Deaths Happen In Threes They Say

My generation was affected

by the style of a special

woman...

Lilly Pulitizer. 

She was well known for her 

brightly colored fabrics

many made into shifts...

usually pink and green.

What most people don't know

is that she developed those prints

to hide the fruit stains that came

from selling produce at her

fruit stand in Palm Beach, Florida.

She was a stylist and a socialite

and, from most accounts,

a kind woman.

I think Jackie Kennedy put her

"on the map" for most people

by wearing her clothing....

a Palm Beach connection that served 

both of them well.

Those were the sweet days of Camelot

for many of us.

And-

 Margaret Thatcher.

I don't know a lot about her politics.

I do know that she was a strong woman,

served in Parliament

and was called 

The Iron Lady.

She was well respected

and stood strong in a man's world.

If you want more info about her

you can find it here.

And, last but not least,

Annette Funicello

She was a Mousekeeter 

that stole our hearts and then 

went on to make beach movies.

She was a sweet, lovely person

and lost her battle with

Multiple Sclerosis.

Heaven has three new angels.

I hope they all held hands,
wearing pink & green polyester shifts,

going through the gates.

The world will miss them all.
