Delta-Kylie-Belinda

All beautiful women struck down in the prime of thier lives.
Kylie +Delta are still with us thank god.

The lesson we must learn is that it can happen to the young and beautiful
as well as the elderly and frail and we should all look at our lifestyles as one
day it mighy be too late.

Belinda thanks for the memories.

Then they will put another show on as he has no 'best of' worth watching.

My sympathy goes out to the non-rich&famous who have to battle
illness without the aid of lots of money and strangers wishing them well.
I was in hospital several years ago with a staph infection in my ear,
which was touch and go for a while.
I didn't have any celebrities visit me or have news bulletins and 4 page spreads
in the dailys.

You've got to be kidding right???

The media should ignore the fact a high profile person has died? pffft. Get over yourself.

What I don't like is how the media portrays celebrities as Gods gift to humanity.
Most of them do things totally irrelevant to the advancement of humanity,
while useful people,ie nurses,teachers,ambulance drivers etc, are ignored.
Report on people who do useful things for society, not singers or actors.

Its very sad to see someone die at such a young age, regardless whether they are famous or not.

Very sad news, actually blurted out the words (judging by the people staring at me) "Oh No" louder than I'd realised when I stumbled into the Deli to pick up the SMail yest morning ... Such a **** of an illness that doesn't discriminate, thoughts with her family! :cry:

by **MagicKiwi** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:24 pm

Yes very sad indeed. And what a long battle as well, to be ill for so long. She certainly fought the good fight. Vale Belinda. Commiserations to your family and friends.

she was never over it, it was just a matter of time.

then it got into the bones and that was it basically,

very sad news and its a tragedy that that can happen to anybody at any age

terrible news, cancer affects so many families and you just have to admire the spirit and courage of those who have been challenged with these fights

you hear stories like this and it certainly puts life in perspective
