This show needs to wait until what truly is the end of the year, before compiling their list of the departed. They should have waited until January 5th because there have been several extra deaths which have occurred since this broadcast, including Linda Lavin and President Jimmy Carter.

[@martyngross9089]

Not just faces and dates: I've been following these CBS Sunday Morning tributes for the last few years and am amazed at how the stories weave together every time. Every time I see these pieces, I'm somehow both inspired to make an impact and humbled to enjoy the simple things. Excellent work, as always.

[@somerset8088]

I, too, am always struck by the “Six Degrees of Separation” connections that the CBS tribute writers weave at every year’s end. This time it was Kris Kristofferson writing “Me and Bobby McGee”which in the next video slide the Dead’s Phil Lesh was singing; survivor Martin Greenfield who learned to sew in Auschwitz and dressed Presidents and celebrities while the son of Jewish immigrants, Richard Sherman, dressed them in song (beautifully stated!); and M. Emmet Walsh asking Chevy Chase about the children’s book Babar while Lawrence de Brunhoff continued his father’s tale about the beloved elephant. The CBS writers need to be hired for the Academy Award’s In Memoriam segment next year!

There is a perfect saying, a bible verse in the gospels, that fits with what you said..I lost my mom so I relate..."...there were many others...which if every one should be written, I suppose the whole world would not have space for all the books sthat would be written." John 21:25 (talking of all the things Jesus did when alive) Hoping you enjoy that vs as much as I do, as it is so all encompassing to include you dad...and my mom.

Surprising considering she starred in movies long before Harry Potter, which is surprising given the fact some people in the US don't really know that deep about other people outside of the US, including Canada and Mexico.

[@DanBriggs3000]

I look at life as a endless bus ride, people get on, and get off, what you are left with is the memories of the journey, and of your journey mates. In regards to the Hail and Farewell segments that Sunday Morning does.....it makes me sad in two ways: #1: Of who we lost, and our fond (or not so) memories of those who "got off the bus at their stop". #2: How far other networks have slid in doing a quality, well put together retrospect; full of respect, objectivity, and kindness. CBS always knocks it out of the park. The other close one would be TCM, but that one is a Film based retrospect. Keep it up Sunday Morning, and we'll be here to watch.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

I guess you can say that...I do think it's more of a time/space type of timeline you wish to go on as every person's timeline is unique to one another. When that person's timeline ends, the road stops at a dead end. Basically the dead ends would be akin to their final resting place. But it goes to show that cancer, obesity, and many other diseases sure does end up killing many famous and underground people for so many years, heck, one of the founding members of a furry website passed away from cancer as well, but since I didn't talk with him that much, I didn't shed any tears. But Susan from youtube passing as well as the man of "Super Size Me", that was quite a shock. For Liam Payne though, many felt tragic at that point, akin to that of Tim, aka Avicii from 6 years ago.
