A Very Funny Lady

Few who were as funny as you came after. Wherever you went, the folks emitted laughter. For a professional entertainer, you had a gift. Your jokes gave us an emotional lift. You described your life with “Fang” as self-deprecating. Such humor was funny and stimulating. When we saw you on television and the stage, your style and delivery were all the rage. We will all miss you as you have gone away. You were a lady and a scholar in your day. RIP Phyllis Diller (1917-2012)
