Various Twilight Saga Actors Saddened Over Brittany Murphy’s Untimely Death

by LMCullen on December 21, 2009 · Comments

in Charlie Bewley, Dakota Fanning, Peter Facinelli

The world became a little less brighter yesterday when we learned sadly that actress Brittany Murphy passed away at the young age of 32. For those of you who may not know who she is, she starred in various movies such as: Clueless, 8 Mile, Just Married (one of my all time fav movies), Riding in Cars With Boys, Up Town Girls, the list goes on!

Various Twilight Saga stars spoke out about the sudden death of Brittany via twitter -

New Moon-er Dakota Fanning (aka Jane) also spoke out about her Uptown Girls fellow cast member’s death -

My thoughts go out to her family & friends. I am just very grateful that I had the chance to work with her.

I truly thought Brittany was a great actress and enjoyed every movie she was ever in. Such sad news! The cause if death has yet to be determined. Various theories are out there via Gossip Rags. However, I choose not to believe anything until the Coroner’s office makes their official statement.

Today the world lost a little piece of sunshine ~ Ashton Kutcher

RIP Brittany Murphy – November 10, 1977 – December 20th, 2009.

    man I'm gonna effing cry again. I cried yesterday when I found out. I loved her. One of my favorite actresses. From Clueless through Girl, Interrupted to Uptown Girls and Just Married. So talented and amazing! The world did indeed lose a piece of sunshine. I just can not believe she is gone so suddenly and so young. Barely older than me and her work touched on so many relatable characters. Beautiful life. You will be dearly missed, Brittany. Rest in peace, angel.

    So sad :(

    Fay: Okay, pretend that I'm your parents, say what your gonna say.
    Beverly: Okay, Mom, Pop?
    Fay: Yeah?
    Beverly: I don't know how to say this...
    Fay: But...
    Beverly: I'm pregnant.
    Fay: My daughter's a tramp! My daughter's a tramp! You're 15 years old, how could you do this to me? Why don't you just take my gun. Take my gun and shoot me in the head with it tramp! I wish that you were never born! How was that?

    Britney play Fay Forrester in Riding in Cars with Boys and this is one of my favourite scene from that movie. Sorry about the last line for the younguns, it was said sarcastically, and to make a point about how silly Bev and Fay were about their parents. The movie was PG-13 as well....

    *sigh* love that movie...
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    such a good movie. I love Brittany. So sad

    This is incredibly depressing news. I was on twitter yesterday when someone RT TMZ's "Breaking News" I'm always wary of their reporting skills so I refused to believe it.

    I kept waiting for Yahoo or CNN to say something and it seemed an eternity before they did. Needless to say it's still unnerving that a 32 year old woman could die from "natural causes" I won't believe that until the toxic reports come in.

    Anyway, I was a fan of hers since Clueless. I like all her movies especially Just Married.

    I feel like watching all her movies back to back as a tribute to her. :(
  • I just read that Brittany Murphy's family said she had a flu-like illness for a few days before her death. Very sad.
  • TheHoneyBear
    So I'm gonna pose a question.
    How, where, and when did you guys know about her passing away?

    I was in the freeway and stuck in traffic and I was... tweeting.
    Yes, I was tweeting.
    And I just knew it from Twitter... I was just in shock. Like the first thing I saw was "RIP Brittany Murphy". I was just wtf the whole time...
    I know...
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    I went on ew.com to check the box office and saw the article.

    Freaking sad. :(
  • Chel*Team Vets*
    Found out yesterday i got a text from my friend telling me to turn on the News i thought it was a joke until the headlines flashed on the screen.
    It's so heartbraking such was such a bubbly loving person
  • McVampy - TEAM BLACK V-NECK
    i turned on the tv ready to eat some breakfast and let my computer load and at the same time i logged into twitter and saw the most talked about topics, they had it on the tv news break.
    just SHOCKING!!

    RIP brittany murphy!
  • TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy
    I heard on here, yesterday. CF told me. I didn't believe her at first so i googled it but yeh. I was shocked, so i decided to boradcast it on Fbook. I was gutted.

    I had a WTF face as well.
  • TheHoneyBear
    Brittany Murphy.
    RIP.
    You will be missed. My thoughts are with your friends and family.

