    Robin Williams...god, that was a tough one. Also Patrick Swayze...he was diagnosed ith pancreatic cancer around the time my mom was diagnosed. My mom passed almost a year before him and I think the hope and love that I was sending my mom's way transfered over to PS when my mom passed. I was devastated when he lost his (their) fight. 💜

    1. Robin absolutely should be on this list.

    No Eddie Van Halen? GTFOutta here.

    1. I was surprised/disappointed by that too

    Chester Bennington is my pick. LP isn't at all the same without him. May he RIP.
