Just heard that Janice Foligo passed away at age 47 from cancer. Condolences to her family and RIP. She is the 4th wife of a hockey star who passed away from cancer at a relatively young age. The others that quickly come to mind are the wives of Daryl Sittler, Bill Barber and Bob Gainey.

Thanks.

Apologies for misspelling her name. Yes, it is Janis Foligno. 47 is way too young to pass from this Good Earth. Rest in peace.
