Oh that's so sad. We are losing such an amazingly inspiring generation too quickly.

That breaks my heart. I love that picture! It was ironic the night that my husband joined the Navy, we went to dinner to talk about this change in our lives. That picture was hanging in the restaurant and we were sat right underneath it. I will never forget that! It was like an omen for us!

I heard about this! Such a shame... 91 years is a long life, I'm sure she had a lot of amazing stories.

Wow, 91... I bet she had an amazing life. May she rest in peace.

I love this picture, that's too bad that she has passed. At least she lived a very full life and making it to 91 is pretty good. I hope she rests in peace.
