Those Who Have Passed On

[dauna]

I just learned that one of my favorite comic actors, Geoffrey Hughes, died on Friday of prostate cancer at age 68.  Hughes played a character on one of my favorite British sitcoms, Keeping Up Appearances.  It seems to me it has been a really bad year for losing actors, musicians, etc., and I was wondering:  is there someone in that group who has gone on that hit you a bit harder than the rest?

No, but when John Cleese dies, I will definitelly be sad. I used to watch "Keeping up Apperances" alot.

I was sad when Gloria (who played the older version of Rose, the Kate Winslet character) passed away recently.

None. When their time is up, then it’s their time to go. It’s life.

I thought you were talking about personally and my sister who died at age 26 and her birthday was yesterday and she would have been 58... I miss her still

Sorry to hear about your sister--and I know what you mean.  My mother died when I was in high school, some 40 years ago--but I still have days when it feels like it just happened yesterday.
