R.I.P. Wheezy

I just heard that Isabelle Sanford, AKA Wheezy Jefferson just died at the age of 87. Perhaps more than the recent deaths of Ray Charles or Marlon Brando, this one will effect me the most. She was like the cranky but common sense black mother I never had. Now who are elderly black women to aspire to, Maya Angelou? Screw that!
