MY EYES MY EYES!!!!
Oldest *person*, Andy. Cave Trolls reach her age all the time, but they usually have the good sense to stay in their caves...
That's mighty old. My wife has a great-grandmother who's 105 now, which probably puts her among top several oldest people in Texas.
Lizzie Bolden was around when Lizzie Borden took an axe.

Amazing...RIP...a friend of mine died tonight that I have known for 22 years from a stroke...he lived a great life...sounds like Lizzie did as well.

Read the Lizzie Borden Story: Did she murder her father & stepmother - The Crime library
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
The story was told in the 1964 film "Strait Jacket" staring Joan Crawford.
Must've had an OJ jury.

Dude, this is harsh!
I am sorry about your friend. Real friends are far and between!
