Oh I didn't know she's succumbed to the dreaded AD..poor lady, but we just hear so many people these days who seem to be suffering from this, many of them so young too..

Anyway 88 doesn't sound old does it, until you think of it as almost 90..that's OLD...who would have imagined Joanne woodward would get to be nearly 90 Bless her..
