"Not Gone but Forgotten"

'Name is Bond. James Bond'. Who does not get goose bumps when they hear those words? Yet when Sean Connery died last month, I had to ask myself: Did I know if he was still alive? There certainly was no mention or sighting of him. His wife released a statement that said he had dementia and it took its toll on him. "It was no life for him. He was not able to express himself in any way." She was happy he died in his sleep. Just how he wanted to die. Peaceful. At home.
