She was deeply touched by RBG and a great admirer for years. RBG leaves behind a lot of young women who will continue to promote her values. An amazing feat.

Maybe that's why men get so nervous when women achieve great things.

ways of depicting death; that’s one of very few. (I’m Jewish, or I wouldn’t have said anything).

For those of faith the Torah does hint at life after death. But as it is, Judiasm is a focus on the living world.

You know we are in a sad state of affiars when the Republicans were allready dancing on her grave by talking about replacing her before she was even buriied and her body was still warm. I think a few toons like that might actually stir some feathers and open up some eyes but that might be asking too much of the GOP now a days!
