I guess I didn't know she was that old. But I'm getting there too.
I didn't know she had MS:
In October 2002, Garr confirmed that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.[48] After years of uncertainty and secrecy about her diagnosis, Garr explained her reasons for deciding to go public: "I'm telling my story for the first time so I can help people. I can help people know they aren't alone and tell them there are reasons to be optimistic because, today, treatment options are available." -wiki
