Bernie Mac's Funeral Arrangements

Nneka
The funeral services for Bernie Mac, one of the Original Kings of Comedy, will be held Saturday August 16, 2008, seven days after the comedic actor gave up the ghost from complications with pneumonia. He died at Chicago's Northwestern Hospital at the golden age of 5o years.

On Saturday, those whose lives he touched through personal relationships, friendship, laughter, work, or in any other way, are welcomed to the public funeral service to be held at the House of Hope Church. It is located at 752 E 114th St. in Chicago, his native town. The church has the capacity to hold 10,000 people.

The many celebrities who have worked with him and had friendship with him all had great things to say about this man. Chris Rock, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney are among the cast of stars who praised Mac for his dedication to family and to his acting.

He left behind a wife of 32 years, Rhonda; a daughter Je'Niece who is 30, and a one year old granddaughter Jasmine. His family was his greatest pride, and man anyone can see that for his 32 years of dedication to them.

The full detail of the funeral is forthcoming. His family is still so distressed and in shock, as they had expected this to have been just another trip to the hospital. Never did they, nor any of his friends, co-stars, nor did his adoring fans, expect this sad news. He was a man full of life and laughter, seeing opportunities to poke fun at every situation good or bad. Adieu to the Mac, Adieu!

    I would like to offer The Mac Family my prayers and condolonces at this most difficult time. To me Bernie Mac was the greatest of all time in comedy because he was truthful and real. His performances are legendary and he will never be forgotten. He has inspired me to be as real and truthful as it gets when it comes to life and I want to thank him for that. Go ahead Bernie and take your rest, We all loved you but God loved you best.
