RIP… Colin, Jeffery, and Jeff

There has been a lot deaths lately that has given me a pause.  I found out a classmate of mine from high school had just past and a colleague from another company past away this morning and now I heard that Jeff Conway died while in a coma for the last couple of weeks at the young age of 60.  The first two were very normal people who was fighting for their lives only to finally succumbing to their illness.  However, Conway practically threw away his life… When I heard that he actually had a serious drug problem for a long time and that his comatose was related somehow to an overdose of drugs, I was… let’s just say, quite disturbed.
I close my eyes and I can still remember seeing Grease at the theater with a bunch of my friends and having a blast.  Conway was a better actor than Travolta was at that time and I actually thought he was better looking too!  Then he had that stint on “Taxi”.  Damn!  What a waste!  Does fame really do that to most people?  Screw with their heads so much that they need to crush the pain by taking drugs?  Well, I guess he is at peace now or is his afterlife just as tormented?  My personal view about taking drugs is that the person can’t face the reality or the situation that he finds himself in and is looking for any possible way to escape.  So, my question is… if there is a spirit or afterlife, can he face that reality that he is dead?  Will he become a desolate ghost and a lost soul?  I wish him well and that he will or has finally found peace.
To Colin & Jeffery ~~ May both of you, RIP.  You will be missed so very, very much.
