Wes Craven 1939-2015
I don’t necessarily feel that this is a trend that we should
worry about, but we should certainly at least stop and see what’s going
on. During the last week of August
(August 29th and 30th to be exact) two very popular and
loved icons died in what I consider to be, way too young.
·
Wes Craven (8/02/1939 to 8/30/2015), the famed maestro of horror
known for the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream Franchises, died Sunday after
a battle with brain cancer. He was
76.
·
Craven, whose iconic Freddy Krueger character horrified viewers
for years, died at his home in Los Angeles, his family announced. Survivors include his wife, producer and
former Disney Studios vice president Iva Labunka.
Wayne Walter Dyer 1940-2015
- Wayne Walter Dyer (5/10/1940 to 8/29/2015) was an
American self-help author and motivational speaker. His first book Your
Erroneous Zones is one of the best-selling books of all time, with an
estimated 35 million copies sold. ~ Wikipedia
- Dyer was diagnosed with chronic
lymphocytic leukemia in 2009 but claimed to have treated it with positive
thinking, daily exercise and "psychic surgery" performed
remotely by the Brazilian medium João Teixeira de Faria, better known as
"John of God." He detailed the controversial treatment in an
interview with Oprah Winfrey — for whom he was a friend and frequent guest
for more than 30 years — in 2012.
We can hopefully take this as a sign that we need to stay
current on our personal and loved one’s health.
Some illnesses are avoidable and/or treatable others that are terminal
may allow us additional time with loved ones if we become aware early enough.
I’ve said it before there are two professionals in our lives
that we would do well to communicate with, our health care providers and the
Internal Revenue Service. In these two
instances no surprises is good policy. Rest
In Peace to the two fine gentlemen that we just lost. The best is yet to come……
