Yes she and Ossie had a love for the ages. Wonderful human being. She will be missed.

I had the same thought. Met them twice, they were lovely. Ossie died the day before my mom & we didn't tell her & I was so glad we didn't because she would have been heartbroken.

Diane, I'm sure when she finally met him her heart was overjoyed.
