Bernie Mac Dead at the Age of 50

"America!? Lemme tell ya somethin!"

God bless Bernie Mac. I'm sure most of you are already aware of what happened. I am at a loss for words right now. Someone told me that they really weren't in to Mac and they didn't quite understand his jokes. So I responded by saying, "As an African American, I grew up with Bernie Mac. He's a part of my family just as much as my own relatives. I identified with him on so many levels that I too am saddened."

Bernie Mac was such a staple in the lives of many Americans. I invited Mac into my home on numerous occassions. To know that Mr. 3000 is no longer going to be able to play in the game is a loss for all us. Bernie, thank you so much for the tears of laughter, the laughter through hard times, and especially your valued relationships you had with each and every one of us. You are gone, but you are NOT forgotten. Peace is love. God bless!
