BCB Reader Little Rock Ryno Fan Dies
I was as shocked to hear this as I'm sure you are to read it. LRRF, who was a valued member of this community (real name: Trish), died suddenly of a heart attack on July 9. You'll remember that her brother Thomas also died suddenly back in March, right after Len and Bob were kind enough to send him regards when he was in the hospital.
My deepest and most sincere condolences to her family.

The family is in my thoughts
This can be boiled down to a fact of life, but it doesn’t make it any easier to bear, no matter how well or how little you knew the person.
There is no place like Nebraska - Go Huskers!
My condolences as well, Al
I’ll keep her in my thoughts, and wish nothing but the best to friends and family.

Trish lost her husband Philip a few years ago, then her brother Thomas last year and now she’s gone too. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.
Al, you have created such a community
here that we all feel sad about the loss of someone we never met. She and her family are in my thoughts.
Just such sad news...

Rest in peace, LRRF.
As far as I can tell, this is her last post. I recommended it, and I hope you will do the same.

A little more
I was in shock when I typed that and forgot to add something.
In that email with all she was going through she mentioned she noticed I mentioned a health issue and said “Hope everything goes well with that”

How old was she?
What kind of heart ailment was it?
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
47 years old.
I don’t know the details of the heart problem—only that this was sudden and unexpected.

Obit
Al do you know if there’s a link to her obit anywhere?

There was an obit in the Little Rock paper.
It’s online behind a pay wall. I’m not sure what benefit this paper gets from putting a death notice (not an “obituary”, an obituary is an article written by a reporter on someone who dies, a “death notice” is what you see many columns of, paid for by family members) behind a pay wall, but so be it.

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.
