| Elizabeth II (born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, Princess of Wales) April 21, 1926 - September 8, 2022. |
Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has crossed over the river to be with out Lord and Savior Jesus Christ today, having devoted her entire lifetime to serving the people of Great Britain and the commonwealth.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at the age of 96 at the family's summer residence at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, U.K. She faithfully served as Queen of the United Kingdom and the British commonwealth for 70 years and 7 months following the passing of her father, King George VI in 1952. She was Britain's longest-serving monarch to date.
The Queen is survived by her four children: King Charles III; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex; eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
For many of us living today, especially those of this writer's generation, Queen Elizabeth II has been a constant fixture in all our lives. Although here in the United States of America she may not have been considered our monarch, Queen Elizabeth II did feel like a distant grandmotherly figure for many of us -- a true person of great dignity and grace that will be sorely missed in this world.
May God rest her soul and be with her family and the people of Great Britain in their time of sorrow. Rest in peace, Ma'am.
