MATTHEW DESMOND CARROWAY died peacefully at his home in Philadelphia on Monday, the 22nd of January. His battle with cancer lasted 24 years, but he never lost hope, or his sense of humor. “I’ll beat this thing yet,” he would say. In a metaphorical way, you have, Matt, you truly have. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Jolie, and his two sons, Edward and Armand.

JESSICA STEWART BENSLEY joined God last Friday, the 19th of January, when she tragically lost control of her car during a torrential downpour. Officers say that it is best to leave the details of the accident undisclosed, “for the sake of the family.” She is survived by her twin brother, Nathaniel.

MARTIN “MARTY” BRASELFELD passed away Monday, the 15th of January, when his heart gave out following a Knicks game. A lifelong fan, Marty would have been proud to know he went out supporting the Knicks. Born July 8, 1965, he was a friend to all who knew him. He is survived by his ex-wife Shirley and many friends. Here’s hoping they have courtside seats in heaven, Marty.

KIM PINDER-SMITH pirouetted her way into heaven Wednesday, the 17th of January, after an unlikely accident at a rehearsal of the Los Angeles Ballet. A dedicated choreographer for over 15 years, she was renowned for her fun yet disciplined teaching style. She is survived by her husband of 16 years, Jonathan Pinder-Smith.
