Darlene Graham, known to readers of the Film Handler's Movie Reviews folder as "Wife #1", passed away peacefully early Saturday morning after a long illness.

Completely oblivious to her internet "fame", she loved seeing big dumb movies on the big screen, hardly ever watching them at home on TV or DVD.

Those of you who may have served her over the years brought joy to her heart, and almost always extra butter on the popcorn.

We thank you for that.

Sam, I would like to express deepest sympathy for your loss. Wife No. 1 sounds like a wonderful lady. May God Bless you and your family.

Bob

Sounds like that show had a good long run - shame to see it close. Guess the exchange wanted the print back. May you find peace.
