[mrblue]

I'll be glad if I'm still alive at 90 yrs old. It is indeed time God took her. May she rest in peace.

I sure hope I never get that old. I mean, what's left in your life after a certain point?

[itr4cho]

damn, she lived through a century.

[haishin]

I agree with Starfox. There really is nothing to live for when you are that old, It's better to die before your kids. I can't believe her family lives for so long.

i think 80 is pushing it, id rather just die than sit around incapcitated for all those years after

Wow, that's amazing. I can't begin to wonder what it must be like to be on this planet for that long. She's seen so much!

Japan's oldest person dies at 113

"TOKYO - Japan's oldest person has died at a hospital in southwestern Japan, her nursing home said Saturday. She was 113.

Tsuneyo Toyonaga, who became the country's oldest person last August, died Friday, days after she was transferred to a nearby hospital because she lost her appetite, said Masuko Yamamoto, deputy director of the Yume-no-Sato nursing home in the southern city of Nangoku.

Born on May 21, 1894, Toyonaga had been in the nursing home the last 12 years. She was a darling among caretakers and fellow residents, Yamamoto said.

"She was dozing off most of the day recently but when she was awake she used to enjoy singing children's songs. Once she started singing she wouldn't stop until we all got tired and had to stop her," she said.

Toyonaga is survived by five children and 10 grandchildren, Kyodo News agency said."
