'Dear Abby' Pauline Phillips Dies at 94
 

As Dear Abby professed in 1964 and which still holds true today: "The purpose of life is to amount to something and have it make some difference that you lived at all."

Dear Abby Dead; Pauline Phillips, Advice Columnist, Dies at 94 : People.com

RIP - Pauline.

I found it very intersting that Dear Abby and her sister dies (if I am not mistaken) only 1 day apart. Not to mention that they were twins! And, they both passed from alzheimer's. RIP.

According to wiki, twin sister Eppie, aka Ann Landers, died 6/22/2002 of multiple myeloma.

Would she, as a twin, have developed Alzheimer's if she had lived another 10 years? Maybe, likely, or no statistical significance?

She was another victim of Alzheimer's, "the long goodbye."

There have been many.
