Tina Turner Dies at 83

As a child, I distinctly remember my Grandma lamenting the deaths of famous people and friends. Although back then I could not comprehend the reasons for her sadness, those moments have stuck with me as I have aged, and I have wondered all these years since what famous person’s death would cause me to lament as did my Grandma; for I only came to realize as I passed through my young adulthood that she was not only mourning those who had passed but also the passing time of her life. Tina Turner is not that death for me, but it’s getting closer. I suppose that I won’t know who the person is until the news hits me.
