I'm sorry for your loss, Cockney Cupcake.
Also... I'll be honest. When Joan Rivers was alive, I loathed her. I absolutely hated her. Even now, I'm not particularly fond of her because I think she used her title as a comedian to make fun of other people, and she even defended some of her jokes and implied that she wouldn't take back what she said because she took what she said seriously while others took it as a joke. A perfect example is her criticizing Adele's weight. Her refusal to take it back, to me, kind of said that she really did feel this way and it was more than just a joke to her.
Regardless, she had a huge impact on the world and she will be missed. I hope she rests in peace. Hopefully she is in a better place now.