    I love Uptown Girls. Brittany and Dakota were adorable in that movie...
    Makes me nostalgic.
  • TayRobLovin
    Uptown Girls was the first PG-13 movie i ever saw :'(
    and what a great movie it was.
    you will be missed, brittany.. rest in peace.
  • PhoenixMP3 The One & Only
    so sad :(
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    Allow me to elaborate on my previous comment. What I meant by "underlying" reason is that she did not just fall over dead of old age or that her body just failed. There had to be an underlying reason, such as a preexisting condition or possibly maybe the rumored tabloid anorexia/drug thing. Her mom did say something about diabetes.

    It was just my opinioin, I did not mean to step on people's toes, and I agree that we do not know anything for sure until the toxicology and the results of the autopsy come back.

    It's not like I don't respond to unattended deaths on a daily basis. So I do know what I am talking about to a certain extent. I was not speaking just out of my head on a topic that I know nothing about.

    But I do apologize if I offended anyone.
  • TIME -- #TNV to the rescue!
    thats not offensive. at all.

    this incident should teach kids to NOT DO DRUGS and recognize eating disorders.

    *gets off soap box before sh*t is thrown at me*

    people can say all they want about not jumping to conclusions yadda yadda. i see too many people in my profession die from stupid things like this. the last time i saw someone that young die from diabetes or the flu was, well... NEVER.
  • TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy
    Oh, i read your comment and i have no idea how that could have offended someone.

    She looked so healthy and so fit and beautiful that it just doesn't seem right for her to just die, like this. So she had to have had something. Something must have happened.

    But you payed your respect, so there should really be no need to apologise.
  • gangsta paigy19
    i agree.
  • Oh Kay. As usual, out of the loop but even if you're not a cop, you would know that she died of unnatural causes, even if it's a disease, that's still unnatural to me because she was taken away from us too soon.

    And if it wasn't, if it was drugs, this whole situation is an incredibly sad one because it meant that she had been feeling down for a long time. So whatever the reason is, it's sad.

    And so condolences to her family and we will all thank God that she graced us with her talent and her spirit.

    Definitely, "not sporadically." :)
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    Awwww .. did you have to do the "not sporadically" line. Geez. Now I feel like crying. :(
  • I know. :(

    But I'm grateful that we got to witness her in that role at all, ya know? We were blessed to see her play such a funny, real, clueless character like Tai.
  • gangsta paigy19
    I know what you mean. Something must have happened.

    Awww OMG i am sooo shocked that she died!!! Shes soo young! I remember her from uptown girls with Dakota!! ;S

  • TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy
    It just makes me apprichate my life so much more. Plus the fact that i will be living it to the max.

    There are too many deaths in this world that simply shouldn't be happening. But thats life. And that stinks.

    But i give all my love and my thoughts to every person Brittany has loved. She marvelled me in 8 mile. She was an actress that simply had so much more to give.

    *sob* RIP.
  • Chel*Team Vets*
    RIP Brittany Murphy: you were one of the good ones, so multi talented you could sing, act and were such a wonderful person,
    My heart goes out to all of her family and friends

    To quote Ashton K : Today the world lost a little piece of sunshine

    *sniff does arm moves* Rollin With the Homies *sniff sniff*
  • TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy
    The Ashton K quote reminds me of the song "a pocketful of sunshine" covered by Boyce Avenue.

