I’d never known about her before; but what an amazing and colorful life!
Amen.
Wrong.
Wow good for her

Oh how sad. I liked her. Prayers for Sly and his family during this sad time. And prayers for, she was a good woman.
She beat her genetic family lifespan. Her father and mother died at 65 and 72 respectively.

RIP.
