Pancreatic cancer is such a cruel disease. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful person.

and Jamaica's loss, malaise.

for a media personality but she was larger than life and a fixture in our homes for 40 years.
I feel it for her family and for poor Alan who has lost his wife and his radio partner.

I've lost several lately, mostly from self abuse.
Two are in the hospital, one here , one in Tucson.
It is gut-wrenching. I struggle with the depression it causes.
But spring is finally here. A little planting, a little warmth.
Life goes on. So sorry mal.

so many people are dying as they do when we reach a certain age.
The thing is Dorraine was 59 - that is so young.

Pancreatic cancer is such a terrible disease.

I feel it for her kids, her sibling and her former co-host. Her husband died of the same disease some years back

I am sorry for their loss for you, Mr Alan and the many who knew and loved them. May they rest in peace, and never be forgotten. Prayers for their loved ones that they will be comforted, and blessed. Peace malaise.

and welcome to DU

When you have seen and heard a person for so long on TV and radio, they are like a member of your family. My condolences to you and all who were within the sound of her voice.

They become almost family members, the best of them. I'm sorry for your loss.

When they asked her to o TV Prime Time news, she resisted. She didn't want to be known publicly and yet she was so gracious to strangers.

much too young

tonight

without us really recognizing it. I'm glad that this woman left such an impression on the citizens of Jamaica. It takes a special person to do that.

in the morning was hilarious - and she started so young that every young person grew up with her.

I find that the singers and actors also become part of our being.
Dorraine was so calm during hurricane preparations. She will be missed.