    Kind of know reminds me of Brittany. I love that song.
  • Chel*Team Vets*
    I'm listening to the song right now *tear* i love the song its so beautiful and from now on it'll always remind me of her :(
  • gangsta paigy19
    geez . . . I couldn't beleive this when I heard it yesterday. Her poor mother found her . . . That should never happen. It's so sad. It's not right. It's so nice they all wrote something about her. The cast is so kind and nice and loving and caring and we're so lucky to have what we have 'cause some people don't. :( Too sad. Too sad.
  • Kim
    This is really sad. She was too young to die.
  • MissN.Gravety.Magnet.Satellite
    Will always remember her from an outstanding job in 8 Mile and with the extraordinary voice in Happy Feet. . Still chocked about it. . I hope you rest in peace you beautiful lady .. You left something this world will remember you by .. Beautiful thoughts from Peter and the others.. <3
  • Guest
    Brittany, I didn't watch you in many films; but will always remember you as the quirky girl in Clueless. My deepest thoughts. It's quite ironic what happened to her, a close family member of mine passed away on the 20th as well from cardiac arrest this month. RIP SD<3 "You will never be forgotten."
  • x__mysterygirl
    :( I'm really sad she passed away. I loved her, she was so adorable. I loved her in Girl Interrupted, Clueless, and Just Married..a few of my favorite movies that she was in. =[
  • off topic -- your avi ROCKS!
  • sagrario
    She´s the one that has lost at the end...family will cope with it the best they can but lives will continue and they will make their best to survive, even her husband but she...she just lost everything, moments, present and future moments she won´t enjoy them and won´t have them anymore...so sorry...
    This year is incredible really, so many people needed up there?...
  • Bellas<3SpiderFlippy -TeamJune
    RIP Brittany

    I hope her family will find some kind of peace, especially in this holiday season..
    I knew her from some movies that were really good, but I wasn't really following her or anything.. Still, she was a great and funny actress and I do believe that she touched the harts of many..

  • Crimson&Clover(Nida)
    RIP BRITTANY MURPHY
    I will always remember her smiling, she was so cute and funny so adorable and always smiling in her interviews.
  • bookobsessed
    She had such a beautiful voice too. I have her on my ipod.
  • I just have to say this and get it off of my chest because it's been bothering me a lot.

    Yes..it is VERY rare for someone her age to die from natural causes. However...it DOES and CAN happen. Am I saying that's what it was....no..but for people to say that it doesn't happen, they are very wrong.

    Was it more? Perhaps...I don't know..but I just want to go on the record as saying that things can happen to ANYONE at ANY age.
  • TeamSwitzcob (TRotation/Meg)
    I agree. It's scary, though and really makes people take a step back being that she was so young.

    There was just an article in our paper.. a 55 yr old man had a major heart attack and was fit and healthy, never smoked, drank. He very nearly died, but he was at work and his co-workers revived him; they had the equipment to get his heart started again and had the training.

    Made me very sad reading that and seeing the thing about Brittany online.. especially because I was an idiot last night and overindulged to the point of getting sick. No more of that for me! Though I had decided before I read it that I wouldn't. ::sigh::
  • I agree with you. Its just hard to swallow. Hearing a 32 year old dying of natural causes, more so scary then anything : (
  • bookobsessed
    Yes it can and does happen but usually with a person this young it is related to a congenital abnormality at birth. If that was the case it can explain why she was so thin. It seems unlikely however as most people with heart conditions get medical care as soon as they are sick to prevent it from becoming dangerous. Of course it could also have been a pretty virulent infection. In the long run its just plain tragic. And I really wish they would throw the term "natural causes" out the window. Yes we all die someday but it always has specific cause. They are just using this because the cause is unknown.
  • And I understand that...that there are possibly other underlying conditions, but I've seen a few comments today and yesterday saying how someone that young doesn't just die. Death knows no age.
  • bookobsessed
    *sigh* you are right of course. Death knows no age. ...Crap now I need a hug.
  • Awww....*grabs bookobsessed and hugs tightly, so thankful for the wonderful people on this site*
  • bookobsessed
    *sniffles* Thanks Jake. I needed that. I think you're special to. *kisses cheek*...I'm gonna go hug my kids now.
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes. I apologize.
  • when i read she died,my mouth literally dropped open.
    it's so sad..i always remembered her smiling all the time. she was so bubbly.
    it's crazy. it just shows how quick someone can be gone from your life.
  • Marti (Team The Runaways)
    I can't believe she's gone! :(
    I loved her so much.
  • yesterday when i got the news about Brittany i saw someone write that brittany murphy died on twitter and i didn't believe it at first...i can still hardly believe it now

    its always sad to hear about someone so young dying and only 5 days b4 christmas
  • ocdrox prowling since 2/09
    my older sis, came in the living room yesterday with the news... she was teary eyed :(

    RIP BRITTANY MURPHY
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    There may not be any obvious signs of trauma or foul play, but a 32 year old doesn't just die from natural causes.

