A woman who was an inspiration to me died last night. I am having intermittent crying jags. The world is a better place because she was in it, and is a poorer place for her loss.

I really just don't know what else to say.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, although happy that you had someone in your life so inspirational at one point.

I'll be thinking of you, and I hope your heart feels better soon.

I just heard about this, and am so sorry for the loss. I'm sorry Maggie, and I hope you feel better in a little bit. My mother's reaction was, "While we know we can't live to a hundred, this makes us realize how precious each day is and try and live happily in the time we have."

Although that seems a bit difficult to absorb.
