more.
Neither of me nor by me but through me
In communion with the Ancient of Ages.
… Listening to the Collective Conscious
… Transcribing from the Cosmic Voice.

Dear Sweet Maya,
I have known you for many years through your words. Your sweetness and your strength and your comforting wise words will live forever and then still you are with us. Like so many bright stars and love energy, the encouraging voice. I feel like you are the Mother and Grandmother to me and yet you never knew me. I will treasure your spirit, your smile and your love that liberated me forever. Thank you so much for being with us and teaching us. I have copied all your words that I could find from your interviews with Oprah and have read your books. What I liked best was your blessed presence and also knowing that we as women (or men) can be strong and refuse ugliness yet still be soft and love and love others and life and have faith in ourselves and the world. And like the story of Rachel Remen we can share our light with the light of others or just offer our light to them. Your legacy is pure beauty and a million shining stars.
I love you,
Carol

One of the most memorable interviews I have ever done in my entire 30-plus year was with Dr. Maya Angelou. Even though you knew you were speaking with greatness, she had the most amazing ability to make your time with her warm and personal…like a child sitting at the feet of her favorite aunt as she was giving you guidance. It was nearly 8 years ago…and her wisdom and messages were just as powerful and timely today as they were then. Personal too. 8 years later, I’m remembering and re-embracing the message with an even greater zeal. Thank you Dr. Maya Angelou for all you ever were, are, and will continue to be in the lives of many. With much love and respect…and sincere condolences and love to the family.

To the family. I never knew Dr. Angelou personally, but growing up here in North Carolina, I read here works while I was a schoolgirl. I am so honored to have known this “Phenomenal Woman” as a neighbor and a mentor.

Hearing of Dr. Angelou’s death for me was like the way my mother and older siblings described hearing of President Kennedy’s death. While I know that she would never compare herself to anyone, the loss of her to me is just as great and tearful. While I did not know her in a personal or biological way her works, most especially her poem “Still I Rise” conceived me, birthed me, and propelled me to such a moment in time that applauds my destiny. I have watched her book discussion,interviews, and movie appearances in awe of her profound wisdom. While I wanted her to remain in my life at the least 20 more years plus, God wanted her in His life now! So to her son “Guy” I’d like to say we (the world) may have lost/given up a very rare and precious jewel, but having had to say goodbye to my own mother, I can empathetically say that your rose is now at her most brilliance of being, resting from all her labor and at peace of who you have become and will continue to be.

My condolences to the family of Dr. Maya Angelou. As I think back to the very first time of being in the presence of her speaking at my church in Atlanta, I recall feeling an ever presence of her love, honesty, and literary genius. My soul was truly blessed by all that she shared and for her loving spirit that graced us. Dr. Maya has touched and inspired my life and the lives of so many others in so many different ways. Her words always have a way of getting to my core, bringing about an “ah ha” moment and always wanting to absorb more of her very being, wisdom and encouragement. She is truly a Phenomenal Woman. Thank you Dr. Angelou for all you have given and the great body of work that you have blessed us with to pass on to future generations. I thank God for the time He allowed us to experience all of the greatness He placed in you to make this world a better place and to challenge our minds. You will be greatly missed. Thank you for allowing us to see inside of your life as you walked and lived out your God given purpose. God bless

What a font of strength, beauty, and inspiration. From the moment I learned of your words, I read them all. You have been an amazing role model for me as a woman. I only wish I could have had the honor to meet you. I will continue to teach your words and wisdom to my own students. Rest in peace.

My condolences go out to Dr. Maya Angelou’s family during this time of loss. Please know that we all share in your pain, even though, my connection was only through her literary works, movies and Oprah…I felt like I knew her personally.
I’ve shed a few tears, but I can only smile when I reflect on the life she has lived and the lives (included mine) that she has touched.
May God Be With You All & Thank you WFU .
