Queen Elizabeth II may not have had a huge personal impact on the lives of most Americans
one writer described how a simple act from the queen just before her death touched her little girl's heart
Writer Monique Jessen wrote that in a poignant moment she opened the mailbox to find a letter from the queen addressed to her 5 year old daughter the same day the queen died
During happier times my daughter and her friend had drawn pictures
wishing the Queen a Hapee Jooblee and she received a card in return thanking her for the 'kind message with two pictures of the queen from ELIZABETH
Two hours later it was announced she had died
Even more heart melting is what the little girl said next
She just ran out of time Mummy so she had to do it today my daughter told me as she put her card up on display next to her sister's Paddington Bear and drifted off to sleep with memories of her dutiful extraordinary Queen
Before her death on September 7 Queen Elizabeth was known for little acts of kindness like this
For instance when the mother of a 1 year old girl in Ohio sent the palace a photo of the little one dressed up as the monarch for Halloween, the queen wrote the little girl a letter in return
