A sad day for the Earth, but Heaven will be in stitched tonight as Bob Hope has passed away. Having done so much for all of us, what else could we say but thanks for the memories!

I live in Burbank, CA and Bob used to come into the same restaurant that my son and I used to go to, so one day, my son had his picture taken with Bob. My son, who had Muscular Dystrophy, passed away last year, so now today that picture becomes a real precious memory. They are both in a better place now.

Celia -

Now I'm crying. I heard a interview tonight with his publicist. From what he said, the man you saw on stage was the same kind, gentle man you saw in his personal life. Bob Hope was probably the greatest American who was never President. I look forward to the day when people like him step up again.

We have lost many great ones in the past few years!!

I can only imagine the partie's that go on in Heaven when a new soul arrives!

I keep thinking of Lucille Ball & Bob Hope together again!

I remain grateful to be of the age that I can appreciate the grandeur of Bob, et.al!

Here's to you Bob! You were such a wonderful man!
And a great palindrome!

Peace!
