Give it a break, there would be a public death notice anyway.
And a telegram from the Queen given she was over 100 years old.
I have no idea why anyone would be sad to lose someone at age 100 plus.
I lost mum last year and she was just UNDER 70 yrs of age.
That was sad. It still tears me up. If only I could have had an extra 3 decades like Monk did. Id be thankful just for an extra 3 years.
When I posted about my mother's passing elsewhere online others came forward to tell me they could empathise as their mums had passed too. Some in their 30's and some in their 40's.
These posts made me realise how lucky and blessed I was to have lost mum just before she reached 70.
It's all a matter of perspective.
We need to be thankful for the years we had our mums. And to remember those years.
That's all we can do.
Anyway back to this topic ... what a good innings Monk.
Rare innings too. You should be proud of her Monk. I'm proud of her and I don't even know her! I love strong women and for her to get to 100 plus she was a VERY tough girl indeed! 🌹
