I was sorry to hear about your recent loss and wish you nothing but success, love and happiness during the remainder of your continued journey.

Condolences on the passing of your father. A remarkable man who changed how comedy was presented and accepted in America. It was heartening to read that you have a happy personal life and whatever traumas being the daughter of a celebrity and iconoclast you hjave found your way through.

I did not agree with your father on socual issues but I admired his honesty and ability to cut through the crap and take a unique look at the world.

Sincerely,
John Frank

Your father made me laugh at the world.

I have watched and laughed with your father my entire life. He made me think too. What higher praise could one give to a person who was in the entertainment industry.

Please know how much he will be missed by so many.

And one day soon, though it probably doesn't seem possible right now, your memories of him will bring more smiles and comfort than tears. Until then, stay strong and mourn him as he deserves.

Wishing your family well..

I read your father's jokes almost every day.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your father. He was pure genius! Wishing you and your family light and love -- Michelle

Our deepest condolences on loss of your father. I have been a fan of his since the 1970s and I marveled at his brilliance and honesty about life.

I had the opportunity to meet you father once in Houston after one of his shows, he was a great man and an inspiration to me. My deepest condolences. We have lost a great man.

I will find it harder to go through life without those moments of levity that only your Father could offer. My condolences & love- Marc

I am expressing sympatahies to you and your family. Your dad was funny. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about your father. I've been a weeping wreck all morning. I know this probably isn't the place to do so, but I had to post something somewhere where others were feeling it as well. I've never had a celebrity death affect me in this way before. I guess now I know how people felt when Elvis, or Lennon, or JFK died....

R.I.P. George, and my sincerest condolences to you Kelly.

Dear Ones,

I can't begin to tell you how touching it is to hear your words. Thank you for the support, and the sharing of your love for him. It makes it all a bit easier to take.

I am heart broken, and yet my heart knows that his life touched so many.

Blessings,

To the Carlin family,

My condolences to you. I enjoyed hearing and seeing George's acts which made me laugh - and cry. He will be missed. I'm sure George and Brenda are having a blast wondering what all the hupla is about. God bless you all. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Kelly and Family,
Your father touched our lives on so many levels. My 3 boys adored him as The Conductor in the Thomas the Tank Engine series. Both my husband and I grew up listening to his comedy over the years and we had the pleasure of seeing him last November. Our heart goes out to you during this difficult time. May you find some peace and solace in knowing he touched so many of us throughout the world and brought us joy and enlightenment in many ways. Blessings to you and your family during this difficult time.

Sorry to hear about your father. I just read the blog you did on your mother and it was so touching. I know you will find peace. Thank You.

As an old hippie/ Lutheran I have found spiritual strength in many varied sources. Your father is one of those sources. I am glad you have, also, learned the positive spiritual path from your father like I did from mine. So many people have missed that in their lives. I am glad you are attempting to fill the void.
Bless you and your family like your father blessed me.

I loved how your father thought "outside the box" and saw the humor in the simplest things. He was a great healer because he made us laugh at ourselves and at society so that we didn't take either one too seriously. He was a true genius and will be missed.

Kelly,

Somewhere, somehow I got a tape of your father. I can't even pinpoint when I first listened to it but I loved it. I had been studying in England on my junior year abroad and had returned to the US over spring break. During my break I phoned this girl and asked her out on our first date. We drove down to from Indianapolis to Bloomington, IN and I popped that tape in and we listened the whole way laughing uncontrollably. In typical fashion my parents were aghast to learn that I'd played something so vulgar for a "date." This Sunday June 29th that girl and I will have been married 11 years and now have 2 kids. 14+ years later I still don't think my parents care much for the tape, but my wife and I still think back to that day and laugh as much now as we did then. Your dad will always have a special place near and dear to us. We wish you and your family much strength in your time of loss.

Regards,

Michael & Jodi

Your father was brilliant. I read an essay of yours last year and I believe his brilliance is also within you.

