Usually I wait for j_garcia, or one of the others who post these RIP notices. They must be away or busy.
The deaths of Carrie Fisher at age 60 (Dec. 27) and her mother Debbie Reynolds at age 84 (Dec 28) a day later is more than a bit unusual. Both were in the La La Land (Hollywood) entertainment business, and both had real life stories much more interesting than their Hollywood personae.
2016 has been a tough year for these types of events.
