This wonderful lady touched so many souls, and will always have a special place in my heart.  The Whoniverse has lost a true legend here, and one it&#8217;s brightest and warmest of stars.  The TARDIS feels so much emptier today.  Goodnight Sarah Jane.  You&#8217;ll be hugely missed.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; Stevie K. Farnaby (AKA SKiFfle) &#8211; Producer \/ Director<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Just like Tom Baker was my first Doctor, Lis Sladen was my first companion. I was fortunate to have met her once at Chicago&#8217;s old Granada Theater in the mid-&#8217;80s and she was a lovely lady. In fact, I won a copy of the TARDIS Technical Manual in a raffle that day and she presented it to me on stage. Young fool that I was, I was so shocked that it never occurred to me to have her autograph it for me. While I&#8217;m sure Jon and Nick will be delighted to be with her again, it&#8217;s particularly sad for me when one of the major cast passes away. It&#8217;s like losing a childhood friend.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; Mark Kalita &#8211; The Doctor<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Sarah Jane was one of my top 2 favorite companions in all of Doctor Who. She was tough and awesome and was an amazing character portrayed by an amazing actress. Ms. Sladen, you will be deeply missed.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n&#8211; Robin Carlisle &#8211; Companion, Amanda Waterfield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctor Who star Elisabeth Sladen, has sadly died of Cancer aged 63.
