adrian0719 220 Posted October 6, 2016 Barbara Hagerman, a former-lieutenant governor of Prince Edward Island, is both candid and inspiring in discussing her terminal cancer. The 73-year-old Stratford resident told The Guardian Thursday that she learned of her fate on June 10 when a gynecologist in Halifax gave her the jolting news. She was told she has a mere three to nine months to live due to a rare form of ovarian cancer. She was told to have her affairs in order. I'd say she qualifies as my #1 Joker if she enters the starting gate. SC Dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roller is just a great tune. BTW Thatcher, YoungWillz established the precedent for also posting a popular song by the group/artist along with the obit. If you want....
