R.I.P. Mary Tamm

[66Crush]

As a lifelong Doctor Who fan, words cannot express how heart broken I am to hear of Mary Tamm's passing at 62 years of age. She played the first Romana from 1978-79 (the Key to Time season). I hate cancer! http://news.drwho-online.co.uk/#Obituary-Mary-Tamm-%281950-2012%29

This has been a bad time for Dr Who companions: first Elisabeth Sladen last year, then Caroline John earlier this year and now Mary Tamm.

It gets worse: Mary's husband of 34 years passed away shortly after delivering the eulogy at her funeral.

Wow, that's terrible. My heart goes out to the family.

+1 for thoughts for Mary Tamm and her family.  She was one of my favourite Dr Who companions, even though she was only there for the Key To Time sequence.  Like Louise Jameson, even as a young child I knew she was beautiful.

RIP to Mary Tamm and to Elisabeth Sladen.
