Local newspaper announcing Rosemary Clooney's death for sale on eBay

I was reading about an interview George had with Larry King who asked George if his Aunt Rosemary died alone. George replied she died "gracefully." That touched my heart.

Here's a quote from the Larry King interview in 2006.

KING: Did Rosie die well?

CLOONEY: She died gracefully.

KING: That's what I mean.

CLOONEY: She died with class. Hard to do, I think. I was there with her the day she died. And it's a tricky thing, you know? It is -- the interesting thing I found was it was the most personal thing you can do, it's the most private thing you can do.

People always say, aren't you afraid of dying alone? You die alone, you know, it is the one journey that only you are taking. And it was interesting to watch how graceful and how beautiful she did that. She made everyone understand that she could handle it, and that's -- you know, that makes it easier on the people who stick around.

Thanks cindi for telling that story....I'd not heard it before although I knew George was with his Aunt Rosemary when she died.

You're welcome Joanna - The article is interesting. If anyone has about a half hour to spare I copied it below from CNN.

Thanks CindiGirl. I so enjoy George's interviews. When I read them, I can actually "see and hear" him. Weird...
