Hail and farewell to those we lost in 2020

[@route99]

Among all these worthy memorials I'd like to remember my beautiful grandmother, Mary Kennedy. She passed away at 90 this year and was the personification of the word kind. She was a devoted wife, a wonderful mother of three and grandmother of five, and a loving sister and daughter. Mary was the sweetest, most dedicated and giving person you could get to know. She worked in the airline industry during the Mad Men days and enjoyed a good crossword puzzle and an episode of Wheel of Fortune later in life. Please remember her among all those we sadly lost this year. She's always in our hearts.

[@tanyawade5197]

Blessed Mrs. Mary Kennedy. Rest well, sweet lady. @route99 I wish you peace & comfort in your grief. I hope you are able to recall precious moments spent with your wonderful grandmother. Blessings to you💗

I lost my 38 year-old son in Sep 2020 (due to someone else's negligence that caused him irreversible health issues). I don't think I am ever going to be okay. I figured out why it is so much harder for a mother to lose a child: mom's heartbeat was the first the baby ever heard and two souls shared one body for a time. There is just nothing else that beats that.

Hate to be that guy but the memorial is skewed based on whom “they” consider to be the most memorable. Did we learn nothing from this year? Every year we see these beautiful, haunting, lovely memorials yet you’d think only two Black-people died in a year and this year was much worse since nearly 66% of covid deaths were suffered by people of color but overwhelmingly shown are white deaths as the face of covid. It’s almost as if Black-people have to be outshone even in death. I hope we can one day get to the point where we don’t value the lives of one race over the other and certainly not in such a blatant way. Each life deserves special attention on its own - in life and in death. Here’s to 2021 🎉🎉

My heart is still broken for Chadwick Boseman.what a treasure he was.Gifted, dedicated,and just a great human being.S.I.P King.

Thank you for not forgetting Neil Peart. Aside from his physical theatrics on the drums, he was their lyricist and a writer of books as well.

Nobody gives annual tributes like Sunday Morning. I've loved the moment of silence and year end tribute since I was a child.

Imagine how long this would be if they did a memorial to all those who died from covid-19. They're worthy of remembering too.

[@matthewtaylor3347]

They mentioned on another segment dedicated to those that died “if we gave a second for every person that died from COVID, the segment would be 4 days long”

The TV losses this year they leff off that they shouldn't have include Phyllis George, who was on the NFL today on CBS in the 70s and their morning program in the 80s, Hugh Downs(who admittedly is best known for work on NBC on the Today Show and Concentration and 20/20 on ABC), and game show host Tom Kennedy

I include my friend of over 45 years who passed 2 days before Thanksgiving from cancer. My friend, Brenda, the kindest person I've ever known. Couldn't go to the funeral because of COVID. It was immediate family only. I will miss her for the rest of my life but know I will see her some day in the future when it is my turn to leave.

I had the greatest pleasure of being acquainted with Rafer Johnson 30 some-odd years ago, when I volunteered with California Special Olympics for six years. Not only was he a gold-medal Olympian and president of the organization, he was a gentleman and an honorable man. His passing made me realize how fast time has gone by.

[@coldwinter5710]

I am still mourning the loss of the, once in a lifetime musical genius & innovator, Edward Van Halen. Considering his massive impact on the electric guitar & rock music over the past 45 years, I think they could've offered him a few more seconds of honor...but I am a bit sensitive at the moment. 💔

What a wonderful program, I cried all thru it. Thank you for your work, I have watched SM since the program's beginning~ Kuralt inspired a great deal of my 68 years on this planet, his reports from the road(s) were inspirational. I hope we never have another year of tragedy such as we have and still are experiencing.

This was a wonderfully made piece. How you used “Festivus” to go from Jerry Stiller to Alex Trebek then used Regis on Jeopardy to transition to his section, wonderful. And using the music of Bill Withers and Johnny Nash as bookends 👏🏽👏🏽

As saddened as we all are are of the passing of such well known people, let us not forget those who aren’t, the neighbor across the street that helped run the local food pantry for 30 years, the teacher who taught thousands of children over their 40 year career, the men and women of our military and public service. There are so many non famous people who have contributed so much which go unnoticed, for all of you, Thank You, may you RIP!
