Millvina Dean - Last Of The Titanic


An end of an era arrived today with the passing of Millvina Dean. She died Sunday at age 97 after suffering from pneumonia. Dean was just over two months old when the Titanic hit an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, sinking less than three hours later. She survived the disaster along with her mother and brother, but her father died that evening.

Thats sad. I heard the theme song of Titanic tonight and thought of her and all the others that died on that ship.

She looks kinda like Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls. How sad! May she rest in peace.

Can you imagine outliving your father by almost a hundred years? Just think of how many people she had to say goodbye to in her lifetime. Rest in peace.
