Such terribly sad news... I was literally beside myself yesterday for an hour yesterday, with tears on my face... Such a gut punch.

The people here on this forum DO realize how much this show, this world, the actors, mean to us. I thank everyone for sharing their stories of Lara. She seemed like such a sweet person, and really took the time with the fans, and DID understand our well-intentioned obsession with the show (and her).

Only interaction I had personally with Lara, was when I bought her book from her website back in the early 2000s. She took the time to sign it and write a heartfelt short note in her gorgeous handwriting. She even wrote out the name and address on the outside of the padded envelope. I will cherish that.

She'll always be in my heart as my first childhood crush. Thank you Lara (Ms. Rickey) for everything. I'm sure to my last dying day, I'll be watching you and loving every minute!!!!

I used to have this dream I met her in an elevator at some random place and was able to thank her for giving my life so much joy. Strange, but true. 

Thanks MB!!! Appreciated on both counts. 

she was addicted to Jenningses

I think this is true 100% Magnus!

At least they were good for something Uncle Rog!!


...Tom said he was better in bed, but she needed some more empirical data to confirm this, and that she had opening in her schedule on Friday night he could fill.

Thanks Trooper and Magnus! Hope y'all are doing well.
