Hi guys.

I'm a big fan of Gimme A Break and I'm majorly ticked. I recently came across a blog website where someone who thinks he/she is funny had something very unkind to say about Nell's death:

See This Person's Site For Yourself (http://www32.brinkster.com/macmullen/)

Somewhere in America, Joey Lawrence is in mourning. After searching his soul for the words to best eulogize his mentor, his mouth emits a heartfelt "Woah!". Nell Carter collapsed and died in her home yesterday, thus putting an end to any threats of a Gimme A Break! reunion show. Initial reports said that the Tony-award winning actress died of natural causes. A reporter on Entertainment Tonight called Carter's death "a big loss". No word on whether or not the pun was intentional.

The comments afterward are even more disrespectful. It seems that no matter how tragic the loss, there will always be someone to make fun of it.

I really should leave this person a nasty comment or two....

"Tacky" is not a harsh enough word.
