Lucille Désirée Ball - August 6, 1911 - April 26, 1989

One of the greatest gifts to mankind is laughter, and one of the greatest gifts to laughter is Lucille Ball. God has her now but thanks to television, we’ll have her forever.

“I Love Lucy was never just a title.” - Desi Arnaz

Lucille Ball sent flowers to Carol Burnett every year on her birthday. When Burnett awoke on the day of her 56th birthday in 1989, she discovered via the morning news that Ball had died. Later that afternoon, the flowers Ball had arranged arrived at Burnett’s house, with the note “Happy Birthday, Kid. Love, Lucy.”
