I remember watching that Mousketeer program as a kid.

Not really, IIRC, she's had MS for quite some time. But still, when you see people you grew up with passing on, you know you're getting up there too...

She didn't make your Dead Pool, at any rate. :tongue:

An article I read said she had been in a MS coma for years.

RIP Annette
