Renal failure is a terrible way to die. My husband died of complications from renal failure. He was 29. WOW. I'm in total shock! I used to watch her on GH when I was little. Wow.
Ah, TMZ, such a touching obituary. What, not a picture of what she used to look like? Or how about about a picture of her failed organs?
When Britney dies will you show close ups of her dead organs? And then will your website need to exist upon her passing?
I use to watch General Hospital all the time. I feel so bad about her, she was a good actress. So young yet too..... Rest in piece.. and our Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Thanks for this story, TMZ. Shell was a talented actress. Soap stars are so often under appreciated.
Ignore the dense, was she Monica Quartermaines sister? Is that right?
