We were He-Man and She-Ra. To have 'my brother' pass on is a tremendous sorrow even though I know life is not infinite. The tears I have are because John was such a special, Quiet man and we shared a very special relationship in those roles as twin brother and sister. Your body of work will live in the hearts of so many people to whom you gave love and strength and hope and laughter in times of difficulty and the need to be calmed by laughter and hope. Working with you gave me strength and hope... and caring as well. I remember the working times when I felt I could stand on your shoulders when I was going through a difficult day. Times when you reminded me of who I was portraying... your twin, She-Ra, the most powerful woman in the world. There were wonderful moments with all our fellow actors. Times of good work, times of sincere caring, and time of joyous laughter. Now that you are gone and I cannot say hello anymore, my heart aches, and know you lived your life the way you wanted to live it. I'm glad I have a few lines of your voice messages to me to listen to, and as well, watch as you portrayed He-Man and said 'I have the power!' You did and still do. The joy and camaraderie you gave to me will keep giving me the strength you always wanted me to share.\n\nAfter all, we were twins...
