Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic passed away today.
She had an auction last month of her remaining keepsakes from the ship so she could stay in her nursing home. The auction did not bring in enough money so some celebrities kicked in some extra dough. And now she’s passed on. I don’t know how I feel about this. Maybe sad, remorseful that she did not live to see the 100th anniversary? The end of the movie was kinda cheesy but its nice to think that she’s joined all those who went on before her. Those who quietly abandoned their lives because they knew there was no hope. My grandparents would not be born for another thirty to forty years after the ship sank so these last tendrils that touch that era slip further away from us every day.
God speed, Ms. Dean.
