    Not claiming this is of utmost importance, but why would a site which today has listed Robert Hegyes and Joe Paterno as having passed , still does not list Dolores Hope as deceased? And yet the page says update 1/21/2012. She passed away in September at 102. Of course the person who maintains the site was notified by the survey etc. Late night diversion, certainly. :)

Her white hair is richly coifed, her skin is smooth and her voice is deep and warm. Her 10 decades were represented by 10 kiosks set...
