It's never easy losing a loved one no matter what their age. May she Rest In Peace.

I think Kate Winslet once saved her from a fire at Branson's home.

So sorry to hear this. It just proves, as DH always says, this virus does not discriminate. It crosses every line. If a BILLIONAIRE can't keep his mother safe. . . I'm glad Mrs. Branson was able to enjoy a long life, and I'm sure she was proud of her son and the rest of her family.

 

(BTW our third good friend came home from the hospital today. His doctors are cautious, but at least he's home).

Yes. To use a British expression, at 96, she had a good innings.
