I see this in other forum.
Is a way of remember those death but left us something important for humankind. If you'll want post, go ahead!

Louis Armstrong, Louis Daniel „Satchmo“ Armstrong (* August 4. 1901 in New Orleans; † July 6. 1971 in New York)

Syd Barrett, born as Roger Keith Barrett, (* Jan. 6. 1946 in Cambridge, GB; † July 7. 2006)

Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954), famous Mexican painter

Bill Haley (July 6, 1925 – February 9, 1981), known as the one who made Rock 'n' Roll popular

John Henry Hammond (* Dec. 15. 1910, New York City - † July 10. 1987)

George Gershwin, born as Jacob Gershovitz (* Sept. 26. 1898 in Brooklyn, NY; † July 11. 1937 in Hollywood)

His contributions to contemporary classical music are immense; but his crossover ability to write timeless popular folksongs made him the most outstanding US composer ever!

John Coltrane (* 23. September 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina; † 17. Juli 1967 in New York City)

Billie Holiday (* 7. April 1915 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; † 17. Juli 1959 in New York)

OK, it was not necessarily a celebrity and didn't leave important things to the world.

In memoriam : Lewis (my black labrador) left me today. 14/09/1995 - 20/07/2007

Very sorry to hear about your loss, Rémi. Its hard to lose a loyal friend like that.

To lose a loved one, Remi. I am sorry for you at this time of loss. I hope your heart and mind will fill more with fond remembrances than with sad reflections. I have lost a couple of dear ones this summer, too. Not easy. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

-Chris S.

Norma Jean Reynolds (Abeyta, Stratton, Walter), b. 7/28/1947, d. 1/27/1997, far too soon. Momma, I still love you and miss you, Dear. You are ever in my heart, ever with me. In the years after we lost you, Mom, one of the many things I realized I loved best about you, in the shock and muddle and grief that attended our loss of you, was the full-throated, nay, full-bodied, exhilirated way you laughed, laughed like no other, Mother Dear, at my many and various stupid, goofy jokes. We had fun with fried chicken and made Friday night at the grocery the main social event of the week, did you and I and Sabrina and John and Terry. I will always cherish the memory of those times and so many more, Dear Norma Jean, mysterious, multifaceted mother of mine, and Molly, and Sabrina and little John (no longer little, by a long shot!).

O.D. "Uncle Toadfrog" Reynolds, b. 7/27/1915, d. 7/9/79. Grandpa, I loved you, you were the light in the eyes of so many, none moreso than I. More fun than a barrel full of monkeys, were you. The last long vacation we took together before your departure from this earth gave me memories which I will carry with me always, and how could I ever forget the oatmeal fight you and I had when I was about two, and you were a two year-old in a 53 year-old body?

Carolyn Stratton, d. 5/22/2007, loyal wife to my father of over 20 years, died at 71 of lung cancer. You were tough, smart, caring and honest. You were not the tenderest person, but you made sure those near and dear to you got and heard what they needed. You were deeply wise.

Virginia Johnson, d. 6/27/2007, beloved "Aunt" to me and my sis, dear friend to my father and mother of many decades, mother to Mark and Dan and Dave and loving, loyal wife for life to our Dear Uncle Jim, fiery political leader of strong and strongly held beliefs, joined at the hip to your husband who was cut from the same cloth, both of you true and honest and loyal to what your heart and your heritage taught you. You and I disagreed strongly on some issues of major importance, but your love for me and mine for you, Dear Aunt Virginia, burned bright and true and steady through it all, and that's what matters the most.

Requiescat in pacem.

-Christopher

Remi, I'm so sorry for your loss of Lewis. I've lost a few dogs in the past and it's always very difficult. You never forget your constant friend.

I'm sorry Rémi. Thanks for post here, this thread is not just for famous people or just for people. It's "In Memorian" of all that we love and left us.
Thanks you too Christopher!

Chris: What a wonderful tribute to your mother and other deceased family members. What a sensitive soul you are!

Remi: Sorry to hear about your beloved pet and friend.

About Charlie Rich: His song "Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High)" is one of my all-time favorites.
