“I always wanted a happy ending. Now, I’ve learned the hard way that some poems don’t rhyme. Life is taking the moment and making the best of it.” (Gilda Radner) I admire Gilda for what she was able to make out of her life when there was no rhyme. She made us laugh. She made us cry. Isn’t that comedy? Isn’t that life? Gilda was one of the good ones. She was from Detroit and the U of M, too. ;-) Jack
FROM MKH IN MI: I loved her and I loved her book did you ever read it? It's always something.
FROM CWR IN B'MORE: yes
FROM S.G. IN MI: Nice message. Gilda was a favorite!
FROM PR J.S. IN MI: Marcia Trued, Con's daughter, went to Un. High Liggett with Gilda
FROM J.L. IN MI: She was one of my favorites....both because she was funny, but because she was strong in her good health and strong in her illness. I miss her! And her legacy has done much good for Detroit too with her Gilda's house!
GILDA'S HOUSE: Gilda Radner’s dream was to create a free cancer support community for people with cancer, their families and friends. Today, that dream is fulfilled at Gilda's Club Metro Detroit, a three-story non-residential house in Royal Oak. Since opening our signature red door in January 1998, Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit has welcomed over 5100 members for social and emotional support and a whole lot of FUN.The clubhouse is a place where people with cancer and their family and friends can come to find social and emotional support in a home-like, community atmosphere with others who are living with cancer. It is a special place for men, women, children, families and friends with every type of cancer to share their collective wisdom in the Gilda’s Club community.
The welcome to Gilda's Club Metro Detroit begins with a New Member Meeting for people with cancer, and their families and friends. Here people tell their stories or just listen as others share and learn about the various resources and activities available to all members of the Club. Following the New Member Meeting, each prospective member schedules an individual meeting to design a confidential Customized Membership Plan to shape his or her plan for social and emotional support.
FROM MOLINER C.F.: Rosanne Rosanna Dana was genuious. So is Gilda's club
FROM EFP IN IL: Good afternoon. The same could be said for Tony Snow, whom I always admired when he was anchor of Fox News Sunday. Saturday he died at 53 of colon cancer, as his mother had when he was in high school. They said he had check-ups every six months and did everything else he was supposed to do as a "high risk," but he ultimately succumbed to the killer. Like Gilda, he endured with a smile on his face and unwavering faith in God. Both were good examples, in both life and death.
FROM B.S. NEAR ORLANDO: She died too young. I wonder why she died so young? Do many people who take too many chances die too young?
