In reply to: Cece 's message, "I am really upset over the death of Robin Williams. So many celebrities die too soon, that I've become innured. But Robin Williams brought so much joy and laughter to us all, that it's so difficult to know we won' t hear him again with all his talent and silliness. How dreadful for his wife, family and friends. I'll miss him.." on 00:16:22 08/12/14 Tue

[> [> i saw where gary marshall hired him on the spot because he told Robin to have a seat and Robin went over and sat on his head. Gary said Robin had been the only alien to apply for the job ! - what hurts me is this wasn't some kid gone nuts and overdosing out of stupidity or lack of control - this was a man in sever pain and no one realized how much or perhaps how to help- -- chris k, 09:46:03 08/13/14 Wed [1]

[> [> [> We spend our lives doing our best to stay alive and avoiding death at all costs. So it's so hard to imagine someone being in that profoundly dark place, where, despite all that he was and all that he had, he made that deliberate last act. He couldn't have realized how much he was adored by so many people, or how much he will be missed. -- Cece, 14:56:30 08/13/14 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> Just read that Robin Williams widow stated that he had the early stages of Parkinson's Disease and had become severely depressed as a result of the diagnosis. I love my life, it would be hard to fathom taking it, but I have also cared for patients with this this terrible disease and it is a horror. I pray he is resting in peace, this makes this death so much sadder for me. -- mkim, 21:51:59 08/14/14 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> [> I saw that too and everything made much more sense - This is a man whose entire way of life involved over the top and constant movement - and if he already suffered from depression I can see where he chosing between ending a life that had already accomplished all he wanted and living life in a chair where speech and motion could quickly become impossible became too much for him. I tell my kids all the time - I have a big bucket list of things I want to do - but if I get hit by a bus tomorrow that's okay I've lived a good life. Maybe that's what he was thinking -- chris k, 08:50:12 08/15/14 Fri [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> I've been thinking alot about Parkinson's disease since I posted last. One of the things that strikes me besides the total debility is that the persons ability to change their facial expression is affected. Can you imagine Robin Williams unable to smile??? How awful for him. -- mkim Can't get this out o f my head today., 13:53:52 08/15/14 Fri [1]
