Goodbye, Viola Elder.
I found out a few nights ago that Larry Elder's mother died last Friday.

She was a sweet, good-hearted woman, and the entire country will mourn for her. We all knew her from her appearances on Larry's show; some call her "America's Mother." Larry, of course, called her "the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court."
It made me angry, of course: that's always my first reaction to loss of this kind.
But what she did while she was here was truly amazing. An inspirational gal.

Oh my, I haven't listened to Elder for a while, but I sure remember (and loved) his segments with his mom.
What a wise (and wisecracking) elder stateslady!
Sorry to hear this news.

What a wonderful experience it was for me to meet Viola Elder last year at the Nixon Library with her famous son, Larry Elder.
At "Find A Grave," one can honor her with a note. On July 2nd we celebrated her birthday.
Here's the website of the "Chief Justice of the Supreme Court" & "America's Mom."
Click here: Find A Grave: Viola Conley Elder (1924 - 2006)
