Hearing your infectious chuckle was one of my favourite things in the world. To wake up and know that you are really gone is too much to bear. For now I’m sending so much love to you!!! ❤️❤️." – Nadine Coyle "I am absolutely devastated!! I can’t think of words that could possibly express how I feel about this girl & what she means to me!! I know so many of you will be feeling this way. You gave it everything and still with a smile.A white butterfly flew past my window this morning before I knew, it must have been you 🦋." – Nicola Roberts She would have loved your messages today ♥️Electric girl, you made us. A part of me or us isn’t here anymore and it’s unthinkable and painful and utterly cruel. There are so many things to say and at first it felt too personal to put them here and then I remembered that there are so many other people grieving her too. Especially this last year since her diagnosis, as hard as the year has been, our new memories are strong in my heart.
My heart is aching and all day everything we went through together has raced round my mind. "I’m absolutely devastated and I can’t accept that this day has come. She was so grateful and you really lifted her spirits when she needed you most 🙏🏼 I also realize so many will be deeply affected by the circumstances of Sarah’s passing… I am sending you all so much love 💔 I love you Sarah… farewell 🕊" – Cheryl I wanted to make sure you knew just how much your love and continued support meant to Sarah through her most vulnerable times. We were like an extended family for so long and we know so many of you by name. As I try to navigate my way through these painfully strange and horribly unfamiliar waves of disbelief & finality I am experiencing, I wanted to extend my condolences to all of our GA fans. "Although we knew this day would arrive I am somehow still feeling at a loss for words that our stunning, unique, crazy, quirky, kind and soft hearted girl has departed. "Rest in power my beautiful brother." – Laverne Cox "You’ll be missed, brother.A real pleasure to work with you and call you a friend.Strength, mana & love to your family during this very difficult and heartbreaking time. It took me years to learn what Michael had in abundance." – Wendell Pierce He shared with me his secret fears then stepped out into his acting with true courage, acting in the face of fear, not in the absence of it. "If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. What you doubted in life, be certain of now, dear brother. Through your personal interactions big and small, through your community activism, through your struggles, through your triumphs, through your glorious work. Maya Angelou once said, your legacy lives on in every life you touch. In it, you wonder how you’ll be remembered and what your legacy will be. I remember you speaking of mortality, like you did in your post last year about Kobe. I remember the last text you sent me introducing me to your friend ‘Ava’ that you met Day One in your trailer – and me not believing that you kept your start-of-production gift for three whole years. I remember you taking the young actors to the beach on your own and talking to them about things I couldn’t – about being a young, Black man in New York at the time – and how grateful I was. I remember you sending me a picture of yourself as a young man and sharing with me that the boys whose story we were telling were a reflection of you – and we were going to get it right. I remember our work on the work, always connected and communicating and excavating and building because you were so open and ready to give your all. I remember nights out in NYC that summer and how you were so loved by the folks in your city. For just a flash to give some love – then gone. Strolling in like the King that you were. "I remember the times you’d come on set even when you weren’t on the call sheet. Thank you for your wisdom." – Damson Idris His work is already timeless, and it will live on." – Riz Ahmed
He looked out for me in many ways when we worked together. His talent was only matched by the size of his heart – he was incredibly generous. He had a strength and sensitivity that rarely go together, all wrapped up in a style uniquely his own, both on and off set. Michael K Williams gave us some of TV's most iconic characters.
