We don\u2019t always see them, but when we can, we\u2019ll tune in. \u00a0So we were watching a delightful young lady impress us for the last several days. \u00a0Though I could tell she didn\u2019t always seem to be at the top of her game. \u00a0 Still, she did well, and we assume she might qualify for the Jeopardy tournament. \u00a0It didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

The fact is, she was dying of cancer the whole time. \u00a0Only days before her episodes aired, she lost her fight and passed away<\/a>. \u00a0After her last episode, Alex Trebek filmed a tribute explaining what happened. \u00a0I do believe that all humans would unite in fellowship to praise and cheer if cancer ceased to exist. \u00a0We hear that dreadful word too often.<\/p>\n

God love her and her loved ones. \u00a0I\u2019m \u00a0glad that she got to fulfill her dream to be on Jeopardy, and fulfill it so well. \u00a0Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.<\/p>\n
