As for Jerseysucks forgive me. I had no idea. I send you my condolences and a huge (((HUG))).
Forgive you for what? I really haven't seen any threads we've been on together besides Knut the Polar Bear and the world penis map and we've
never had a bad word between us on anything that I can see. I see nothing to forgive you for.
Thank you for your condolences and the hugs.

Actually Mary it was a supposed to be a support group, there's a few of them out there, I have been involved with both in person groups and on line groups and the whole point being we all there to support each other. If someone in the group has a bad time because of an anniversary or whatever we give them our support and cry on each others shoulders. I ended up on a good support group on Facebook.
The in person group we used to go to would probobly be like an AA meeting except for the fact they had Vodka Penne there.

Robert Plant lost his son, Karac, to a virus in 1977. He was only 5 years old. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he wrote "All of my love" in his honor.
Jerrry Van Dyke's daughter Kelly committed suicide.
John Walsh's son Adam was kidnapped and murdered. John Walsh became famous for it because of all of his work he did after his son died- hosting America's Most Wanted and such...
Charlie Chaplin and Mildred Harris's son was either stillborn or died within a few days of birth. He is buried under a headstone labeled "Our Mouse" or "Little Mouse".

I'm glad you found this board, Jersey. Kind words, even from strangers are amazing and strengthening.
Vikki
Lou Jr. (nicknamed "Butch") on November 6, 1942.
In March 1943, after completing the film Hit The Ice, Costello had an attack of rheumatic fever and was unable to work for six months. Later that year on November 4, he returned to the team's popular radio show, but a tragic event shadowed his comeback. Upon arriving at the NBC studio, Lou received word that his infant son Lou Jr. had accidentally drowned in the family pool. The baby was just two days short of his first birthday. Lou had asked his wife to keep Butch up that night so the boy could hear his father on the radio for the first time. Rather than cancel the broadcast, Lou said, "Wherever he is tonight, I want him to hear me," and went on with the show. No one in the audience knew of the death until after the show when Bud Abbott explained the events of the day, and how the phrase "The show must go on" had been epitomized by Lou that night.
Dean Martin lost his son Dino in a plane crash.

I think one of Bing Crosby's son committed suicide. Don't know if it counts because I think Der Bingle had already died.

Supermarket mogul Stew Leonard Jr also lost a child drowning in his pool. During the summer months he airs awareness commercials and blames himself for being distracted. sad.
Yes, Bing (and his first wife Dixie) were long gone by the time the sons died.
I believe that both Lindsay and Dennis commited suicide (before they reached the age of 65 and were entitled to the money from their father's estate too). Gary died of a heart attack and Phillip died of cancer.
Marlon Brando's situation was tragic all around. He lost his son and daughter.
I didn't know that about Bill Bixby.
French actress Bulle Ogier's daughter died of a heart attack the day before her 26th birthday.

My condolances too Jerseysucks.
For the UK hags there have been quite a few tragedies in recent years, the most recent being Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden's son being stillborn. Singer Lily Allen had a son also stillborn. Actress Kym Marsh lost her son Archie moments after he was born having gone into labour 18 weeks early. Another actress, Sarah Parish (who starred with Amanda Holden in Cutting It) lost her daughter Ella to a heart defect at 8 months old. The late comic legend Bob Monkhouse lost two sons- Gary to cerebal palsy in 1992 at the age of 40 and Simon (from whom he was estranged) died of a heroin overdose in a Thai hotel in 2001. Only his daughter Abigail survived him after his death. How he dealt with those I will never know. Was gutted when he died! From the world of sport Danny Mills, the ex England footballer, lost his son Archie to spina bifida in 2002 and he is the patron of their charity ASBAH.
There's probably more but for now I think my work here is done
Singer Boz Scaggs lost his son Oscar to drugs on New Year's Eve 1998.....he even wrote an article for, I believe, Newsweek a few months after and the pain he was undoubtedly going through really showed........
mare winningham (who is great in HBO's mildred pierce) oldest son committed suicide in 2005.
King George V and his wife, Queen Mary lost their youngest son, Prince John, to epilepsy when he was 13.
I have a question for you and I think it's about Boz Scaggs but I'm not sure.
Wasn't he the one who was on the highway and a truckdriver got pissed and shot his son in the mouth?
I know this happened to a country artist I just can't remember who.
Is any other HAGS want to jump in feel free.

I don't think he's the one, Jersey.
He has one son, Austin Scaggs who is a musical journalist.
Another son, Oscar, died of a heroin overdose in 1998 at the age of 21.
