This is quite unfortunate. Though I am not a monarchist by any means, for
some reason this news had a slight effect on me. One of the interesting
things about the Queen Mother is that she lived to 101 and kept her wits
about her to the very end. A rather enviable task, considering all the
changes she must have witnessed through the entire 20th Century.
Its too bad that most people don't put two and two together and realize
that a long life is a good thing, and death is more than merely just sad.
