Glad to see she made it to 93, I hope I can too!

1. It doesn't really sound awful. It's understandable to me.
I remember her being in and out of the hospital several times over the years.

It would be easy to believe that she had passed away by now.

And yes, 93 is a long long spell.

Cheers, and I hope you make it.

5. Me, too.
I think I was confusing her with Patricia Nixon.

8. +1. Being from Michigan, I liked the cut of her jib. ERA and pro-choice.
Class act. Lovely lady.

11. She was a very private person I understand.
I wouldn't have been surprised myself to hear she'd been gone for years.
