“What a extraordinary life of public service. What an extrodinary life period. The queen served her country, until the very end, with class, strength, dignity, and honor. She was married for 74 years, a mother to four, a grandmother, and a great grandmother. #QueenElizabeth saw it all and somehow always managed to stay above all the noise. She was a legend. May god rest her soul, and may her family come together to grieve and to honor her extrodinary legacy. She has many life lessons for all of us. When I think of her, I think of how despite everything going on in her own family and in her country, she just kept serving, kept trying, kept going. Carry on. That’s what she did, and boy, she did it well. God bless.”

Most British people have never known another monarch, so she’s been a thread winding through all our lives. She did her duty by the country right up until her dying hours, and became an enduring, positive symbol of Britain all over the world. She’s earned her rest.”

“A beautiful moment for a woman who defined an era. She gave her people seven decades of service and will be remembered for her dedication. My heart is with her family and those who loved her. Rest peacefully Queen Elizabeth.”
