There are many occasions upon which ROL is just classless & tasteless. This is definitely one of them.

This is VERY private information. I am deeply troubled at the airing of her health problems when it certainly was very clear she didn't want it to be public knowledge. Why do this to her? It's evil. Shame on ROL.

What poor taste and how low to lay out Mrs. Short's personal health issues like this. ROL should be ashamed for such a despicable disrespect of such personal family matters. Of course they went digging to find this info.
