Just really hit me hard, how about y'all?
From all I've ever heard, she was an amazing example of a sweet-natured woman who never let her riches and fame lead her away from other people and their needs. And she was ageless-seeming. Why did "only the good die young" cross my mind? She was 80...but maybe that just hits harder when you're in your 70's like some of us!

I'm not into country music, but I can recognize a good heart and good song writing. Her Imagination Library was what I admired most of all being a book lover from a young age, and having an "aunt" that always provided me with books. She was like that aunt to the world!
Gotta say, I hate that phrase "only the good die young." Makes no sense to me to imply that you're not good if you live long? WTH?
