Following on from the recent deaths of Ruby Winters, Ruby Wilson & one of the Manhattans, it seems that Della Reese is in a very bad way ....

She has stated ...  “My life is at stake, .... I don’t have type 2 diabetes — type 2 diabetes has me.”

Della is best known in the US as a jazz singer & actress but we remember her 70's soul 45's the best .......

Wait, did she actually die? I thought it was incorrect?

No, she (Ruby Winters) did die back when I posted the original thread. The confusion was caused as Ruby Wilson was also close to death at the very same time (but hadn't actually passed at the time the 1st Ruby died). Unfortunately, both Ruby's passed away within days of each other. 

I told Mike about the situation ages ago but he decided not to re-open the old threads to allow the actual details to be documented.

as i recall rather than delete one and edit another thread as you suggested in  a rather over the top pm, I asked you to post a new thread with a link to inform people, which you didn't

do suggest that you carry on any discussion on site matters in the support forum and leave this thread for what it was intended for 

regards
