I hope the wrong Bush was not put on the 2014 DL.... http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/31/22127483-former-first-lady-barbara-bush-hospitalized-for-respiratory-related-issue?lite

Billy Graham

I forgot 7. It is Valerie Harper.

Here are my top 25: 1. Rev. Billy Graham 2. General Wojciech Jaruzelski 3. James Garner 4. Nancy Reagan 5. George HW Bush 6. Kirk Douglas 8. Olivia DeHaviland 9. I.M. Pei 10. Prince Phillip 11. Zsa Zsa Gabor 12. Eli Wallach 13. Ariel Sharon 14. Harper Lee 15. Doris Day 16. Fats Domino 17. David Rockefeller 18. Little Jimmy Dickens 19. Loretta Lynn 20. Luise Rainer 21. Beverly Cleary 22. Senator Howard Baker 23. Jerry Lewis 24. Chuck Berry 25. Henry Kissinger

http://www.newsmax.com/US/ruth-graham-billy-peace/2013/12/31/id/544533 Sounds like the end is approaching. If he doesn't go in the next several hours (unlikely), I am hoping DL has him at #1 on the 2014 list (or at least in the top 5).

In an interview, today on "Meet the Press", Franklin Graham gives this update on his father. http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-live/2013/12/franklin-graham-the-pope-is-not-the-judge-180307.html

It is interesting to note that Kirk Douglas and Eli Wallach are tied for 11 appearances on Deathlist. With the passing of Ronnie Biggs, they hold the record on the 2013 DL, for the most appearances. However, I have seen no evidence that one or both of them will be a "goner" soon.

Got a visit at home from the Denver Broncos http://www.denverbroncos.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/Fox-Team-Captains-Visit-Former-President-George-HW-Bush/1a54bc7b-e967-4f37-a149-14bf041a6520

I keep on with Billy Graham.

And of course the National Enquirer has its usual celebrity "sad last days" http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/billy-grahams-sad-last-days

Franklin still asking for prayers, nothing else new to report.... http://www.newschannel5.com/story/24277090/billy-grahams-son-asks-people-to-pray-for-his-father

At age 89, the old man has joined.....Twitter. And ironically, his first post is about dying... http://www.voanews.com/content/reu-former-president-george-h-w-bush-joins-twitter/1808535.html

If he makes it to 2014, he is #1 on my personal Deathlist.

This is the most recent news item, I can find on her, from a month ago. Mind still sounds sharp, but nothing new or specific on her physical condition. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865590922/Peppery-Nancy-Reagan-has-vigorous-views-on-Obama-White-House-Noonan-says.html?pg=all

Got an award, last week. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-dole-honored-for-work-in-helping-to-feed-the-poor/2013/12/12/667b36ac-635c-11e3-aa81-e1dab1360323_story.html

Billy Graham, again

http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20131215/NEWS/312150088/Spokesman-Billy-Graham-s-health-holding-steady- I am still thinking he will go in the next few weeks. If he doesn't make the cut, this year, he will be early in 2014.

Billy Graham

From earlier, today, grandson says Graham "is not doing well at all". Sounds as though he is bedridden. http://crossmap.christianpost.com/news/will-graham-says-that-his-grandfather-billy-graham-is-very-weak-and-is-ready-to-go-home-to-be-with-the-lord-7497

Still no change, could #11 be right around the corner? http://www.wsmv.com/story/24184490/citing-bout-with-infection-franklin-graham-asks-for-prayers-for-his-father

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/12/nelson-mandela-funeral-george-w-bush-will-attend-mandela-179061.html?hp=l1 Obviously won't be making it to the Mandela funeral....

http://www.news-record.com/news/article_b1d733f2-5f4d-11e3-91a2-001a4bcf6878.html It looks like the decline has been very fast, just in the "last few days".
