4 gone

Most of world has marked the passing three well know figures, Ed McMann, Farrah Fawcett, and Micheal Jackson. I always liked Johnny Carson and him and Ed were two parts of the same package. Every male who grew up in 1970's knew of Farrah's famous poster. I was amused by a quote attributed to her, "when our show was number 3 I though it was because of our acting, when hit number 1 I knew it was because none us wore a bra". I was never able to reconcile the young Micheal Jackson I used to watch on TV with what he had become.

To these three I would like to add another, Father Mike our parish priest passed way this week after a short battle with cancer. He had long ago made his peace with god and chose not under go the usual attempts are chemo or radiation.

I hope we all are brave enough to face our demise with the same grace that he did.
