They always say death comes in threes...and this week that seems to be all so true. First we had Patrick Swayze, then Henry Gibson and now Mary Travers - that would make 3.

Who could forget Patrick Swayze, the brave actor who starred in "Ghost", "Dirty Dancing", and "Roadhouse" who faced his cancer ordeal head on, fighting every step of the way for as long as he could; finally succumbing to pancreatic cancer on September 14, 2009.

Then there was Henry Gibson, known for starring on "Laugh In" and "Boston Legal", and many other supporting roles on tv shows and movies, who died of cancer on September 14, 2009, a week before his 74th birthday.

And then finally there was Mary Travers, member of the folk group "Peter, Paul and Mary", along with Peter Yarrow and Noel "Paul" Stookey. Peter, Paul and Mary was one of the most successful folk-singing groups of the 1960s. She was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2005 but received a bone marrow transplant which seemed to have worked. Unfortunately, on September 16, 2009 she died from complications arising from chemotherapy treatment.

I offer my prayers for them and their families, and hope that they all rest in peace.

Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

happy

It is an oddity but I've seen it happen again and again with public figures. Fortunately I haven't experienced this in my personal life but, whenever someone famous dies, I brace for the next to come.

Yep, it just seems that as far back as I can remember they do always come in threes.

I was thinking this when I read the news that Patrick died.
I don't know that the other two had died too but it does seem odd that a lot of famous people died this year both here and the US. Not sure about all over the world, probably this is not an international phenomena.

Before today I hadn't known about the other two either.

Yes they do say that it comes in three's also if when someone is buried and it is raining someone else is to die soon. Then there is the other one I heard when I was a child. When someone dies there is somebody going to have a baby in the family. Now that I know to be true. My Grandmother used to say someone has to die for a new baby to come. Sad but true. You have a great day and be happy. If I die remember that I was your friend always. WOO HOO. Your friend onlydia

You know that you mentioned that it kind of gives me the creeps. One of my good friends died 4 years ago in a car crash. I went to her funeral. The next month I was pregnant. And I named my daughter's middle name my friend's name!

Coincidence?

Thanks for your comment and have a great day!!!
