R.I.P. Sarah Jane/Elisabeth Sladen

I found out today that the actress who played Sarah Jane, one of the greatest Doctor Who companions ever, died earlier from cancer. Elisabeth Sladen was my first ever nerd crush and I have wonderful memories over her dating back over 25 years. She was my first Doctor companion I ever saw. I'm heartbroken. At times like this, I find myself wishing I believed in something substantial after this life. I hate thinking of her basically just blinking out. But she will be remembered by many. I will miss you, Sarah Jane, I will miss you and your nutty adventures with all manner of nasty alien beings. You brought me great joy as a child and now great sorrow as an adult. It was all worth it, though. You are cherished in my memories.
