Craig Sawyers Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 What a life! She said in an interview in the last few years that she was amazed she was still alive. RIP Marianne Faithfull.
Knuckledragger Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 RIP Gwen McCrae. Google search results report today as the day of her passing, but there are exactly zero news articles on it. This Information Age thing stinks. 6

Dusty Chalk Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Michelle Trachtenberg, at the age of 39 Foul play is not suspected, as she was recently recipient of a liver transplant and may have been experiencing complications, but an autopsy will be performed A friend of mine recently was the recipient of a kidney transplant, so this ... makes me nervous. So far so good, though (for him). 8

Was and will remain a huge fan of Buffy and Michelle/Dawn was a big part of the last few years of that show. 39 ain’t no time to go, period.
Wmcmanus Posted February 27 Author Report Posted February 27 (edited) RIP Gene Hackman (95), and uhhh... his wife and his dog. Nothing to see here, folks, move along... Spoiler Nothing to hide. Edited February 27 by Wmcmanus 8
mikeymad Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 The hits just keep on coming... very sad. RIP Gene.
TMoney Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 Loved his movies. He had quite a range, being able to go from tightly sprung intensity to warmth and humor. The Conversation is one of my all-time favorites. 3
skullguise Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 RIP to my beautiful wife Karen Greenfield. She passed peacefully overnight, after we all said our goodbyes, as well as having other family and some friends talk to her on speakerphone as well. Thank you all for your compassion and kind words, and for letting me vent. Our son Andrew and I will of course go on, but there is already an ache I have, reflected in a large and emptier house. Please raise a glass at some point for her and our family, and think kindly on a wonderful and beautiful woman. 17

swt61 Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 So sorry for your loss. R.I.P. Karen. Damn! Life can be so cruel and so random. 1
Hopstretch Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 So sorry for your loss, Todd. My thoughts are with you and Andrew and everyone else who loved Karen. Today is my late Mom's birthday, so every year now I will think of her and your lovely wife. 1 2 1
n_maher Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 So sorry for your loss, Todd. Mourn the loss as you are able and I’m so very glad that you and Andrew were able to say goodbye. Vent here if it helps or you’ve got my actual phone number if you need an ear. Cherish the life that you had with her, nothing will ever change that. But don’t spend the rest of yours dwelling on time you didn’t get. 2
Wmcmanus Posted February 27 Author Report Posted February 27 RIP, Karen. My condolences especially to you and your son, Todd. And to other family members, friends, and all those whose life she touched and will miss her too. There is never enough time with those who we love. 2
Voltron Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 RIP Karen. May her memory be a blessing to you and Andrew and your extended family. I will be toasting Karen and your family with a manhattan, my dearly departed mother's favorite cocktail. Like Nate said, call any time if you need an ear on west coast time. 1 2
