RIP Bernie Mac


I just heard on E! News that Bernie Mac died in a Chicago hospital. He had a bad case of pneumonia and an autoimmune disorder. I am so sad to hear this. He was a great comedian with a wonderful smile. Bernie Mac was only 50; it's hard to see people called home too early.
I found this out on chron.com:
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.
I also learned that his sitcom, The Bernie Mac Show, earned a Peabody Award. Very impressive.
Prayers for strength go out to his family.
