Pretty much how I see it. We had an 86 year old woman pass away last week at church. It was kind of unexpected, since she was is pretty good health overall - she was still independent, she drove, etc. She lived a very rich life (escaped from East Germany in '55) and had incredibly strong faith. She frequently spoke of dying and had no fear of it. The way she passed away (respiratory infection, sick for less than a week) was probably about as easy as anyone could ask for.

Heeeeeeeeeere's St Peter!


Honestly, I never understood Ed McMahon's role on that show. Why was he there? What did he do? He just sat at the end of the couch and laughed. That had to be the best job in the history of the world. More power to him for making a living that way, but ... wow. Good gig.

Sometimes you are a breath of fresh air.

Had a nice job and a nice life, RIP.

And I didn't want to come off mean there, I re-read it and kinda sounded it. That really sucks, and what I was trying to say was that we should let the people we love and care about know it so they don't do anything like this. My condolences to you and your friends though.

Don't like 'RIP' but RIP.

Just remember Big Ed hosted "Star Search". The talent show long before American Idol.

Ed introduced us to Sinbad, Rosie O'Donnell as well as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake before Disney "discovered" them.