    I wonder if the rumors of anoxeria caused her heart problems? There had to be some underlying reason for the death.
  • ocdrox prowling since 2/09
    they say it was a cardiac arrest. but who knows? i do agree with u tht it was deffintly not natural causes.
  • Daddy_C_4ME
    It's very shocking. She was WAY too young. All I'm going to say, is that IF (**BIG IF***) it was complications from anorexia, then I hope they release the statement saying it was. I don't think young women really understand what they're doing to themselves when they're starving themselves to be thin. Love your body for what it is and treat it well.
  • if it was frm anorexia that would definitely be a BIG wake up call for everyone...including the people in hollywood who think they need to be so skinny
  • rumor has it it was H1N1.....but we shall see
  • ilovevampires
    we love you :'(
    ....I wish her family and friends the best....
  • Irishgirl
    FYI....it's 'Riding in Cars With Boys'

    I think 'Clueless' and 'Girl Interrupted' are my favorites of hers. "Girl Interrupted' was just so sad and haunting.

    Sweet song & video from Uptown Girls. "Every story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new beginning."
  • SC~3rd_Wife(TeamSM)
    Thanks, now I need to get my hands on that movie. I was trying to figure out who the guitarist was, then I realized it's Dr. Chase from House (Jesse Spencer). He's hot with brown hair!!

    Sorry, did that seem out of place and insensitive? Brittany was a beautiful person and too young to die. She will be missed.

    She was good in Girl, Interrupted.
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!

  • Snowy 05/09 Remember Rob!
    *sigh* I know, she was just awesome. I just about fell out of my chair when I read that she died...
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    I did. I fell on the floor. I can't believe it.
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    She was always one of those actresses that flew under the radar that I always liked. She went for the gritty roles. I hate this happened to her.
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    me too. one of my favorites
  • Hitchy
    hit the nail on the head about her (as usual) CF. She was very diverse in her roles too. Although most of her characters were not overly intelligent, their personalities and personal situations were very different.
  • Snowy 05/09 Remember Rob!
    I agree... and I hate that the tabloids are already speculating and making things up about how she died... have they NO respect? grrr.... :(



    OK, off home now - it's been snowing again, should be a fun bus ride!
  • Don't Say a Word was awesome. I really respected her as an actress for that roll.

    I think you probably know this about me but I'm not easily impressed.
  • Hitchy
    you know H2B I thought she was great too. Have you read The Host? When Stephenie posted that we should leave suggestions for cast members on-line I suggested Britney Murphy for Melanie/Wanderer. She was really underrated. I hope we won't find out any more "bad news" about her untimely death.

    RIP Britney Murphy.
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    Very good film.

    That is a good trait to have.

    Maybe Kristen will grow on you some day. :)
  • Jaypat
    *wiggles index finger*
    "I'll never tell...."
    from Don't Say A Word. (just in case people didn't know what I was talking about)

    She was a great actress.

    Truly, she was one of a kind, definitely did not get enough recognition.
  • girl interrupted is one of my fav movies w/ her in it. and clueless. i feel the need to watch clueless again jus to remember her
  • SC~3rd_Wife(TeamSM)
    Mine, too (Girl, Interrupted)!

    'My dad's going to get me an apartment and it will have an eat-in chicken'

    That's the only movie I have with her in it. Now I want to go buy Clueless - she was great in that, too.

    Poor Brittany, she was too young :(
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    agreed. Girl Interrupted and Clueless - she was amazing in both. So talented. :(
  • Wolfi ♥(TEAM LEAH &TOMBAH)
    loved her..she was soo adorable and cute!..when you look at her you just want to smile and pinch her cheeks!!..
    loved..just married soo funny!..
    may she rest in peace..::(
  • so sad...RIP :(
  • bookobsessed
    So I read online she had a cardiac arrest and there are rumors of anorexia. I remember how painfully thin Kristen, Ashley, and Penelope Cruz looked live on Regis & Kelly. I even mentioned to Angelica that they were way way too thin. If this is the case I really hope that Hollywood wakes the F'up and lets these poor girls eat.
  • Irishgirl
    Kristen and Ashley are thin, but nothing like Brittany was. There are pictures of her from a red carpet event from about three weeks ago.....around Dec 3rd....and you can really see how thin she was. And she'd been thinner than that. When you can see the bones in their upper arms, and the joints are more prominent than the rest of the arm, that's painfully thin.

