TDE's oldest actress dies at 102 years old. Beatrice Gilliard.

She was 95 years young when director Toussaint Duchess (Lady T) met Mrs Gilliard on a beautiful sunny day, walking on the sidewalk in Jacksonville Florida. Lady T approached Mrs Gilliard and ask her if she would be willing to do a play and can she act? Mrs Gilliard replied, with her hands on her hips.." I can do anything but lie and you can call me anything but late". Lady T, instantly gave her the role in the "Something miraculous stage play as the fierce "Aunt Dunk". Lady T, offered to give her a ride home. She said " Im not too old to drive". At 95 she was surely driving. Drove herself to rehearsal every day.
WE want to think GOd for giving us 102 years with HIS most WISE DAUGHTERS. She became Lady T's prayer partner, laughing buddy, dancing buddy and sitting in the yard yard under the tree potting plants. AUNT DUNK YOU WILL SURELY BE MISSED.
Enjoy the moments in which Lady T and the cast spent with AUNT DUNK.
Rest in Peace my heart.
