Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon, oh my

The deaths of three greats has everyone reeling this week. The first one to pass was Ed McMahon, the legendary voice to greet Johnny Carson when he emerged to his audiences every night. He was also the Publisher's Clearing house voice for many years. Ed was 83 and left us on June 23, 2009. Oh, he had many more gigs under his belt, but I wouldn't have time to mention them all here, plus give credit to the other two....
Farrah Fawcett was the next to pass. She was a Charlie's Angels girl. She was married to Lee Majors (Six Million Dollar Man for those who don't remember). Then she was hooked up with Ryan O'neal for many years. She left us way too early. She had a terrible struggle with anal cancer which finally took her from us. She was a beautiful 62 yrs young on June 25, 2009.
The third icon was Michal Jackson. He passed also on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50. What I hear is a heart attack and with the grueling schedule that he had going on, 50 concerts in London, I can pretty much see that going on. He wasn't use to all that. He hadn't really done much of anything in quite a long time, then to just jump right into a rigorous schedule like that.
Anyway, the three of them will be missed dearly by their family and friends as well as their fans. Their passings are a bit of a reminder for us 40-50 somethings. They were a part of our past and the past is crumbling a bit. May they all rest in peace.
Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
