Farrah's longtime friend

Hollyscoop, “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.”
Farrah Fawcett is survived by her son with Ryan O’Neal, Redmond, and her father James. In lieu of flowers the family has asked that donations to support cancer research be made to:
