It always surprised me to think she was still alive. Now I’ll have to find someone else for that. I wish I could believe in heaven, so I could picture her meeting up with George Sanders again. ---

I had been surprised to find out recently that she was still alive. I was not surprised by her death. She had been on life support for the past five years. Her death must have been a sweet relief. ---
