Celebrity Deaths

WOW! I guess it is true that they come in 3s. First Roger Ebert a couple of days ago and now Annette Funicello and Margaret Thatcher. Annette was 70 and died from complications of Mulstiple Sclerosis. She was first diagnosed with the disease in 1987. So this was a long battle that finally came to an end. Annette became famous as one of the original cast members of the Mickey Mouse Club. She later went on to star many Teenage Beach movies in the 1960s with heartthrob Frankie Avalon.

Margaret Thatcher, Great Britain's first and only female Prime Minister to date passed away from following a major stroke today. She was 87 and had been in poor health for some time. Current British Prime Minister David Cameron said she "didn't just lead our country, she saved our country". Maragret was also known fondly as the Iron Lady for her tenacity, strong will and no holds barred take no prisoners type attitude. She will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace.
