We'll never forget you, Sarah Jane Smith

Elisabeth Sladen died today. It was shocking, at least to me, considering she was only 63. She had cancer, which I wasn't even aware of, but it must have been a recent thing because she was still working on her show "The Sarah Jane Adventures." To all "Doctor Who" fans, Sladen was Sarah Jane Smith, one of the most popular companions in the show's history. I never watched old "Who," so I don't have the deep emotional attachment to her that other fans do, but I grew to love her when she appeared in the new series. Even without ever knowing her before, the episode "School Reunion" was special because of her relationship with the Doctor. We'll never forget you, Sarah Jane Smith. But even more so, we'll never forget you, Elisabeth Sladen. Rest in peace.
