With the passing of each year comes many good things – accomplishments, successes and so many wonderful memories. But, along with the good comes saying goodbye to people we’ve loved, watched and been fans of for many years. We lost some pretty notable and courageous people in 2016 – and remembering them and their contributions to the world is the best way we can keep their names and spirits alive. From celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor to astronauts like John Glenn – we’ll miss these faces and names as we move into another New Year.
