Saturday was a sad day at the House of Hope church in Chicago.
Thousands of people turned out to attend the memorial service held to honor Bernie Mac, who passed away last week after suffering from Pneumonia.
Lots of celebrities also attended; Chris Rock, Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer and Rev. Jesse Jackson. Others included, Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle.Oprah, Andy Garcia and Barack Obama also sent their condolences.
Bernie Mac was remembered for his good soul, passion and big heart.
It was said that he 'never lost his soul in Chicago' and always wanted to do something to get children away from the life of violence.
His sense of humor was unique and he truly was a king of comedy.
Bernie will be very much missed ...
I guess i'll be watching The Bernie Mac Show all over again!
