Guess who died in 2023

[Edgy MD]

She grew up on an Iowa farm in the tail end of the Depression in a house without running water.

My mom-in-law also was a Depression-era Iowa baby. Also became an executive assistant in Education. Also was somebody I called Mom right off.

Deep condolences.

All the best to your family, MGIM. Thinking of you.

My condolences too. Not everyone ends up with a good mother-in-law, so you were lucky to have had her. (I had a good mother-in-law too, by the way. She's still alive, but no longer my mother-in-law.)

[G-Fafif]

Very sorry to hear this. You and your family have our condolences, Dave.

Jerry Springer, 78.

[metirish]

Wow , when I first came to this country I could not believe what I was watching

RIP, Jerry

[Frayed Knot]

Was actually born in England to German-Jewish parents who had fled Germany for all the obvious reasons. Came over to this country just a few years later so Jerry essentially grew up as an American.
Was at one point Mayor of Cincinnati which must have been ... interesting?

Carolyn Bryant, 88, who set in motion the brutal murder of Emmett Till when Till allegedly offended Bryant by flirting with her.

Thank you all for your kind words. Deeply appreciated.

Condolences my friend

Marshmallow I’m sorry for your loss. She sounds like a special woman and you are very lucky to have had her as a mother in law. It’s not an easy job to be a MIL and if you made a bond with her then she must have known the right ways to make you welcome to the family.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice tribute Marshy.

I've been away on a family vacation. I'm just getting caught up with happenings of the past week. Sorry to hear of your mother in laws passing, MGIM. That was a beautiful tribute you wrote in her memory. Sounds like a wonderful woman. Belated condolences to you and your family.

Thank you so much. The kindness from the Pool and my colleagues has been comforting. It's been a tough couple of weeks. We're sorting through all the post-funeral things now, and that's been difficult.
