    My thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends of the many victims in France. It makes me sick and depressed to see all this violence and killing so often in the news. My heart is heavy.

    He created/directed a lot of iconic shows and movies; RIP, Mr. Marshall. Just realized he also played one of the men alongside Solo at Goldfinger's ranch in GF.

    I have just seen this on the Twitter feed of Sir Roger Moore....

    Our beautiful daughter Christina (aka Flossie) lost her battle with cancer 25 July at 10am. We are heartbroken.

    My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. RIP

    I wish I could offer Roger and his family my condolences.

    At his advanced age, this must seem especially unfair.

    It would be nice to think Brosnan and/or Lazenby could offer some supportive words.

    Very sad for Roger Moore. Surviving his children must be a horrible feeling.

    And since the "Deadly attacks" thread has been locked RIP to the victims of the terrorist attack in that church in Rouen.

    I've only just heard this news. Christina was only 47. Many of us have been touched by this disease so we know how it affects individuals & their loved ones. My regards to the Moore family at this difficult time.

    And more bad news :

    Actress Vivean Gray, who played Mrs. Mangel in the australian soap "Neighbours", died recently, aged 92 :

    And the comic strip/book world has lost two of its most famous members recently too. First was Richard Thompson, the creator of the strip "Cul de Sac", who passed away from Parkinson, aged 58 :

    robot6.comicbookresources.com/2016/07/cul-de-sac-creator-richard-thompson-passes-away/

    And then, Jack Davis, one of the founders of Mad Magazine, aged 91 :

    This year is not good. Not good at all.

    Yes there's me. I've heard the sad news. Only 60 that's awfully young.
