Celeb Death Watch

Recommended Posts

Thank you, Fykey, you are sweet. I have read that people with long term illnesses tend to die when the seasons change, although one man in my circle was driving drunk with no seatbelt, so he was just an ass year round. Not to sound dis-compassionate but he left a wife and three little children with no insurance, living in a dump of a trailer. They have a lot of friends though and people who want to help in any way we can. After the grief is not as raw, they will be okay. No one beating on them any more. The oldest son is staying with us while his mom gets things together.

 

Another friend who had ovarian cancer sat in bed and paid all her bills then lay back and died. That was so typical of her. Left everything in order. One lady was 95 and ready to go. Another was a wonderful man who started the CASA program here and did so much for us foster parents. He had heart failure. All that off topic chat is just to say that a lot of people are passing away all of a sudden. But I'm not going anywhere :).

 

I feel so bad for Bobbi K., Whitney's daughter. She is so young. So much ahead of her.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I think what you say about the season changing thing is true. My father passed away 9 years ago March after a 2 year battle with cancer, then in the past year, we lost two cats, one last March from cancer and one this past Friday from a brain lesion. And I know a lot of other people who have gone through the same thing. This is becoming my worst time of year. Come on spring!

I think we are all ready to move on from the crappy start of 2015. :GroupHug:

Oh you have suffered a lot of grief. Losing your Dad is horrible, but I know how painful the loss of a pet is. I love my cats.

 

I live in a very small town where everyone knows everyone and we just lost a little second grader from unexplained seizures. They tried everything including cannabis oil but yesterday her parents had to remove life support. Still no idea what caused it.

 

I was surprised to see that the actress who played the youngest daughter on Partridge Family died this week. She was younger than me. Come on summer and give us a break from all this sadness.

Sad to hear about James Garner! And now I can't delete what I was trying to quote from gracenote and have messed up my whole post .... Wanted to copy what you said about hating to see this thread bumped!

Didn't he die a long time ago?

 

Yes, a quick search tells me he died in July of last year. Maybe something was recycled and people thought it was new?

Hmm, that explains a George Takei post on Facebook ;-)

 

And my memory is for shit....Though when I read "James Garner" I was actually picturing James Brolin....Hope that's not a jinx!!

No, it's not just you - my aunt just shared it on Facebook until someone told her he died nearly a year ago. So something about him must have generally resurfaced :)

I don't know if any of you here were/are a watcher of that Everybody Loves Raymond show, but I read earlier this week that one of the twin boys from the show took his life sometime last month. :( :( :(

 

God bless you and his family always!!!

What's going to happen to Lucille? If ever anything (at least one of the versions of Lucille) belonged in the Smithsonian, that's a given!

courtesy the New York Times: Former President Jimmy Carter has announced he has cancer that has spread.

 

I always thought Jimmy Carter was one of the few actually nice and decent people who had made it to the White House.

 

Not passed yet, but this makes me sad. :(

I really hated to hear about Jimmy Carter. Being from Georgia, we have made the trip to Plains and seen the museum, the giant peanut, his childhood home, and current home (although surrounded by a huge fence and the secret service are everywhere). He teaches Sunday school, he builds homes for Habitat for Humanity, he negotiated the treaty between Israel & Egypt that still stands. I'm not a Democrat, so this isn't a political commercial; I just like the man and his wife. It will hurt me when he passes.
