hear of this. I celebrated Kane's birthday for the last two years and was excited about her upcoming 120! She is a beautiful woman and an inspiration to all of us. She is a hero to me--that for which life exists! She is life in every sense of the word. She will always be special to me, even though I have never met her. She is right--she cannot die--she lives on in all of us. Her 199+ years have left an indelible stamp of her spirit on this world. My condolences to her family and all who knew her. Love you always, dear Kane. Dr. Lisa Miller
