At 94, she should be 'reasoned with' for short speeches. Mind you she was standing! We should be happy, contended with that and grateful to God for still having her around and this strong.

Cicely used to do modeling in her earlier years before she started acting if I remember correctly. What an amazing woman she was and in her 90's at that. Cicely, you were a true legend in your time and ours. You were blessed by God, and in turn, blessed us with your great gift displayed on stage, television and screen. Truly your light will be a trailblazer among the stars Cicely and burn bright forever. ❤🌷🙏
