She had cancer, don't remember which kind at the moment, but it did creep up on her rather quickly. IOW, it wasn't detected early enough to help. I don't think she was even aware of it when she sat guard over Terri in Oct. 2003. I don't know if Michael refused to get her treatment, but I do know that she died in Michael and Jodi's home. I would never put anything past Michael. For all we know, it could have been a way to exert control over Jodi. That *man* gives me the eebie-jeebies!
Are we supposed to believe she died from cancer in his house, and he didn't lift a finger to give her an early release? I ain't buyin' it! Are you?
