She was a truly great lady. The epitome of what a lady should be. I would be sad to hear of her passing, but I know that she hasn't died, she has just changed her address.
When I hear of such longevity, my mind always goes to the children who were born early in such marriages. The Carter's children are ages 76, 73, 71 and 55 (Amy.) I can't imagine what it would be like to be in your 70s and have living parents, although I have been around such folks a couple of times.
