In the Steve Harvey photo is that someone standing behind him with a hat on? It looks weird, or is it him with the hat on……? It looks ghost-like, see through. Enlarge the picture and see.

Bernie Mac will be appreciated for generations to come. He sacrificed and worked so hard to be able to give us those uplifting moments that we all know so well on an intimate level. He was specil…..He IS special!

We all need to enjoy all of our talented people now while we have them because we never know when their time has expired.
Good night everyone and God bless…….

@80

I noticed that Steve Harvey picture too with the hat behind him. I think someone was standing behind him with a hat on that makes it look weird. Whatever the case, I hope Bernie’s family will be able to cope with the unexpected loss. The picture of his “tv” family is timeless. RIP BERNIE.

He will truly be missed. R.I.P.

On a side note, am I the only one that thinks what the oldest girl from The Bernie Mac show has on is inappropriate. I mean, I know it may be hot, but you don’t wear capris and a shirt with your cleavage out to a funeral. Look at the way the boy is looking at her like “I know you did not wear that!”.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don’t just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly;God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.

R.I.P. Bernie!

I want to say I am so sadden by the lost of such a great man. Anything that Bernie Mac did was alway hilarious and had my side hurting from laughing so hard. I can only imagine the pain his wife may be feeling after losing your best friend and husband. I pray for patience and peace for the family. I hope all of his accomplishments will somehow ease their pain.

You know what? I went to the Chris Rock’s stand up show at the Mohegan Sun Casino this weekend and he didn’t even mention Bernie Mac. I found that weird.

RIP Bernie…

Where the hell were George Clooney, Brad Pitt and all those white star Bernie co-starred with? Demi Moore, Lucy Lui and Cameron Diaz? I hope they were there

@Shahron

It’s nothing personal against the brother. He was very talented like all our people are. His death is lied upon and it’s done so that they can cover up what he had to do to achieve fame, and what all these black men have had to do to achieve that fame. He was used until he literally was used up. This is why all those famous white people that he bent over to make movies with didn’t show up to his funeral.

RIP Mac-Man. You will truley be missed. Too his wife and family, God knows whats best and he will take care of you. His TV family children and have grown up.

I don’t see anything wrong with wearing a cream colored dress to a funeral, at least her behind and breast are not hanging out all over the place. From the pictures I see his friends represented him properly.

GOD BLESS TO THE FAMILY. WHEN YOU GET LONELY, THINK OF ALL THE GOOD TIMES, THAT WILL MAKE THOSE HARD TIMES EASIER.

I had to watch Player’s Club this weekend just to remember Bernie! That dude was TOO funny to me! I also liked him in Ocean’s Twelve and Head of State. The dude was one of the BEST that eva did it!

God bless and my sincerest condolences to his family and friends. It was already sad today because of the anniversary of my brother’s death is today and now I see this. Plus it’s raining! Where are my doggone Kleenex! (sniffling)

Monday, August 18, 2008 /

i guess i’am through w/ going to memorial services; i question; “just like” at gerald leverts service at bernie mac’s. we [the public ] were told that the obituaries/programs were only for the family, celebirties, v.i.p.’s and friends. alot of people were left out. as there were only a few thousand printed that were availble. people were all over the church trying to secure one. or like in cleveland oh. at gerald levert’s memorial service it was BITTER cold as that wind blew off that lake. thousands stood out side for hours. the vip’s, and the celeb’s were swished right in. then the public was only then let in. and then at that service we were told there aren’t any programs/obituaries for the public. that they too were only for certain guess and friends of the family, only to find some appear on ebay the next day. i bet if gerald and bernie had a say we all would have gotten a copy of their program/obituary. i’am so glad that if i can get up there to see GOD EVERYONE WILL BE A VIP. AND THEIR WILL be no programs for just only the special few.

Looking at the pain/hurt on his (Bernie Macs) wifes face, immediately brought tears to my eyes. They were Married for a very, very, very long time and when you have been with someone over 30 + years (in these days and times) That type of loss is DEVASTATING to a person. My heart truly goes out to her & her daughter.

God Bless the all (his friends, family members everyone).

@ 112 Judah

I can only assume that you have proof of this as you seem certain of what you are saying.

The only thing I know about Bernie Mac was that he was a great comedian so I can only comment on that.

A great loss - RIP Bernie (we will miss you).

Gone to soon but never will be forgotton. I wish it wasn’t so but it is. It brings back to the forfront of my mind that God is, and always will be on his Thron and He alone is in charge. When our work here in this life is finished. He will call us back to Himself. I surely will miss Bernie Mac and his million dollar smile. On my sad days I knew what to do. Stick in a Bernie Mac vidio and laugh my head off. Thanks Bernie.

I`m still in disbelief about his passing. My kids and I watch The Bernie Mac Show each and everytime it airs. He was a REAL comedian. What made me a true fan of his was how he talk about his life in his routines, also his show was reality. When he talked to “America” on his show I could really relate to what he was saying. I`m sure thousands of his fans can agree with me. HE WILL BE MISSED. My condolences to his wife and daughter. Be strong and remember Bernie is ALWAYS WITH YOU.
