wow, 93, that is a nice age to live too - makes me think if I would like to life till then
I always feel sad when we lose someone so influential. Makes me think "Who's going to fill these shoes?" We need to have more shoe fillers, y'know?
True Blue Guy: It makes me wonder the same. My grandfather lived to be 91. He seemed to enjoy every moment of his life. My grandmother is 94 and still as feisty as ever!
Dr. Deb: I feel sad, also. Who will fill these shoes??
