Her leukemia, a rare type, discovered after birthing her daughter last year. She endured 2 bone marrow transplants, but this form of leukemia was very aggressive. She had no kind words for her cousin RFK Jr. His policies undermined cancer research.

Tatiana, so sorry we failed you in receiving the best medical care you needed. Rest in power.
