I’m not sure why this is so upsetting to me…but it is.
Tammy Faye Messner, the former televangelist and Christian singer who battled drug addiction and later inoperable cancer, died Friday morning, CNN’s Larry King said Saturday night. He said the family had asked him to make the delayed announcement.

She was 65.
CNN has great coverage of the death, of course.
If you haven’t seen the video interview this past Thursday, then watch it on the site. It’s like watching a dead woman talking. If you haven’t seen Tammy like I haven’t in a while, you’re in for quite the shock.
