    “What hideous drapes!” LOL! So maybe heaven is not what you but something designed by a committee… (which if you think about it, is what religions do).

    Reminds me of the death of Bobby Simone (played by Jimmy Smits) on NYPD BLUE.

    What a heart-breaking scene that was!!

    I’ve enjoyed this series. I’m agnostic, but know I’ll die someday; hopefully in my sleep.

    One of my all-time time favorite conclusions to any story arc anywhere. Perfect for Lacey.

    I always liked to imagine Lacey speaking with Angela Lansbury’s voice.

    Picked them out?

    Not: “And Mrs. God said, ‘Let there be drapes’; and there were drapes.

    And Mrs. God saw the drapes were good.”?

    The drapes are just funny shaped clouds. Everything there is a funny shaped cloud

    A rock musician dies and goes to heaven, and St. Peter is describing how he will now be jamming with Hendrix, John Bonham, etc. The guy is delighted, then St. Peter says, “Just one catch – God’s girlfriend is the lead singer.”

    As soon as she insulted the drapes, she found herself drowning in a lake of everlasting fire…

    Reminds me of the twilight zone episode with a similar story, but the loss of so many of my dearest friends and family makes me so sensitive to losing even a cartoon character. This is the down side to living longer. Happy Easter weekend folks, and appreciate what you have and how you came to get it.

    I hear she looks a lot like Betty White, but that’s just a coincidence.

    Sad to see Lacey go. I have to wonder at the re resemblance to her homeless doppelganger as to whether they were related.

    They’re not drapes, Lacey. They’re tapestries. (…which show scenes from history. All of them.)

    The crazy part about liking Lacey so much? She was a conservative Republican congresswoman. Would she be able to win a primary today?
