I was stunned at the Bernie Mac news, he was so young and had so much left to live. Isaac was an amazing artist and legend. We've lost two giants in the industry. They will be truly missed.
What a sad weekend. They will both be missed.
Yeah it was a sad weekend for the entertainment industry.
I'll be sure to keep these men's family's in my prayers.
I'm just sick about Bernie leaving us so soon. BUT...he loved, he laughed and he lived. What more is there...nothing! God bless those closest to him as they struggle through this difficult time!
So sad! Bernie Mac has this excellent interview that he did with Tavis Smiley. It should be on YouTube or PBS.org. He said some really inspirational and insightful stuff.
BGG, I was so super sad to hear the news about Bernie Mac. I am still in a state of shock! I can honestly say that as a Chicago native myself and a lover of good comedy, I was a huge fan Bernie Mac. He will truly be missed!
Simply put, they will both be missed!
He seemed more like family to me! I guess it's the whole Chicago connect. Let me tell you, EVERYONE,in Chicago is upset, even the governor.
