I hope Debbie's doing alright.

According to Tough Pigs the memorial service was a private moment for the company and the family. I am just glad that they were kind enough to show us snippets of it as if we were there to say goodbye as well.

The whole service is here, since it's unlisted, I'm not giving out the whole link: kCvyMmOUmuk I love hearing all the main Muppet performers and Tau Bennet sing in their natural voices.

Thank you for the link.

It's definitely the end of an era. My childhood practically died last year. Not only did we lose Caroll, but we lost Russi Taylor as well.

It was interesting how I found out. Usually, my dad or my sister finds out (I try to avoid the news as much as possible, so as not to feed my depression, anxiety, and paranoia), and they send text messages. My parents found out first, and they actually called to let me know, because they felt this was too big a deal to me to send via text message. And they were vacationing in Germany at the time! On Christmas day, my dad, my sister, and I have a family tradition of choosing a Christmas movie (or special or Christmas themed episode) to watch. My pick, in honor of Caroll, was "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street."
