Which part if their death is more tragic? Are you kidding me? Geez, BP, could you be more tacky? What kind of question is that?
Quite vile
It’s important to check on elderly parents who live by themselves everyday.
I’m an immigrant. But I phone my father weekly. He has other sons still in Rio. But I think I’ll phone him twice this week
This is so sad. And a bit humbling to see such a thing could happen even to one of the most famous (and richest) people in the world.
Death is the great leveler. She embraces us all as equals, heedless of status or wealth.
Hardly one of the richest
