I read about this yesterday, but couldn't think of anything to say. In a way, I still can't. The woman exuded class, spirit, and intelligence--in real life, though she played a character with all those traits too. She was the kind of person who deserves to be mourned by millions, and she will be.

Two of his companions have joined the Third Doctor.
(Yes, I'm counting the Brigadier, he was far too important a part of the show to skip him.) -

I never was a big DW fan, but I've seen a few episodes of both series, so I know "Sarah Jane". I don't know much about Elizabeth Sladen, though, so I'll step back a bit and let the fans/friends/family grieve. Sorry for your loss, everyone.

After hearing it on Twitter last night, I woke up and thought it was all a bad dream.
Farewell Sarah Jane. Thank you for being the character who really got me watching Doctor Who. You will be sorely missed. -

I just got a copy of a Doctor Who Magazine special in the mail - The Sarah Jane Adventures companion. I think I might cry.
