JUST IN: Singer Dame Vera Lynn, famed for boosting British morale during WWII, dies age 103.

Michael D. Langan, writing as the culture critic for Fort Myers NBC affiliate WBBH, said the lyrics"We'll Meet Again" give hope to anyone facing their own, or a loved one's demise."Don't know know where, don't know when, but it will happen. That's enough for me."

"As we look to the white cliffs on Monday, I will be thinking of all our brave boys — the cliffs were the last thing they saw before heading off to war and, for those fortunate enough to return, the first thing they saw upon returning home," Lynn said"I feel so blessed to have reached this milestone and I can't think of a more meaningful way to mark the occasion.

She sang with famed British band leaders Billy Cotton and Bert Ambrose, and regularly appeared on a BBC radio show of noted pianist Charlie Kunz. "I was very similar to their sisters and their girlfriends. They thought I was one of them, on their social level and they could relate to me," Lynn said."I gave them news from home about a baby being born to Sgt. Jones or somebody other. I'd go visit the wives take some flowers and talk about it on another programme."made Lynn a Dame Commander of the British Empire.
