Stunned.
That’s how I felt this morning when I read that Glee star Cory Monteith had passed away at the age of 31. Monteith, who had struggled with addiction, had just been released from rehab recently. He was found dead in a hotel in Canada.
The first time I saw Cory on screen, he was starring in MTV’s short lived Kaya. Even then, he was rocking the drums, as he would later do as Finn Hudson on Glee. He came into so many peoples lives through Finn. He will be missed.
“I HAVE NO WORDS! MY HEART IS BROKEN CORY WAS NOT ONLY A HELL OF A FRIEND HE WAS ONE AMAZING MEN THAT I WILL HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART FOREVER. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE WORKED WITH HIM AND LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