    Murphy had said in interviews over the years that she didn't have an eating problem and that she was the same weight as in 'Clueless', which is so visibly not true. But she's allegedly had body image issues for years, and there are also rumors of prescription drug addiction. The latter is rumored to be one of the reasons she was let go from 'The Caller' (Rachelle Lefevre replaced her.)

    Regardless....it's just a terribly sad.
  • bluegoddessgirl
    Apparently she was filming a movie recently and people on set said she was in and out of consiousness during filming. The director of the movie Abandoned said Brittany looked ill and underweight. I think she should have taken some time off if she was feeling sick, because going to work probably only made it worse. She was going from project to project without a break inbetween films.
  • i had no idea rachelle replaced her in a movie. wow
  • Irishgirl
    Interesting.......two of my comments are missing. One says "comment removed" and one has completely disappeared.

    What in the world?
  • bookobsessed
    Hey your comment is back.
  • Irishgirl
    Hey hey.....look at that. Both are back! That was weird.

    Cute cat btw! :-)
  • Irishgirl
    Yep.....it's currently filming in Puerto Rico with Stephen Moyer. Murphy had been there for a week or two in November, and was let go for alleged erratic behavior from her and her husband on set. (This is what prompted that skit on SNL from a couple weeks ago which has been yanked now.)
  • bookobsessed
    WTH is happening to your comments today? LOL. Do you have a poltergeist problem? Now the one up top has disapeared again.
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    I've seen recent photos of Kristen and Ashley and they looked pretty healthy to me. Especially Kristen, she actually looked like she gained some weight.
  • I'm Addicted. Get Over It.
    Kristen gained weight because she is pregnant AGAIN. Didn't you read OK! Magazine this week? Geez. LOL I think it's triplets this time around. The little fatty.

    Bahaha. I crack myself up.

    And I agree with you other comment about not having to worry about Kristen and an eating disorder. Geez I freaking love her. I think she just looks healthy at the weight she's at now. Oh and I agree about the no more smoking thing. Just want all our favorite stars to be healthy...
  • bookobsessed
    I hope she did gain some weight and its not just the pictures. When she got up on the chair I swear a breeze could have blown her over. The shoes looked like they weighed more than her. The only one skinnier on that set was Kelly Ripa. She also needs to eat. Ashley looked the healthiest and she could use a little extra weight.
  • CF Mullet Mofo/Tyler Hawkins
    Yeah, I don't think we have anything to worry about with Kristen. I don't see her as the kind of person to have an eating disorder because she clearly does not give a crap about her appearance. I saw her in those photos leaving her mom's house and she looked like she gained about then pounds, which is really good.

    The only thing that concerns me is the smoking. For her and Rob. It's just an unhealthy habit.
  • bookobsessed
    UGH!!! You're right there. They both need to quit the ciggies. That habit will kill you.
  • EverySingleDayOfForever
    What a talented girl! How devestating for her family. Somehow just before Christmas seems to make it worse. Heaven just received a bright spirit and some great comic relief!

    Loved her in Uptown Girls with Dakota & Little Black Book was a great one too.
  • MissN.Gravety.Magnet.Satellite
    owh, tears in my eyes.. Guess that says it all.
  • cutesweetiezzz
    This is such sad news, especially when it's suppose to be the time for family and friends. I hope her family and friends are doing okay. I wish them nothing, but the best.

