But it feels as it just happened to me. I was in Iraq while Mrs. Roddenberry passed. And just found out today. I was 5 years old the first time I watched her on screen for the first time. ..long before the internet and search engine's..lol Let's just say before portabale hair dryer's...ouch! I never considered myself a trekie or treker....but the show meant a lot to me. And it is sad to see the ones who gave birth to this leave us. They have no idea what they have contributed to the human race. Though it is SiFi it has give birth to many scientist that have asked questions that would not have been asked if it were not were for Star Trek. They say Trekies are crazy and should get a life. Ok...to a point I see that. But We as a people need to know that we have to be a part of something bigger than just us. Or it's a whole lot of empty space for nothing!!! To Majel...tell Gene hi and we still love him! Darren (A fan since 1971) I know this comes late. But it feels as it just happened to me. I was in Iraq while Mrs. Roddenberry passed.

I was sadden though when Entertainment Tonight had their tribute for those who had passed away Majel was not part of that. I thought that was a major slap in the face to all us Star Trek fans. We the fans will never forget you. I truly will miss her and when I met her she was awesome.

We chatted for my, then cable access TV show Cosmic Visions, and I taped the interview which went about 20 minutes. I am now writing for Autograph Magazine, and doing a tribute to her in my column, and it should hit stands in approx. March 2009. She was very fun and upbeat, and I am honored and thrilled to have sat to chat with her then! She always rememebered me and said hello at the conventions years after our interview! Rest In Peace.

From America's poet, Walt Whitman, his poem: "O Me! O Life! " "That you are here ---- that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." Thank you, Majel, for contributing such a beautiful and wonderful verse! No better words can sum up what both Gene and Majel contributed to the world….

“That you are here —- that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”

Thank you, Majel, for contributing such a beautiful and wonderful verse!

The scanned photos of Majel deeply move me, thank you for taking the time to scan the memorial program at a high DPI. It means a lot, believe me. For fans who couldn't make it in person due to financial reasons but feel the loss nonetheless, this coverage is the highest conception of duty.

Wow, that's some noteworthy "tidbit"! I hadn't read any reports on Aldrin attending. It's wonderful to have someone at the ceremony who has actually seen the final frontier. 100 Paula: “One additional tidbit: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin was at the luncheon and also took the mic to talk about both Majel and Gene.”