I lost a very intelligent, witty (and painfully difficult at times) father a number of years ago. The amazing thing is, as time goes on, I've managed to remember the better times and his funny moments. I don't know what kind of a Dad Mr.Carlin was, but I hope that you have the same experience, remembering him at his best as time goes on.

Peace to you and yours, not just during this difficult time, but always.

Dear Kelly,

Our most sincere condolences on the loss of your dad. My husband and I grew up with him too. He was a constant in our conversations and always made us laugh at the human in all of us. We will miss him.

Linda & Steve

Your father was a brillant and funny man. I had the great pleasure to see him perform a few times. He will be missed deeply. I only wish I would have had the great honor to meet him.

I wouldn't be the person I am today if it went for your father's experiences and his abillity to share them. Fortunately my sun never did explode and I came back to earth before it was too late. Hopefully my daughter will learn enough from my past experiences to avoid self destruction and still make people laugh.You are a true survivor.

The Carlin spirit will live on forever.

I listened to your dads albums in the 70's with my dad, making sure mom didn't know, and we laughed our butts off as quietly as we could. It's a great memory.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad will be missed by millions. But what a comfort it must be to know how much laughter he brought to so many for so long.

Thanks for the place to post this message.

Your father was one amazing and talented man. I grew up along with his jokes and
his intelligent way of dealing with all of the world and life..Always made one think..... Blessings to you at this time........

Dear Kelly Carlin McCall- your father was a comedic genius. At the same time, not without serious cost to you. I am so moved by your story 'The Day the Sun Exploded" that I can't tell you. You are very strong, know that the best of him lives on in you...

My husband has been sitting watching George on Y/tube since he heard the news. Sad news but take solace in the fact that he bought something very special to the world; the gift of laughter. Condolences to you and George's extended family and friends.

I loved your father so much; the way he based the establishment, any kind of establishment. My condolences to you. Uma Simon

He is an inspiration to anyone who appreciates comedy and will live on forever via cds, dvds, audios, tapes, records, and books.

Your dad has been a piece of our hearts and thoughts for many years. Along with so many millions of others, we offer our hearts and thoughts to you and your family. We grieve but mostly we are grateful to have had your dad on this journey with us.

Our most heartfelt feelings go out to you, Kelly. The one skit of your dad's that truly made me wet my pants was when he was talking about his dog and cat and their "intimacy" problem, and then he showed their picture and said that it was on his Christmas card. I cried, my teeth fell out, and yep, I peed my pants. THE most hilarious moment. On the more serious side he had a "just off center" way of looking at the world . . . he will be missed. K and S

He was my hero. I define 'hero' in the context that he had a level of rare authenticity which embraced the full experience of being human; the all of it...he observed everything...

Thank you for sharing your blog...your mentoring/coaching is helping folks realise clarity in their own lives. Your Dad connected with so many folks with his ability to communicate with a gleen in his eye. He gave us the ability to have fun peeling back the layers of the cultural onion!
Similarly, you help folks peel back the level of the 'onion' in your own unique way.

Respectfully,
Laura M. Chegwidden

My daughter woke me last night to tell me of your dad's passing-I passed my lifelong love of his humor on to her. I am so sorry for your loss. I read, "The Day the Sun Exploded", and shared it with my daughter as well. We experienced that, too, living with her dad. My heart goes out to you. Jane Henderson

You're about to get a million replies from multiple different message boards.

Your father was the best thinker to ever live and he will be missed.

For some reason I have always paid attention to everything your Dad had to say. Just the other day I caught an interview of him stating that the only regret of his life was the effect that his drug use had on your life.

I am sorry for your loss. I love your journey of self discovery and how it leads you to help others.

I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep....Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go. May Sarton Poet and writer

Your father "coached" us as a society to look at our frailties, inconsistencies, weaknesses and through his humor, often embarrassed us into being better human beings. His talent and view of life are much appreciated.

I am glad to see that those traits of challenging our perceptions are carried on in your work if only on an individual to individual basis. Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone who love the very unique soul that is your father.
