Scarier to me: Tony Snow was younger (once-time White House spokeman, 53.)

Neighbors son-in-law just went at 35 (cancer)

Well if we want to get really depressed, the girl I had a crush on in
3rd grade (AND later) died of breast cancer in our early 20s, a couple
of friends died of diabetic complications in our 30s; lost two friends
to cancer last month.

Dang, that's majorly depressive and well off-topic!

Let's switch to those who have survived LONGER from having cut the docklines.

As I recall, there's a famous cruiser or two who headed out with a
6-month prognosis and are still going many years later.

Someone, PLEASE remind me of whom I'm referring.

I'll even accept those who improved their life after taking off. I need
some cheering up.
