What a year!!

Wow, that's one hell of a year...

Remembering

A very sad one, good job it's over soon..

Here's hoping for a better 2017 all round.

Sad to have lost many of these talented people, though I think we'd find we lost just as many celebrities any other year. Maybe I'm wrong.

Either way, here's to a better 2017! Fingers crossed.

And Carrie's mom "Debbie Reynold's" died today

Heartbreak syndrome

Jane you're probably right but I guess there seemed to be more 'legends' this year than any other year.
Bob - such a shame, she must have been truly heart broken.
Larry - true.

Em, you too are probably right that there have been more legends this year :) More names seem to stand out to me than any other year.

John Amos, the father of "what's happening" and played in tons of movies. Hoax, he's still alive

Yes Em, no parent should have to bury their child, now they'll be going together

Jane, totally agree more names seem to stick out to me too.

Bob, agreed.

Arnold Palmer
Pat Summit

Poor pat summit her story is sad. Imo the greatest womens basketball coach all time.

What a shocking year!!!!

RIP all

Just noticed John Glen was not on the list
