Many of her friends had been following her condition closely as she had been in hospice for a while.

A couple of links about her.

Bob Strauss passed away January 14th 2009 at Wilmington Hospital of a heart attack.

The News Journal did not publish an obit, but the University City Review in Philadelphia did a very nice piece about him.

A bit of sad news

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Just saw this in the newsjournal this morning.

Barbie Ryan passed away on Saturday the 23, the day of the reunion. I don’t know the cause of death.
Beth and I had spoken with her about a month earlier. She had called asking about the reunion particulars and I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with her. She was dealing with the emotional weight of a divorce on top of some poor health issues.  In the last year she had spent several weeks (4?) in the hospital in a coma. And although she really wanted to come to the reunion, she didn’t feel healthy enough to make it.

We’ll miss her.
