@djjd62,
I saw that. I feel like we should put bubble wrap all over Buzz Aldrin and Betty White.

@jespah,
Really loved Bowie's music. Can't believe he is gone.

The one person I will always miss is Joan Rivers. What a sense of humor and what a lady!

I heard her the other night being interviewed on the rerun of an old TV show. She told us about "covering her bases", when it came to death and the issue of spirituality.

Her husband died in a hotel room and while Joan and her husband were Jewish, she believed that it would do her husband a good turn, if she had a Catholic priest visit the exact hotel room ( some time later), where her husband died...so as to put his soul to "rest".

A Catholic priest did Joan a favor, went to the hotel room and blessed the room .To Joan, not only was her husband now resting in peace, but Joan herself was happy and very grateful for the visitation by the Catholic priest.


Plus, she took a red-eye to the west coast weekly to see her daughter and grandson. Very dedicated to those she loved, in my opinion. I just wish she could have slowed down a bit, and accepted what years do to one's looks; she would still be with us, in my opinion. (Yes, I'm repeating myself.)


Yes, Joan was very dedicated to her daughter and grandson. And yes, Joan should have slowed down.

@Miller,
I really disliked her public persona. I'm sure she had good points.

@edgarblythe,
what a series of health problems she had - even worse than Liz Taylor's. Also multi-marriages and bad luck you wouldnt wish on anyone. May she RIP.

The 79 year old former actor, who recently died while ice skating with his 19 yr old son, died as the result of a ruptured aorta.

I wonder if there were any physical signs that the aorta was prone to rupture.

I went in a bookstore to look for Harper Lee's two books the other day. But I had forgotten that she died this year.
