  I hate to see so many of the movie stars that I sort of grew up with dieing now. It reminds me that I'm next and I like living too much to die now. Help!!!! I just can't feel comfortable with that idea. Oh well, we can only live right now so I'll just try to forget about tomorrow.

  We all know the end, many believe in the after life so for them dying is not so harsh.
