It's so sad that the world has lost another gifted and talented actor whose presence graced the big screen and television with style and the essence of real lady. There is no doubt that Ms. Rush will be missed by all who knew her personally and professionally.

"Sorrow" is too small a word for what you're going through. There's not a word deep enough or wide enough. Even in times when there are no words, I hope there's comfort in knowing so many people are thinking of you and holding you close in their hearts.

Sincerely,

AJ
