Andrew Strauss's wife dies aged 46 after cancer battle
The wife of Andrew Strauss, England's former captain and managing director, has died aged 46 following a battle with lung cancer.
"It is with great sadness and immense grief that we have to announce that Ruth passed away today as a result of her rare lung cancer," read a statement from Strauss, issued by the ECB on behalf of his family. "Sam, Luca and I will miss her terribly."
Strauss met his wife Ruth (nee McDonald) in 1998-99 while playing grade cricket in Sydney, and the pair married in 2003, shortly before he broke into the England reckoning for the first time.

Sad really sad and truly heartbreaking...only 46...My condolences to Andrew Strauss and her family.
Cancer is one disease that does not discriminate; rich or poor, black or white, Republican or democrat. Seriously though when will they find a cure for this menace? We could find billions to explore Mars and manufacture sophisticated nuclear weapons but we cannot find a cure for this menace.

My Brother died at age 28 , from Bone
Cancer , also known as OsteoSarcoma it was devastating to my Parents , moreso due to the fact that my other 3 Siblings were unable to attend his
Funeral , as they were out of the Country ; and WE were unable to contact them .
My Parents , my other Siblings & I
are not people who outwardly show
our Emotions , However everything went well . The Funeral is forever seared in my mind .
