      She seems to be a rare case of natural causes. There is no indication that she suffered any more than the strictly unavoidable. Truly a blessed departure. I accompanied the departure of a 100-year-old last year, technically she was not diseased, but at some point, the organs simply stop working one by one. It wasn't pretty.

    She died on New Year's Eve at the age of 99.95. 2021 got one more gut punch in.

      She had 24 leap days in her life, she was 100 in my book.

        99.95 rounds up to 100. I mean, if you spend $99.95 on something, don't you say it was a hundred bucks? I know I do.
