1. Oregon! My home state, yet I never have heard of her

2. Omg this is so sad she died before her birthday which is today April 12

3. She was a part of my childhood. I used to love reading Ramona Quimby books as a kindergartner, and first grader. I also remember when the teacher would read those books to us and then allow us to watch the film at one point. Some days I wondered if she was going to be immortal or die, but now that she actually died, I miss her. R. I. P. Beverly. You were a part of my childhood.

4. She surpassed and outlived Kirk Douglas both being centenarians.

5. Will you demonize her 30 years after her death as you have Dr Seuss?

27. I grew up having the stories of Ramona Quimby and Henry Huggins read to me, and I can remember being surprised when I found out they were written fifty years ago, which I guess is a testament to how beautifully timeless they are; the fact that they still hold up to this day just shows how Beverly Cleary ingeniously captured the essence of childhood! And while she may be gone, her legacy will live on.

28. RIP
