Members quartermainefan Posted April 8, 2013 Members Share Posted April 8, 2013 How sad but she suffered for so long this might be a gift. I hope they play this song in dirge fashion at her funeral. That would be a nice touch. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pWH9HGS7SvQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 8, 2013 Members Share Posted April 8, 2013 I know that she'd been suffering for quite a while (since the 90s, if I'm not mistaken), so I'm glad that she's finally free of pain and at peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 8, 2013 Members Share Posted April 8, 2013 She was diagnosed with MS in 1987, and went public with it in 1992. Her last acting appearance was in the TV movie based on her autobiography in 1995. +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 She fought so hard, and was a real inspiration to generations of Americans. She was so sweet and had a timeless appeal. I liked how in the last years of her career she was happy to throw herself into projects that were tongue-in-cheek, yet not malicious. This is where I first saw her. I watched this movie a few too many times, and she was the main reason. It's silly nonsense but she was a lot of fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r_77q0BnVs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
