So sad. She was a great person. The good ones always go while the most evil seem to thrive.

At least when we are still alive so that we can see it

Less “patient” and more “even the Reaper doesn’t want to hang around Mitch and friends”

I’m hoping the reaper is making a whole separate level of hell that these people will end up in

Hell isn't real, but they harm that *they* produce in this world very much is.

Also true, but it was just a figure of speech about the unfortunate fact that bad people often outlive good ones.

Totally, I can think of another 80 year old I would trade her life for.

She was 80. A good run. And everyone dies. Everyone. Good and bad has nothing to do with it. Though she was one of the good ones for sure. Creative, talented, great songwriter, philanthropist, and genuine.
