++Number one was Robin Williams.
++Number two was one of my favorites, Sid Caesar.
++Number three was Peter Matthiessen, author and environmentalist.
++Number four was Maya Angelou. poet and author.
++Number five was Galway Kinnell,poet.
++Number six was Mark Strand, poet.
++Number seven was Lauren Bacall.
There was many more celebrities and talents that died this past year but those seven are favorites. Robin Williams, such an amazing talent, brought suicide as an issue back to the fore with his crippling diseases and chronic depression.
A personal note, Bob Freda, who was the former husband of my niece and an Emergency Room and Burn nurse, committed suicide this year by blowing his brains out. He leaves behind a new wife. If anyone is tempted by suicide, ask for help. These days too many people are committing suicide after succumbing to deep depressions or facing long-term illnesses.
