Have any of you heard of Ilan Ramon? He was an Israeli that was on the space shuttle Columbia that all of them died aboard it. Rona started a foundation. I just read that she died at the age of 54 with a disease. They did not say what the disease was. Left behind are 3 of their children. The 4th and oldest died in a training accident in the Air Force here in Israel. My heart goes out to the 3 orphans.
