Oprah, Steve Harvey, Marlon Wayans and more share Robin Williams condolescences

Robin Williams may be gone but he will never be forgotten. When you live a life for others there is no way that you cannot impact the world. Oprah, Steve Harvey, Whoopi Goldberg and many more were at a loss of words when hearing of the suicide of Williams.

Marlon Wayans posted the above photo quoting, "No words. Just no words. I am completely taken. One of my near dear heroes... Gone. The world lost a gift, a genius, a comedic pioneer. So gifted. Showed the world to take comedy serious. God bless u and rest you, what do u do with the guy that can do EVERYTHING? EVERYTHING!!! Thank u for your artistry and inspiration. Make a God poss his pants... Jesus too. Love u and respect u #riprobinwilliams"

Robin Williams tribute highlights his best quotes

Robin Williams, was an amazing actor that could make you laugh until your face hurt, he could make you cry like a river and he could make you question your own life because he was just that good. Committing his laugh to make others happy, nobody would be able to understand the depression that he was dealing with in his own life. Hiding behind his comedy and possibly his Hollywood celebrity no one could visualize the hurt that he was feeling.

Many quotes were remembered in a tribute on Instagram, check out the best ones in the gallery by clicking here. And remember that life is never promised so do your best everyday to make life easy for others because you never know what is going on on the other side of that smile. Rest in peace, Robin Williams and our condolences to your family! -joi pearson @joiapearson

Oprah, Beyoncé, Ashanti, Diddy and more celebs remember Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou will always be celebrated for a life of service and a heart for her fellow man and woman. She will greatly be missed. Her legacy will live on through her words and the actions that followed. Her very close friend Oprah posted on her Instagram,

“I’ve been blessed to have Maya Angelou as my mentor, mother-sister, and friend since my 20s. She was there for me always, guiding me through some of the most important years of my life. The world knows her as a poet but at the heart of her, she was a teacher. ‘When you learn, teach. When you get, give’ is one of my best lessons from her. She won three Grammys, spoke six languages and was the second poet in history to recite a poem at a presidential inauguration. But what stands out to me most about Maya Angelou is not what she has done or written or spoken, it’s how she lived her life. She moved through the world with unshakable calm, confidence and a fierce grace. I loved her and I know she loved me. I will profoundly miss her. She will always be the rainbow in my clouds.”
