Amadeus Mozart

He wrote such beautiful music and died at such an early age. What music could he have written when he further perfected his art. Another great tragedy.

Gilda Radner

Such a lovely lady with such talent at bringing humor into peoples' lives. We sorely miss the contributions she would have made to comic movies and TV.

Lord Byron

He was a great poet and died so young. What wonderful poetry he could have made had he lived longer to provide it to the world.

Robert Kennedy

Another assassinated individual. He inspired much hope in so many people, yet never really had the chance to put forth effort of his own to prove himself.

Martin Luther KIng, Jr.

He gave so much and made so much of a difference, but I can't help but think that if he hadn't been assassinated, he could have helped ease race relations along further and so much discord could have been avoided, but we'll never know.
