"Family Circus" mom passed away

The wife of cartoonist Bil Keane, who created the comic strip "Family Circus" has passed away. Keane said that his wife was the inspiration for the Mommy in the strip:

Quote:
"When the cartoon first appeared, she looked so much like Mommy that if she was in the supermarket pushing her cart around, people would come up to her and say, 'Aren't you the Mommy in 'Family Circus?' and she would admit it."
Inspiration for 'Family Circus' Mommy dies at 82 - Yahoo! News

How sad! She was always portrayed in a loving, calm, caring way. I am sure she was a great person. Rest in peace and peaceful wishes to the family.
