Yes 2016 can blow me. Two aunts (one my godma) died and my bro had a heart attack. Fuck this year.

Terrible, I didn't think she was that old. This saddens me.

Damn, seems to sudden, I guess they were keeping it private. Feels like she had been on very recently, but maybe she had been away for some time? She was doing the convention coverage at least....maybe those were her latest broadcasts?

RIP my dear..

Been a NewsHour fan since I was a kid, this is really sad. Tim Russert sad.

This shitty year is just amazing.

Sad indeed, she was great on Newshour. Very intelligent and professional.

I was shocked. No idea she was ill.

No idea she was even 61 for that matter.

Terrible loss.

 

[PokerGuy]

No idea who she was (don't watch PBS), but 61 is very young. Cancer sucks.

Terrible news! The PBS news-hour is my favorite news show. She will be missed.
