Same, I swear I just saw an article an hour ago with her mom saying she was in stable condition.  Crazy business.

=( It is true, I hoped it was one of these hoaxes, but she´s gone. R.I.P.
Kinda young, 60 is not old at all. My gradpa is 84 and doing fine =(

This year cannot end soon enough.

Worst year in recent memory.

She was probably going to be a part of Episode VIII, it will be a bitter taste to see what they do about it.

Whats with this last month.I swear, if it werent for my personal acomplishments, I would have said that this was a horrible way to end this year.2017 cant come soon enough.
