I was so sad when I heard she passed. Her books started my life long love of reading. She has written some unforgettable characters.RIP LITERARY QUEEN!
R I p Anne rice. She was a great author!
Life is complicated, but ultimately short. Don't waste a moment wondering what other people think.
As a proud atheist, I love her all the same. It doesn't matter whether she wrote about vampires, angels, witches. She had a gift, and she will be missed by many myself included. That is the true legacy of an artist of such calibre.
she wasn't religious but she was no atheist she believed in Christ her husband was I hope he changed before he died so they are reunited she went after him
"proud atheist" is redundant
nah. I was into religion and I can only feel pride that I left all that behind.@@jamikatechaos9972
I believe I understand, a little, her reasons for going back to christianity now. I loved her books and now knowing a little more about her life seems to fill in some of the gaps. Seeing that she loved her family, seeing her smile, her lifestyle, was a pleasure. Bless your family. RIP Anne. 😪
as
@Cherish God She left the Church again. But, her two books about Christ were amazing...
I loved The Chronicles and the Mayfair witches. It's was along time ago that I read all of her books. It was Anne that made me a reader. RIP Darling you will be missed.
I spent years on my life, 11 to 14, immersed in her world of Vampires. They taught me a lot about myself and kept me company when I was a broody, unhappy kid.
She was fantastic.
Rest in peace, Anne! And blessings to your family!
A legend is resting now. Her books were studied all around the world.
her vampire books were never horrors, they were deep and delightful emotional reads. not gore not shocking, but really deep intellectual loving things...anne's love of history and her pondering of life and its meaning comes through it. christian readers, muslim readers, jewish readers, athiest readers all love her work. she had a god given gift.
Born as a Roman Catholic I've been a practicing Buddhist since my 20's. As a rule, I do not read fiction but I had read "IwaV" long before the movie. Dealing with devastating loss myself, I connected with the idea a story of a child that would never age.. of surviving the loss of loved ones.
Once, at an auction, I was bidding on an original copy of a massive book on Catholicism with Anne Rice's notes on nearly every paragraph, the bidding wasn't that high but I backed off and someone else got that book. I normally do not regret losing an auction but that book has been in my mind often. I would loved to have spent hours reading all of her notes dissecting the ideas that she would pour into "IwaV.
RIP a person that questioned faith, grief, and believed in the end that we all should believe in perseverance.
As a rule, I do not read fiction
That's a very stupid policy
I loved her even when it was not popular to love her. I visited her when I was 17 and learned a LOT about human nature. She took the time to lovingly sign my, "Queen of the Damned" novel.
Well Know Anne Has Reunited With Her Beloved Michelle All Is Well Again Rest Easy Ms.Rice 🙏
Such a lovely individual and great writer. How she described herself from a child with her imaginations and in her writing literally is how I feel. It’s nice to know that what I felt wasn’t crazy. She will be truly missed. I’m glad she shared her works with us. I love the flannel night gown. I’m young (kind of) I love mine. Call me old fashioned, I love it. Rest in Heaven Angel.
RIP Anne Rice. 🕊🕯⚰🕯🕊
🌹🖤 Thrive peacefully through this eternal existence, Anne Rice.
You'll always be one of my top favourite authors, with your visually intricate and historical dark fantasy storytelling.
Also, always inspiring writers to write where the pain & happiness dwells the deepest. You wrote from the heart & soul, and an inspiration to many.
🌹🖤
Anne Rice "A life well lived" Rest In Power my Queen
I’m an athiest. Heavily lean that way, at any rate. I took a minor in Religious Studies in college (majored in Philosophy, went on to obtain J.D.). It’s true that even atheists acknowledge something mysterious about life (9:33), and it is true that Rice was a magnificent author. She is already greatly missed!
Not that mysterious whenever you consider cell reproduction.
I'm so glad to be reminded of her faith. My books on Amazon talk about this.
After a period of intense Catholic religion, she left the church again, and did not return.
I love that she eased up this phase and went back to unleashed creativity and freedom the last decade.
Rip to a legend, her books are amazing
Anne rice is one of my infulances R.i.P Anne rice
RIP... thanks for the stories ❤
Amazing individual and writer who inspired so many 💝🎆🌃🌹
Cbs Sunday morning you always give us hope
Enjoyed reading her books. Would love to see another one of her books created into a movie.
BRAVO !!
I loved you, Anne. I love your son!
Anne Rice, Stephen King and R L Stein from Goosebump series are reading obstacles I never Imagined I could read entirely by myself.
She found peace in religion. I hope it brought her what she needed.
Anne rice was a truly great writer. Sad she’s no longer with us.
Rest in Peace beautiful soul
She also denounced Christianity years later & became a secular humanist..
Very True. She said she was a follower of Jesus, but not of Christianity.
so sad she passed I hope Stan found his way and they are able to be together and with Michelle
Rip love
Rip Anne rice 💓
RIP Mrs. Rice, You will be missed.
