RIP Miep Gies. You lived a good life and left the world better than you found it. May we have the courage to do likewise, and the fortune to never need it.

So true.

There are good reasons not to forget what she has done and why she had to do it.

Thanks for the link.

I thought I recognized that name -hadn't realized she was still alive until recently. Few of us are capable of that kind of courage.

And looking at the photo, I was also struck by her beauty in old age.

It is very sad she has passed on. She was a remarkable woman.

I can't believe she's died. I mean, I knew she was getting on a bit, but I didn't realise she'd made it to a hundred. She was really kind of something.

You summed up my feelings perfectly.

I got a little choked up just now. Such a wonderful lady! I hadn't realize she was still alive until recently, either.

Thank you for posting this.
