Kirstie Allie dies from Cancer at age 71

Gaer

"Angel whisperer"
So young to leave this life!
I was honored to see her and speak with her in Big Bear in the late 80's. Many of the actors would go there for a "getaway" from L.A.
"North and South" had just aired and I was blown away by her acting performance in it. She was dynamic and very talented!
May I tell you of my impression? I felt she was on a "Hurry up and have fun" tour. She wanted to eat everything, soak in everything,
experience everything! Her husband Parker, was following her quietly. She was extremely loud and aggressive. There was nothing
soft or gentle about her. It was as though she was grasping as much of life as she could get.
I liked her in "Cheers" too! I was tickled I got to see and talk to such a brilliant actress!
She is now roaring into Heaven just as she did in life! Bless her!
 

I was rather shocked to hear of this last evening. I didn't know she was ill. Seems like it was just the 80's. She endured a lot in the media about her weight also which was not right.
 
Yes, Cancer is a terrible disease!
From the few moments I spent with her, I feel she lived life to the fullest!
I guess that's what's important!
