It would have been quite a different show. But a good one, I think. She was/is/will always be fierce. And not Tyra 'fierce,' but a really strong woman <3

She was only 76 too... :(

And so close to Christmas :(

I still love the fact that she was on an episode of Family Guy as the voice of Stewie's ship. I thought that the fact that she did that was brilliant <3

:( Aww. She's with Gene now~!

[spacemonkeyluvn]

I know. I guess that makes me feel a little better. But she was still so young. And it happened around Christmas too :( I suppose it really is the hardest on those left behind. She's a peace now, but her family will miss her so much (her fans as well) <3

Yeah. Best to remember her through her life and roles rather than focus on her death. <3