Never liked the movie, but loved the books...
I was expecting Anne Rice to write a third book of "The Wolf Gift". But now I think that will never happen.
So happy she quickly got back out of religion. Smart lady. She is missed.
GOD MADE ALL HIS CHILDREN IN HIS LIKENESS OF HIM, ALL HIS CHILDREN ARE HIS...GOD IS LOVE!!!
My favorite author.
All circles presupposed, they'll end where they begin. God Speed Rice!
There’s always a good/best reason on why Anne Rice will have people drawn to her books.
She was widely known for her Lester books but she wrote some better ones. Servant of the Bones, The Mummy, and her Taltos books.
So sad . My reading beginning.
Fascinating.
gosh she is tiny. I went thru the same thing with my church and then God. i was lutheran. lol
I know that others have already mentioned this, but in the U.S. with our multi-cultural society, not everyone believes in the Judeo-Christian god, even though we know she is talking about the Christian god in the Catholic faith. Still not everyone believes in the god she is talking about. Just Sayin!
3:40 Michelle death was very hard for Ann Rice. I can relate to her grief
I Pray she was SAVED Before she Died 🙏✝️🙏
Hello hi Anne rice 🍙
former Catholics found it suffocating its not the same as believing or not in Christ but Religion often is so suffocating people turn to Atheism thinking that is better when it does not have to be that way you can love Jesus and not subscribe to a religion I do read the bible Jesus is love he loves everyone Yes he loves Chris her son
I ❤ dolls
I really enjoyed her sleeping beauties series
Hello hi hi happy 😊 hi rip Anne rice 🍙
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley wrote Frankenstein after the loss of her child- a woman’s heart is the heart of the
you-and-I-verse (Word)
All them so called Christian fans who find her son disturbing need to check themselves he is not hurting them they need to mind their own Jesus says to love your brother the word Christian means a relationship with Christ nothing hard or fancy
I saw this saying once and it rang true to me sitting in a church does not make me any more of a Christian than sitting in a garage makes me a car LOL
Very sorry. Re:her daughter. Leukemia. Tragic.
She got the clot shot and encouraged others to do so, died of stroke like many others as well. Do your research, folks. It's less rare than you think!
The truth is out there. Seconds away.
You are referring to the C Vaccine correct?
I sometimes wonder if that had something to do with her stroke.
Are strokes really common with it? Even after a year of getting one?
Memnoch the Devil was a great story I aliken to Lucifer and the ordeal with God. Jesus as a 7 year old sounds amusing if she fictionalized it in comparison to memnoch read her Vamp series, Mayfair witch series, and even her Werewolf tales.
I am Brad Pitt team, but watching" interview with a vampire " , I believe that Tom Cruise was the strong "card" of this movie.
I think it'ss good she came back to Jesus...even if as a Christian I'm not a fan of Catholicism. Too much idoltry, rituals and half hearted apologies for me. Interesting though.

I’ve never understood any backlash from the Christian community. Considering the love Jesus portrayed was one of acceptance and welcoming. He intentionally set out and choose the most challenged of men to become disciples. An example for all Christians to follow. A great irony indeed.
It should be noted that she left Christianity altogether twelve years after her supposed conversion. This video is outdated. She couldn't believe how ignorant Catholics and other Christians were.
How strange human beings know they're going to die but most times go about trying to prevent it. The Bible is very informative and contradictory but flawed because how absurd to believe a God who can see ALL-THINGS created that very "Devil" he is punishing mankind loves you!
You've obviously missed the entire point of the Bible. God did not create the devil. He did not punish us with the devil. And yes he does love us. Reread the beginning of the Bible of Genesis.
@@e.witover4222 😒.. Not because you can't read and are ignorant to what is before you mean everyone else is. Apparently, not even common sense resonates with you because by that alone if God is "The Creator" of all things who made this Devil? Then now you are going to regurgitate the same nonsense about God creating an Angel who then fell from grace blah blah blah as if that same God didn't have foresight so where did that Devil's knowledge come from? Please have a seat and start using your brain for once instead of perpetuating this NONSENSE!
I've already answered your question. But I'm sorry I don't dialogue with people who are rude. You've already proven you are not open to a decent conversation. And you are not open to learning. May God bless you.
@@e.witover4222 Now I'm rude 😂.. The truth is an offense and liberty but some people prefer to be angry than freed. May it set you free from perpetuating nonsense that has done nothing other than make you passive to reality!
Too bad it didn't last.
Another one needlessly warped and plagued by religious nonsense. It takes a toll. It often fuels great art, but at what cost?!
how dare she encourages people to believe in that FABLE STORY!? 💩
She left the Catholic Church again - and said she could no longer call herself a Christian in good conscience - back in 2010, due to the Christian Rights attitudes on birth control, gay marriage and their rabid anti Science rhetoric amongst other things.
