Casey Kasem is Dead

This is a sad day for many, me too. Yesterday I heard Casey Kasem died. He died on Father's Day. His medical treatment was discontinued. I loved him as the voice of Shaggy in the Scooby Doo series. He did this for many years. He was talented and funny. I had not heard about him for years and then I read his current wife Jean was keeping him away from people, even his adult kids. Then his kids went to court to be able to visit him so I thought.  After a couple of court hearings they were given control of Casey's medical treatment. Not long after Kerri his daughter had the tubes removed that he needed for hydration. They said he had dementia. So now if a person has dementia they should be forced to die? His daughter Kerri said Kasem left a living will. How do we know that the living will was valid and or that he was in his right mind when he signed it. His kids are not fighting for his remains. Were they interested in him alive? I bet they will fight for his money. So it seems he was surrounded by selfish people, his wife Jean and his daughter Kerri who only wanted to control him and the last days of his life. So Kerri got control and got what she wanted and her father died on Father's Day. Casey made a lot of people happy and a lot of people laugh as the voice of Shaggy and other characters. I believe he is with the Lord and now at peace, away from these very selfish people. I feel like I lost a member of my family. I thank God for Casey Kasem.
