Damned shame about Annette.

1. Yeah, her passing dampens the party, doesn't it?

[riqster]

2. That is one sad piece of news.

ONE sad piece of news.

3. I shed a tear

for Annette. We were contemporaries and I watched her every day after school.

4. Annette was an original. Sorry to hear about that.

7. Talk about irony...an evil person who cause heartache and pain for so many...

And a sweet woman who entertained a generation.

8. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse flag is at half staff today

9. Sad Indeed

Not only for Annette getting that dreadful disease (my best friend ever died of it too) but for now being linked in death with England's female Reagan Maggie Thatcher.

10. Strange juxtaposition. I remember

the week princess diana died mother Teresa did too. Diana left a fortune to her sons. Mother Teresa left a bucket and a sari.

12. Which do you think Americans admire most?

[GoneOffShore]

13. I suspect MT left more than that.

Certainly collected a lot over the years and it wasn't put to the best of uses, by all accounts.

14. mother Teresa was old and lived a full life unlike Diana

so i can see why Diana's death would be more sad as death of people who die young usually are compared to those who live long full lives and die of old age.
