R.I.P., Sally.
Stupid iPhone. NOT a dislike at all.
Another loss to pancreatic cancer. Jon Lord of Deep Purple died last week from pancreatic cancer.
Godspeed.
At the moment the Shuttle broke free of it’s moorings, ’til the time it achieved orbit, I think she experienced “life” on a level most of us can only dream.
Let’s continue to dream…
For the sake of living.
Ride Sally Ride… RIP
Good grab!
Godspeed indeed. What a great life. I don’t know if she meets the definition of ‘heroic’ as we discussed the other day, but she certainly was notable, and good, and a force for good.
Rest in Peace, Doctor Ride.
For my generation, there is something absolutely magical and inspiring about an astronaut. I can only imagine the conversations they would have with G-d.
May the Angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs greet you at your arrival
and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the choir of Angels greet you and like Lazarus,
who once was a poor man,
may you have eternal rest.
MSM hopes that your first and foremost thought is the fact that she was a lesbian.

Well, they failed.
Again.
A pioneer departs. Thank you for your contribution.
