In the words of my role model Spock, her absence will be keenly felt.

My best to you and your family for the coming new year.

Crap! I alway hate to hear of the passing of one of the cast. To me Star Trek in part represents a time in our future of peace on earth, and no poverty. Maybe that is something that will never be accomplished, but I think that it is a good goal to strive for, and hope for. Star Trek to me represents hope.

Merry Christmas & Peace on earth. ;o)

One of my favourite comments that I’ve heard in memory of her was from Wil Wheaton (who played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek:The Next Generation). He said:

“She was a hell of a lady, who loved Star Trek and Star Trek fans like no other.

Some knew her as the original Number One, some knew her as Lwaxana Troi, and everyone knew her as the ship’s computer, but I just knew her as Majel, my friend Rod’s mom, who always treated me like he and I were brothers.

Since we got the news yesterday, a lot of people have asked me if I can tell a story as a way to remember her. I’ve dug around in the attic of my mind for hours, and the best I can do is: We always had fun when we were working on Next Generation, but when Majel was on the set, it was a party.” (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2008/12/a-moment-of-sil.html)

I think that there are worse epitaphs than that.
