Send in the Clowns - A Very Sad Day

By
Real Estate Agent with UNITED REAL ESTATE | Central PA RS193539L

Robin Williams passed away earlier today in his Northern California home, he was 63.

 

Behind every clown there is that sense of heartbreak. No one has or has ever had that much energy and emotion. Send in the clowns. Robin Williams was such a brilliant clown!

 

We all will miss him. His death is a tragedy. Depression knows no class, race or status. It is a deadly illness that has devastated too many lives. If you have a friend, family member or colleague that talks about being depressed, hopelessness or may appear to be suicidal, please do not dismiss it as merely a passing mood. Encourage that person to get professional help. It can save a life.

 

Sympathy and condolences go out to Robin’s family, friends, colleagues and fans.

 

 

GODSPEED, Robin. you will be missed here, but will have a whole new audience.

Robin will definitely be missed.  I'm so grateful that he leaves us with lots of laughs and great memories.  It's such a sad thing to lose someone in that manner.   We are truly blessed to have been touched by his awesome gifts and talents.

Very, very sad day. Bette. To have that level of talent and success but not the inner peace, I can't imagine. He will be missed.

It always seems a shock when we lose the great ones.  I know I'm personally blindsided.  He was an amazing talent.  No question about that!

Hi Bette, Robin is just one of the millions that have the same problem, it's just that everyone knows him.  I agree with you, that we should be aware of people around us and helps them in whtever way we can.

Endre, My heart is heavy, this great loss was incredibly tragi to the world.  He will be missed but his legacy will live on.

 

Incredibly tragic.  A great loss to the world.  He will be missed but his legacy will live on.  Addiction is everyone's problem... it is a not a moral or character flaw... in order to treat it we have to understand it.

The sad truth is, so many comedians use their comedy as an outlet for their pain and suffereing. One reason we lose way to many of them way to early.    :-(

So sad on this occasion, he was a beautiful soul carrying  a huge cross. He gave  a lot to others and nice to see how loved he was. Wish the love for him could have saved him from hurting.

Robin's death was such a shock....so sad.  Hopefully the horrible disease of depression will get better understood.

I wonder if Robin Williams could have seen this huge outpouring of love, respect and admiration just one day earlier, would he still be around with us today?

Take this opportunity today to reach out to those in your life that you care about and tell them how much of a difference they make.
