Here are some of the loving memories of Farrah's co-stars had to say.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
-- Ryan O'Neal, Farrah's longtime partner
"There are no words to express the deep sense of loss that I feel. For thirty years Farrah was much more than a friend, she was my sister, and although I will miss her terribly I know in my heart that she will always be there as that angel on the shoulder of everyone who loved her."
-- Alana Stewart
"I will miss Farrah everyday. She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness and was an inspiration to those around her. When I think of Farrah, I will remember her kindness, her cutting dry wit and of course her beautiful smile. Today when you think of Farrah, remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered ... smiling."
-- Kate Jackson
"Farrah had courage, she had strength, and she had faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real angels."
-- Jaclyn Smith, "Charlie's Angels" co-star
"I'm terribly sad about Farrah's passing. She was incredibly brave, and God will be welcoming her with open arms."
-- Cheryl Ladd, "Charlie's Angels" co-star
"Though I did not know her well, Farrah left an indelible mark on me and the public during her one year reign on 'Charlie's Angels.' She put up a gallant fight against her unforgiving disease and I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to her family and friends."
-- John Forsythe, "Charlie's Angels" co-star
"She was an angel on earth and now an angel forever."
-- Lee Majors, Farrah's first husband
I am truly heartbroken of Farrah's passing. She was an inspiration to all women; an icon in her own right. She brought so much joy to millions and there are no words how much she will be missed.
--Tatum O'Neal
"Farrah had an outstanding talent, better than most feature-film actresses that I've seen. She was great to work with and will be missed."
-- Robert Duvall, Farrah's "The Apostle" director and co-star
"GOD bless Miss Fawcett. What a beautiful woman. She will be admired forever."
-- Miley Cyrus
"Farrah was more than a beautiful star. She shared the most intimate part of living with the world even as she approached the end of her own life. Graceful in life and graceful as she neared the end, I found working with her to be one of the nicest experiences I've ever had in film. God bless Ryan and their son and other members of the family."
--Chevy Chase
"Farrah was an inspiration to all and had the most amazing spirit. She was one of the kindest, sweetest, and funniest women I've had the privilege of knowing and I'm proud to have called her a friend. Her smile will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with her family."
--Tori Spelling
"R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett. You will be missed. And if you see Mr. Spelling in your new journey, tell him I miss him."
-- Alyssa Milano
"So sad to hear about the passing of beautiful Farrah. She & I were nominated for Golden Globes together. Gracious and lovely inside and out," she noted. "My thoughts and prayers to Farrah's dear Ryan her son and family. She was beautiful AND strong. She fought hard battle and showed dignity."
--Marlee Matlin
"What a wonderful, beautiful woman inside & out. Kind as can be, an amazing fighter who always kept hope in her heart. We can all learn a lot from her tremendous will to keep on fighting. God Bless You Farrah & may she finally rest in peace."
--Paula Abdul
"Goodbye Farrah!!! Like a kazillion other guys I once loved you!!! Sleep well. The battle is over."
--Shooter Jennings
"Farewell Farrah. Forever you will be an angel here on earth, and now in heaven. We'll miss u."
--Adam Shankman

Most definately. You gotta know that all the people that she has worked with in her 20 + career are saddened by her passing. I can remember Lindsay Wagner saying that back in the late 70's they had put her and Farrah's heads on bodies that weren't theres just so that they cover would look hotter. I'm glad that she, Jaclyn & Kate were able to reunite a couple times such as the Emmy's for a tribute for Aaron Spelling & then there was a People magazine shoot.

Here's some more information.

Fittingly, friends and family are going to pay their final respects to Farrah Fawcett at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. A private funeral for actress Farrah Fawcett will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, according to the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The service will be closed to the public and media. An exclusive memorial will also be held Tuesday at the oceanside Jonathan Club in Santa Monica.

Fawcett, 62, died at St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica at 9:28 a.m. Thursday morning with Ryan O'Neal and her friend Alana Stewart by her side. O'Neal told reporters waiting outside the hospital this morning only that "she's gone."

O'Neal later released this statement:
"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

The couple's son, Redmond O'Neal, learned of his mother's death while serving time in the L.A. County jail. Officials sent a grief counselor accompanied by a Sheriff's deputy to help him deal with the loss, according to L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

"He's doing well considering the circumstances," Whitmore said. O'Neal will be allowed to go to him mother's funeral, he added. A similar court-approved visit was allowed when Fawcett fell ill in April.

Fawcett's death brings an end to a 3 year battle with anal cancer which later spread to her liver.

""I do not want to die of this disease. So I say to God, 'It is seriously time for a miracle,"' she said at one point.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations to support cancer research be made to:

The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, P.O. Box 6478, Beverly Hills, Calif., 90212. If you can give something, do so and if not, send a card with you condolences. I'm sure that the family will be grateful.

Even though she made no appearances in season 5, I think it would be nice that they do a special tribute to Farrah and David when and if they release season 5 on DVD. For some that don't know, David Doyle passed away in 1997 from a heart attack.
