    Annette

    In one's mind they stay forever young while we grow old.  I was very sorry to read about her passing.   It does seem like it was 100 years ago when I couldn't wait to finish dinner and run to the sitting room to watch the Mickey Mouse Club.  I saw some of the beach movies, I wasn't a big fan of them.

    I read about this yesterday

    I read about this yesterday.Very Very Sad. If it hadn't been for her MS I believe she would've been in the spotlight all these years.Just it was so debilitating.She wasn't able. 

    She will be truly missed by all.It Brings tears to ones eyes.She will be truly missed.

    My sister, who has MS, said

    My sister, who has MS, said this on her Facebook page, after hearing about the death of Annette Funicello:  "The news about Annette Funicello is a bit unnerving to me as a fellow MS sufferer. Good to remember that our times are in God's hands. It is hard watching videos of her in later life."

    I sometimes wonder if my sister has more challenges dealing with her MS than I have had in dealing with my cancer.  I tend to think so.