    I'm not sure how to react to this because it was so unexpected.
  • SarahCullen - TeamKeepthePeace
    I was unbelieveably saddened when I heard the news. She was one of my favorite actresses, and she was so talented. Terrible tragedy.
  • bookobsessed
    Way way to young. She was just a baby for pete's sake. My prayers go out to her family and loved ones. How awful.
  • Sic - TylerBomb
    she always looked beautiful. great actress.
  • I Can't Believe She Is Dead
    She's An AMAZING Actress; Just Married Is One Of My all Times Favs Too
  • SwedishLore15
    She looked very unhealthy during her last interviews a month or so ago. I'm sorry to see her pass on, but could her untimely death possibly be due to drugs or anorexia? She looked very, very thin.
  • Sic - TylerBomb
    nevermind, read something wrong.
  • whenever i saw her i always thought she had some kind of eating disorder. i think someone was saying that she had struggled w/ some time ago but i wonder if she still had it.
  • lutz_of_love
    She was pretty much always been very thin. Im with LM I will not make any asumptions until the corenors report.
  • SwedishLore15
    Hmm, I suppose. She just looked unusually gaunt around a month ago, and I don't recall seeing her so thin. I don't think that a young woman dies at 32 from "natural causes", so I'm curious to see if any drug/health issues played a role in her passing.
  • We all will find out the final cause of death in a few weeks once the coroner release their findings. Until then, we should send our prayers to her family.
  • lutz_of_love
    I hope not she was a very beautiful girl and I would hate to think she would end her life by taking drugs.
  • Jaypat
    :( Loved her.

    Rolling with the homies.....
  • im not a fan of her but its always sad when a family member, friend, or lover dies :( i pray peace comes to her husband and family and friends. poor dakota too.
  • Shannonsparkles-Teambreakrecs!
    I'll miss her. It does not real. How can she be gone so young? Loved her.

    Oh my heart aches, just knowing that she's gone...

    *sniff*

    She will be remembered for this performance and many other great performances for a long time.......we were truly blessed to have her in our midst!!!

    RIP, Brittany......<3

    I will mourn her passing for awhile. She was a breathe of fresh air in the cruel noncompassionate world that is showbusiness. My favorite movie she was in was Girl Interrupted. Her light will never be extinguished and she will dearly be missed. Fly like a bird Brittany Fly Away!

    I'd like to dedicate Carly Simon's Legend In Your Own Time which is also known as Let The River Run to Brittany Murphy.

    We the great and small
    stand on a star
    and blaze a trail of desire
    through the dark'ning dawn

    Do you know what she died from?
  • The cause of death was cardiac arrest. I saw on Yahoo News earlier today that her family said she was suffering from flu like symptoms. (That is a common sign of meningitis.)

    She has been rumored to having issues with eating disorders and drug usage. Both will tax the heart and cause cardiac arrest. No official word as of yet on either rumor being true.

    Preliminary cause of death should be released by the LA County Coroners office later today or tomorrow but the final cause of death will not come through until a few weeks when the labs come back.

    Yeah, I watch way too much Law and Order. But it does come in hand at times LOL. I know you have a better understanding of this than I.
  • McVampy - TEAM BLACK V-NECK
    im still in shock !!
    its just so sad.
    she seemed to always be so happy and everything, just so sad that she passed away =(

    p.s. =O is that dakota in the picture up there with her ??

    i havent actually seen uptown girls, think i might go hire it today.

    PPS. i find it so sad for those that worked with her and those close to her (eg family and close friends)
    like ashton kutcher, who once dated her, when filming just married.., dakota fanning, etc etc

    so sad =(
  • Snowy 05/09 Remember Rob!
    H2B, darlin', how's the snow? We must have sent it down to you, I just hope it doesn't get as cold as we had... ;)

    Thanks for the further details, you rock! :D
  • bookobsessed
    Thanks H2B, You are right about many possible causes for CA in younger people. I guess we will have to wait and see. In the end its just tragic.
  • *facepalm*

    I just remember another possible cause of death in young people. ASTHMA!

    I don't know why I didn't remember that one. My mom's always b^tching at me about making sure I take my meds. The lack of oxygen causes scaring on the lungs and will also make the heart pump twice as fast to increase the blood flow to compensate for poor oxygen levels!

    I must be more tired than I thought. Shoveling my car out twice in two days sure as heck take it out of a little person like me. But I don’t think that was the cause of death though.
  • bookobsessed
    You're right. Asthma is another possible contributing factor. UGH!! OK now I'm going to go hug my kids.
  • lutz_of_love
    They said full cartiac arrest.
  • bookobsessed
    Thanks luv, By the way I'm really liking your Avi's Christmas spirit. :)
  • lutz_of_love
    Your welcome.

    Thanks I love bringing Christmas joy to other and myself!
