Re: Joan Rivers has passed away

To quote an article - ""The world got a little less funny today."" Joan and Robin W gone -- absolutely a little less laughter in the universe. Comfort and blessings to Joan's loved ones.

......, she did support the USO and believed in this nation and that counts greatly with me. I salute her.

In addition to the USO, AIDS research and cystic fibrosis research, Joan was tireless in her support of my favorite organization. -- Guide Dogs for the Blind. Joan was a generous, sincere philanthropist


She also showed support for cancer funding. Days before this all happened with Joan, she sent a basket of goodies to a 5K race in my former hometown. A race that was run for pediatric cancer (in the name of a little girl that died of cancer at Christmas 2013). Joan had sent the basket and made a video that she was sorry that she couldn't attend. (She had also posted a message to the little girl before she died last year). Joan was a wonderful person.

Re: Joan Rivers has passed away

Thank you, Shorty2U, for sharing that memory. Over the years, I've read and heard many stories of Joan' s soft heart and true humanity toward individuals in crisis or need. So, in addition to the big-name charities and well-known causes, I think Joan reached out to people one-on-one, to touch them human to human, many times in her lifetime. She was tireless and generous with her time and money.

Re: Joan Rivers has passed away

I was remembering tonight that Joans sister, Barbara Waxler, had passed away not that long ago. I did a quick Google and found that Barbara died in June of 2013, on the eve of Joans 80th birthday. Barbara was 82................ For those interested, I found this account of events surrounding Barbaras passing and Joans public statements at the time. Although the Daily Mail (UK) is a tabloid specializing in gossip, I thought this piece was fairly informative and worth a read....................http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2336468/Grief-stricken-Joan-Rivers-cancels-80th-birthda...

Thanks for the quote, WaJa: This certainly puts all things in perspective, doesn't it?
