A Beautiful Star

[VulcanGirl]

I am heartbroken to hear of the loss of such a beautiful and loving woman. I cried when I heard the news. Though I didn't know her in person, I knew who she was and what she stood for. The Universe was and is lucky to have had her. I met her and Rod at the last Vegas Convention and was lucky enough to shake her hand. I remember just staring at the two of them when I was standing in line for the photo op. When it was my turn, I was so nervous, but I walked right up to her, shook her hand and told her how honored I was to meet her and how amazing she looked. She smiled at me and said Thank you very much. I'll never forget such a wonderful experience.

I know what you mean. I honestly haven't cried often at the death of someone that I did not know personally. I did when Johnny Cash died (one of my few personal heroes) and I did when John Ritter died (mainly I think because it was so unexpected and really tragic) and today upon reading of Majel's passing. I wish I had gotten to see her at a convention. I know in interviews or performances she always seemed full of life and joy.

I haven't cried at the passing of someone I didn't know personally since Jerry Garcia and Arthor C. Clarke passed. I was devistated when they passed. Now Majel....she was such an amazing person.
I have lost people that have meant so much to me in my life that death seems to be around all the time and you begin to wonder if you shouldn't just invite him to dinner. The biggest loss I had was my brother Jonny. I was 14 when he died....he was only 17. He had a rare form of cancer (the tumor the size of a cantaloupe in the inner side of his leg. It was so hard to just watch him slowly deteriorate. I was so tired of having to drive an hour to the hospital he was at almost every day after school. I had to see all those little cancer kids all the time.....it was so heartbreaking. Cancer is a horrible, horrible thing. But through all of that, it gave me an idea to grow my hair out and donate it to Locks of Love. I've done that 3 times so far and am almost ready to do it again. I may not have the money, but I do have the hair.

I too met Majel at a con. She was so down-to-earth and friendly. We discussed ST in it's various forms and she seemed very interested in what I had to say. I will miss her in future ST endeavors. I also have several pieces of ST jewelry that she designed. I have been trying to purchase more, but it appears there was only one release of it.
