I remember that day. A few years ago, in the fall, our local community received the unfortunate news: a teenage girl had taken her life. Almost instantly, a thick dark cloud crept into the city and for a moment, everything seemed to stop. Perhaps, in solidarity for the life we had lost. But, that silence only lasted momentarily.
London Bridge has fallen.
After her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle at the ripe age of 96 on September 8th; her passing was announced by Buckingham Palace later that evening.
Her son, Prince Charles III at 73, becomes King.
