Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, others

we really need to take care of our folks over 60, give them so much love for the 30-40 years that they entertained us.

I hate that her last ugly statement about the Palestinians is still so fresh in my mind and she did not live long enough to make that "right".

I wish her family well and that she be remembered most as a hallmark comedian that lead the way for other women comics.
