Her final post on Instagram read: "Y'all 2019 has been one of the best years for me , cannot deny it! but 2019 also tried to take me out.

"While in London I started experiencing severe abdominal pain and was rushed to the emergency room- they dismissed it as an inflammation and sent me back to my hotel with some pain meds."
She had planned to spend Christmas in the UK.
In her tragic last post, she added: "They discovered that I had several blood clots in my leg, thigh, abdomen and near an IVC filter near my Lungs (which is a medical device that prevents clots from entering the lungs.) up until this emergency visit I had no idea I had such filter (which I assumed was placed there during my chemo days 14yrs ago) - nonetheless this filter saved my life."
Mama, an amputee, made a mark in the fashion world after becoming a spokesperson for the disabled community.
