It's interesting that she died July 8 and it took one month for the news to become public. It's a good thing Vandal didn't have a DorA game in the interim. Scoring that would have been a nightmare.

Well, since 1980, everything she does is double and triple checked. They wanted to make sure she was not cheating death.

Hopefully she didn't cut in line at the Pearly Gates.
