On "Autopsy scheduled for painter Thomas Kinkade"

Jannet Francis: "He was just a man and someone I worked for and admired. As one of his personally trained Master Highlighters I can say Tom was a good man and an accomplished artist whose motivation and inspiration for his work came from an authentic faith and desire to share his gifts and make a difference in this world. There will be plenty of time to deal with the backlash of controversy surrounding his company's business practices, but now is the time to pray for those who are grieving. Whatever your opinions are please honor his passing as you would any beloved brother. I am thankful to have known and worked with him."

Stop being such a whiney baby, get a damn job, and realize millions or billions of people would kill to get a tiny percent of what you get!!! Become a member of the human race! Not a selfish piece of crap!"
