America’s funniest funny woman has died. Joan Rivers, 81, died one week after she suffered cardiac arrest during a medical procedure.

She leaves a daughter, Melissa, and a grandson, Cooper, and a nation who couldn’t help but laugh at her quick wit, her outrageous comments.  She never stopped - until today.

Heaven welcomes home another star. Joan Rivers joins Robin Williams – what a reunion.
