I was saddened to hear of the death of advice columnist Ann Landers yesterday. Apparently she died of bone marrow cancer. Even though she was 83, I was surprised to hear this news. She has always been there in my morning paper, and I enjoyed reading her column.

She will be missed.

I was interested to hear that she was not the original "Ann Landers", she took over the "role".

We didn't always agree with Ann Landers' opinions/advice, but her columns always made for interesting discussions in my family. You know, I don't think there will be another pair like Ann and her twin sister (Dear) Abby. Who compares today in advice column writing? I still read Heloise (who is, in fact, the daughter of the original Heloise). I've read Ann Landers' column for as long as I can remember reading the paper (over 30 years).

Ann Landers helped raise me. I found her column when I was a young teen in the late 60's and going through lots of confusing times. As I read her column daily, I would learn more about myself and how to deal with everyday situations. She was a very wise woman and I appreciated her advice along my growing years. (I'm old too Juju)
