No, she’s in hospice though. As of last night.

It happens sometimes with smaller names.

RIP.

Your post Tuesday referring to Aretha Franklin got my attention because I wasn’t aware anything had happened to her. Now I see she died today. What were you referring to?

I have to say one thing, though... Miss King was criminally underused in “The Godfather” movies. The mother was barely an afterthought as a character.

She was perfect in her traditional Italian wife role:

Pump out babies, make sauce and meatballs and let the men do what they do.

I remember one time I was over there, I was about 16-17 and I helped clear the dinner table one night...the look on the old timers faces was epic.

Sort of like - how do you say - “WTF ARE YOU DOING!!!!?!?!?!?!” in Italian?? That kind of look?

Haha!!!!

That was exactly it.

I always helped Mom at home; that doesn’t know borders.

She was too minor. You don’t want a wife to be that invisible (nor an overbearing bitch on the other side of the spectrum). You want her to be loving, supportive and strong.

Most people don’t realize the gravity of Isaac’s death. There were invisible forces at work.

Yeah, there really IS a culture shock going to another land, isn’t there.
