Well said CK and JM. These ‘Kings’ will live on in our hearts and history for a very very long time. There is spiritual life after death.

That was a time when dignity was precious. Her lady-like bearing, well shown in the photo above, had a fiery meaning then, that it may be hard to understand now.

It went way beyond a pretty woman looking contained and civil. Way, way beyond. Look at the intensity of that magnificent face.

She was perfect for her role. Perfection will always inspire awe.

That was my time, you know.

The light in that face will never go out.

She was such a lady.

Somehow that meant everything, and was potent, and was enough.

“Rest In Peace”

For dearly departed Jews, we wish, ‘may their memory be blessed’ and ‘baruch dayan emet’. The ‘rest in peace’ is usually what the goyim wish their deceased, I wonder what Jews traditionally bless goyim who’ve died, or if the ‘rest in peace’ is a justice to their souls.

As for the Kings, it is certainly sad to see the previous generation go. A generation of ‘leaders’ is leaving us and either they have not bequeathed ‘leadership’ to their children (us) or that the conditions for which ‘leadership’ was nurtured in the past simply don’t exist anymore.
