Also on Saturday, People shared an entry from Taylor's granddaughter, Laela Wilding, who said she used to play with the star's 33.19-carat Krupp diamond.
'Her heart was huge,' said Wilding, 45. 'She had such a huge impact with her activism and she was so full of life and love. She made a big impact on us.

'Continuing her legacy is important for to us. She really wanted to break down stigma. She was independent and strong and courageous and did things for others in big ways and small,' she said.
'I remember how we'd lay on the bed in the bedroom and just talk.
'Just snuggling and chatting and eating lunch and watching movies. We'd take a trip to the jewelry closet and she'd open up the drawers and talk about the pieces, who gave them to her. We'd hang out and put lipstick on – she had all the colors. We'd chat about boys and dating and I would paint my toe nails.'
Grandma Liz: Also on Saturday, People shared an entry from Taylor's granddaughter, Laela Wilding, who said she used to play with the star's 33.19-carat Krupp diamond
She added: 'She wanted to know what was going on in our lives," she says. 'My sister [Naomi Wilding] lived with her for a while and Grandma always wanted to see our outfits and she'd say "Try those earrings on" or "Put these on for tonight."'
'Family was number one for her,' she said. 'We had a family where we all loved one another – her children and her grandchildren and it comes from her — her desire to bring us all together.'
Wilding and five of Taylor's grandchildren will be in Washington, D.C., on Monday to attend AIDSWatch, the nation's largest annual constituent-based HIV/AIDS advocacy event.
People's cover this week is a rare look at the Cat On A Hot Tin Roof star as she was snapped by photographer Firooz Zahedi.
His new book is My Elizabeth.
