Loss of an icon! Prayers to her family. What was her condition? Was it ever disclosed?

And Clinton's inauguration and of course Obama 's inauguration.
She prepared us for this since Monday. So glad we celebrated her here on DU.
Thank you Aretha for knocking them all off the headlines. You rule! RESPECT!
