May Robin Williams pass quietly into the night, free from pain.

I thank this President for his words as always they are heartfelt. He ended up touching every element of the human spirit.

5. He was a finely tuned instrument, bigtree.

The universe lost some special kind of music today.

6. I feel just a little bit awkward (it's me, I know)...

But I just had to explain to my youngest why I'm crying while looking at my phone.

Robin was such a big positive in my life without every having met the man. His humor, at a young age for me, taught me how to laugh at the world and all its complexities when rational thought failed.

I'm going to miss you, Robin.

7. Beautiful

So sad that he needed to write those words, though.

8. I just "saw" him night before last!

I shared one of my favorite Robin Williams movies with my 13 yr old granddaughter.
We laughed and smiled together--it's a bonding thing. She loved him and the movie.
When my grandson was about 15, I shared "Good Morning Vietnam" and Robin Williams performance with him.
Bonding. I was stunned to read Robin died and sad. Like a friend I'd just seen. Seems like the disease of
addiction finally wore him down and he he felt an overwhelming need for peace. And I've a need to say, he
wasn't just a fine actor or comedian. He helped bridge generations and enhance relationships.
So, yeah. I feel sadness.

9. Very nice tribute. My brothers and I couldn't wait for "Mork and Mindy"

every week when we were kids, staked our places on the couch for it. He brought people so much laughter, he didn't deserve to meet such a sad end.

10. That's a nice pic, bigtree.

Peace to you.
