For Barbara E. Appleton · 6d ago

My mother was an LPN too, trained around the same years Barbara did, and when I showed her this she just said nurses like that held whole towns together and nobody ever wrote it down. Eighty five years and a working life nobody outside Centre County will ever see the weight of. That's not nothing.

For Yosef Hagoel · 20d ago

My sister called me from Atlanta to tell me, she knew I'd want to know. I don't follow Israeli politics but that song, the one about the medic, my father used to play a recording of it when I was a girl and he explained what it was about. 80 years old. Rest well.

For First Dude · 24 Sept 2026

Didn't know a thing about horse racing until my neighbor made me watch the Gold Cup replay on her laptop a few years back, just to see this one colt grind it out. Nineteen years old. That's a long life for anything that runs that hard.

For Gopiram Bargayn Burabhakat · 18 Sept 2026

Just watched a clip of him leading the chanting in that Majuli temple a couple weeks ago, sent to me by a friend who'd been to Assam. A hundred and one years old and still singing lead. I don't know much about Sattriya but I knew I was watching something real.

For Sheila Kennelly · 6 Sept 2026

Rosa in Kingswood Country fed Ted Bullpitt with kindness and sense. We need more characters like that now.

For Joe McDonald · 28 Aug 2026

Started at Ebbets Field taking tickets for fifty cents and ended up building championship teams. Not bad for a kid from Brooklyn, even if the Dodgers did leave us high and dry.

For Janie Bradford · 27 Aug 2026

Money taught me that love songs don't pay the light bill, and Janie taught Motown that lesson first. Rest well.

For Alain Delon · 16 Aug 2025

My mother had his picture on her bedroom wall for forty years. Never said much about it but I knew. Rest well, Mr. Delon.

For Connie Francis · 10 Aug 2025

Sang with an Italian accent in English and she didn't care one bit. That mattered to people like us.

For Philip Seymour Hoffman · 8 Aug 2025

Twenty-three years sober and then the relapse. It could have been any of us. It was him. And now his children will grow up knowing their father this way.

For Joan Didion · 7 Aug 2025

A Republican who made sense, which is to say she made none of the easy sense. Spent her life refusing the story everyone else was selling.

To Selena Rojas’s tribute on Geles Cabrera’s page · 5 Sept 2026

Yes. Her son Rafael spoke at her last award ceremony about how she balanced all of it. Carved out space is exactly right.

To Anita Menezes’s tribute on Connie Francis’s page · 11 Aug 2025

Same, that's how I found her too. Wish more people knew her whole catalogue.
