This may not be terribly original but 2007 was filled with too many deaths for Raven.
Mute Monday: 2007 Year in Review
HOPI PRAYER
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry:
I am not there, I did not die.

Great requiem for the fallen. At least most of them lived long productive lives.
God, we lost so many this year...great MM!
MM: Yes they did which is great! No better way to live. Happy MM To YOU!
Kate:
Far too many and you don't really realize it until a list is made.
Happy MM to you as well. ^^
I'll echo Troll's sentiments. Nicely done.
Happy MM to a fellow Land of Enchanter. BTW, how's the snow stacking up your way?
Moi:
Thanks! It got to be a bit depressing after awhile, I'm sure there many more but there has to be a stopping point, ya know?
Merry MM to you too! Its steadly snowing right now, schools have been cancled for the day and the roads are slick and icy. And You?
Thank you for this post :) It's nice to remember those we have lost along the way. (I didn't even know L.Claiborne passed =/ )
Great way of expressing the year hun. Sad but it is all a fact of life. Happy MM!
Thanks for depressing me. :-)
I did not know about Tom Postman or Douherty Denny.
Bummer.
Nice tribute to many creative people!
Happy MM!

Thank you Dear Lady. It's pretty much the only picture of Judy we have. It was taken just about the time she was diagnosed with cancer, about 12 years ago. *HUGS YOU BACK* ^_^

Happy MM
Aunty Belle:
I miss some of them so much!
Thanks! Clan Pena has *almost* kicked the bug. Happy MM to you as Well!
There really were a lot of them this year. I generally don't get too upset when celebrities die (the last one that really affected me was Kurt Cobain), but it's still sad. Even if it is part of life.
Wonderful tribute...very moving MM.
yes...and so many that I had forgotten..good remembrance there...
Native Minnow:
Until I started researching this theme, I didn't know that Sidney Sheldon had been among the listed. So much talent gone but well remembered. Happy MM to you!
Java Junkie:
Thank you! It took some time to put together. Merry MM to you!
JYankee:

I modified a MEME you might want to try. I don't do tagging.
