Celebrities of all areas are mourning the deaths of their fellow workers. While it may seem this way at the end of any year, 2009 has been an especially hard year with the loss of the likes of Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett.

And now the recently deceased Brittany Murphy must be added to the list.

I suppose that as you get older and recognize more of the names on the obituary list, it feels like each passing year takes away more and more of the people you grew up with and admired.

I knew that this year had dealt some hard hits, but I didn’t quite realize the extent of it until I saw everyone put together in this video.

Wow.
