I just found out that Shirley Temple Black co-founded the National Federation of MS Societies in 1961. Her brother was diagnosed with MS in 1952. Thank you for your support, Shirley and may you rest in peace.

Wow - I didn't know that!
I remember seeing a lot of her movies on our black and white TV years ago. She is now on that "Good Ship Lollipop" sailing to heavenly realms and may she rest in peace forever

I didn't know either until I read a comment made on another site. I posted on Facebook this morning that she went to heaven on the Good Ship Lollipop.

Thanks for the information, marybenes
I have seen every one of her movies, more than once. She was such a talented child.
