Msnbc.msn.com is reporting that Tammy Faye Messner died Friday, and a family service was held Saturday in a private cemetery, where her ashes were interred.

 

This month has been a good one.

On March 9, Thatcher attended the second memorial service for Lord Lichfield, Royal photographer and queen's cousin of The Queen.

 

I saw few photos of Thatcher from the service at Guards Chapel, Birdcage Walk in London, England.

 

Her presence made me wonder if Margaret Thatcher be attending another memorial service soon.

Nice comments and try by Blair.

 

But the articles about his death highlight the affair, not the career of John Profumo.

Singer Lou Rawls dies of cancer at 72

Grammy winner began as choir boy, sold 40 million albums

LOS ANGELES - Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to sell more than 40 million albums and win three Grammy Awards in a career that spanned nearly five decades and a range of genres, has died, his publicist said. He was 72.

 

Rawls died early Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, his publicist Paul Shefrin said. His wife Nina was at his bedside when he died, Shefrin said.

 

The family and Shefrin said Rawls was 72, although other records indicate he was 70.
