Mac's Wife: 'He's in a Better Place'

0815bernie.jpg

Bernie Mac passed away last weekend -- and now the comedian's widow, Rhonda, is talking to People magazine about his last days.

"He didn't look good to me and I knew this could be it," Rhonda said. She described the bond shared with her husband of thirty years -- and how she felt his presence the day after he died. "A chill just came over me and I knew it was him," she said. "I get through because I know he's in a better place now."

Mac died August 9 at age 50, due to complications from pneumonia. He is survived by his wife and their 30-year-old daughter, Je'Niece.

WHEN I HEARD THAT BERNIE DIED IT WAS NOT ONLY A REALITY CHECK BUT IT WAS A WAKE UP CALL, I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT BERNIE MAC WOULD HAVE DIED AT SUCH A YOUNG AND VIBRANT AGE. DEATH IS NEVER A GOOD THING BUT THIS SHOULD BE A MESSAGE TO ALL OF US THAT LIFE IS NOT PROMISED AND NO MATTER WHAT TRIALS WE MAY BE FACED WITH WE MUST ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST BECAUSE HE IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.FOR EVERY ONE OF US THERE IS AN EXPIRATION DATE BUT WHILE WE ARE STILL BREATHING WE MUST FULFILL OUR PURPOSE HERE ON EARTH

My heart goes out to the wife and family of Mr. Bernie Mac. He was very special in so many ways. No matter how down you were in life, once you turn on the TV and see him doing what he did best, you had to laugh and be happy. He made me laugh so many times when I thought I couldn’t. God Bless him and to his wife, you are so blessed to have had such a man to love and to love you. Not many women can say, They know true love.

Bernie Mac will be missed. Eventhough I never met him personally, as I was at the service, it felt like I knew him. This will be another person that will truly be missed. May God bless his family and help them through this. Thank you Bernie for giving us laughter when at times we wanted to cry… MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!

God be with you all with nothing but Prayers and Love. Remember the good times that you all shared( We all know there were plenty of them.) Bernie Mac was my favorite comedian, always telling others that once he got on stage he did not have to say much, he could just stand there and look at the audience making faces, and you would start bursting from the seams by laughing. God Bless……
