Passed an American / British Patriot at 103 Years Young. And those who know Pink Floyd's Song... yes... she was real.

Hubby and I love big band & WWII music. Loved Vera...she was and still is such an icon! You only had to hear one note of her distinctive voice in a song to recognize it was Vera.
We'll meet again Vera. Thank you for uniting a generation during the darkest time.
Love her voice and songs. Some can bring a tear to my eyes.
I'm with you Brother... I'm floored never heard she passed until some random message... She was/is/was amazing voice for those Boys...
There was a moderate amount of mainstream coverage of her death. I remember from when it happened. She was never as prominent here in America as in England, so I imagine that there was much more coverage in the UK than America.
Unusually for someone as young as me, I grew up listening to her music.
This song is probably her best performance of all time:

I posted We'll Meet Again on FB for my best friend, who was dying, to let him know how much I would miss him for the while we would be apart.. :'(
Was just thinking of pink Floyd with that title...
