Conceived, according to her own propaganda, via interesting rhinal means, this individual may have been the first of her sex to use a certain grand title. Daughter, wife, and stepmother/aunt to three men who bore the same name, she reigned successfully for over twenty years and is well known for her building program -- particularly for an elegant specimen of architectural symmetry that was intended to serve as her tomb. She also has an astronomical body named for her. Who was she?

I was not sure who to send this to and how to send it, so I decided to send an email to everyone on my mother's address book.

She went peacefully and she is now with God, probably talking an arm and a leg off him asking questions..haha! We will miss her, but it was good to see her at peace. The obituary will be in the Eagle herald tomorrow. The address is www.eagleherald.com. Love to all, Liane (her daughter) I received the above e-mail today and thought those that don't use the forums would like to know. The obligatory question mark?
