Re: What I really loved about Joan Rivers...

I loved her ambition and a very hard working woman. I did hate her humor and horrible foul mouth.

I also think that her greatest legacy is her daughter Melissa and grandson Cooper. Melissa handled her mother's last days with such grace and poise, her mother would have been so proud. She kept things private that should have remained private, but yet gave Joan's fans the information they were looking for, that she was comfortable. I think Joan was a comedic genius, genius being the operative word here. I still can't believe she's gone.

You said EXACTLY how I feel about the whole thing. I think Melissa acted with class and grace. It really wasn't any of our business to know everything that was going on. We knew what we should know....even though many thought otherwise.

Joan may have had a foul mouth (didn't bother me one bit) and some raunchy humor (didn't bother me either), but deep down inside she was a class act who had compassion and empathy for others.

She really was "one of us".

I always enjoyed her presentations...never bought anything (except her foot cream-the best ever).

I, for one will miss seeing her on the Q.
