    Apparently her last words to her son were 'I miss her so much. I want to be with Carrie'.

    Former OMF member Sherry Boardman passed away.
    She was one of the people reporting on the Stephenville sightings.
    May she rest in peace.

    Eugene Cernan, last man to walk on the moon, dead at 82.
    RIP.

    Cernan was the commander of Apollo 17 in December 1972 – the last lunar mission and one of the final Apollo flights. When Cernan stepped out from lunar module “Challenger” he became the 11th person to walk on the moon.
    His lunar module pilot, Jack Schmitt, was the 12th.
    But as commander, Cernan was the last to re-enter the module, making him the last person to walk on the lunar surface.
