completely agreed
Haters like you should just keep your disgusting feelings to yourself! You are probably one of those people who bullies weaker people into committing suicide and then laugh when they do it! Disgusting!
attention seekers, too bad they can’t find some positive way to get some notice. Such negativity is likely the cause of their isolation. Sad

The last two weeks I have seen people write on various social media that it is the first time they cry about the death of a celebrity. The same for me. I have watched his movies again including my most favourite movie ever ‘Good Will Hunting’. I have read about how generous and well liked he was – respect! I have watched interviews with him, and what a lovable personality you see. He made people laugh insanely, and cry too. A rare talent. What I noticed is that he had the most lovely laugh himself, like a little child, so infectious. Robin, I am sorry for your pain, and hope you feel better now. Thank you for everything you gave to the world. I know Billy Crystal will honor you in a beautiful and well deserved way…

What breaks my heart and brings me to tears is thinking of all the pain and torment he was feeling. I watched Seize the Day on Popcorn Movies on my Roku.. The very end scene of him completely breaking down.. Made me think of what he must have been feeling in real life.. Heartbreaking.
