Re: Comedian Bernie Mac Dies at 50

[Guest guest]

I worked with him on the Bernie Mac show. He was sick back then but

tried not to let it show or let it be known how sick he really was.

He was genuinely down to earth and a kind person. He'll be missed. My

thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
