Pretty amazing. I'm glad the tandem instructor's landing helped grandma keep her feet elevated long enough to keep her from breaking her ankles under herself.

She lived a long full life. Often people hang on for a special event, their 100th birthday, their granddaughter’s wedding, or other events. After that, it is like the body says it is time to go.
