That's a shame. I wasn't aware she had been ill.

Pancreatic cancer is awful.  She was a groundbreaker for sure.  A real loss.

A great name for a lady who did well.

How many of us have an active verb for a last name?  Ride: a great name for an astronaut.

R.I.P.

... I wasn't aware she had been ill.

A very private lady... lost my mother to the same disease at age 65...

RIP Ms Ride...
