Actress Lynda Bellingham, aged 66. I believe this was expected, but 66 is still very young. R.I.P. Lynda.

Linda B. Died from the same Cancer that am fighting. My heart aches for her family. I wish that she had been able to hang on for her last Christmas. 

I did see her on TV, and she was happy. Her end must have been peaceful and quick. Many CRC patients suffer terribly at the end.

May she enjoy peace.  

I thought Gerry Rafferty had already died, than I thought I must have imagined it.

Yes Sue, you keep fighting.

Alvin Stardust today age 72 after a short illness. 

  Now it is the loss of Jack Bruce one of the members of Cream.

             His music will play on. 

I have Stranger on the Shore on my iPod and also use it as an alarm.

RIP Acker. A great talent shared and appreciated.  

I was going over this an couple of pages back....I did not know that Paul Revere of the Raiders band died....I have been making an history book for my sister in-law whom died Nov.1 of last year...mostly an house wife she was still an President of the Washington State Bowling Association...passed on at age 72.  I wanted her son to have the old time" private" pages of my history research work on the family because many of the old" coat of arms" legacies don't exist these days like they did back 40 years ago when I started this work...people have been changing them.  If only we could find an way to lengthen our days and our mortailty.... to make them the best ever years in our lives. An young lady went to school and her teacher asked them to write an essay on if they could of been anyone, whom they would be that was famous any why...and she wrote her teacher back and said..".herself"...it's not about being like someone else.... but doing what good you can possibly do.... within your given own life". I believe that to be true, I think at times some people achieve more then others because they have someone behind them... leading the way that no one might know about.. so they achieve an kind of fame...that others might not be able to. But essentially that's what it's all about, doing the best you can with what you have to deal with.
