This year is getting worse and worse. Sam Lloyd died today.

Oh NOOOO. A friend of mine was personal friends with him. I need to check on her.

He was such a talented actor and singer, and it seems like he was really well liked by everyone who knew him. I hope your friend is handling it okay. He was too young for death.

He really was.... Such a talented man. I know he'd had brain cancer for a year or so, so ... at least he isn't suffering anymore.

There is that small consolation. It isn't much, but I guess it's all one can ask for.

Yeah. Thank you for telling me - my friend hadn't heard yet and she was glad to hear it from someone she knew instead of the grapevine. (It was Margaret, our Mrs. White).

He grew up with her husband's parents so he was a family friend.

Wow... That IS really close. No wonder she's a good actress, I guess it's a family interest. Anyway, yeah, I'm glad she heard it from you. I got it through a Facebook link in a nerd group I'm in and did a quick Google search to verify. I really hoped it was a hoax.
