I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh.
I send my love to her children.
As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold.
I will miss her.
Alley appeared on the series from 1987 to 1993 as Rebecca Howe.
Kirstie was a unique and wonderful person and friend, PerlmantoldPeople.Her joy of being was boundless.
We became friends almost instantly when she joined the cast ofCheers.
She loved kids and my kids loved her too.
We had sleepovers at her house, with treasure hunts that she created.
She wanted everyone to feel included.
