Lea Michele’s Touching Dedication To Cory

Lea Michele, Glee


With soulful eyes and a wistful smile, Lea Michele walked up to the stage to accept her 2013 Teen Choice award for Choice TV Actress in a comedy. The Glee star was radiant in a two toned pink ensemble, her first public appearance since the tragedic death of co-star and fiancé Cory Monteith.

“Thank you guys. Thank you. “ she gushes emotionally,”I just wanted to be here today to personally thank all of you and tell everyone out there how much all of your love and support has meant to me over these past few difficult weeks. Thank you.”

Casually touching her ‘Cory’ nameplate necklace, Lea continued,”Not that I had doubts before, but you guys are certainly the greatest fans in the world, and I want to dedicate this award to Cory. For all of you who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I promise that with your love, we are going to get through this together.”

Michele was a picture of elegance as she continued with her speech despite the barrage of tears. She maintained her composure and simply ended with, "He was very special to me and also to the world and we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile, and his beautiful, beautiful heart. So whether you knew him personally or just as Finn Hudson, Cory reached out and became a part of all of our hearts and that's where he'll stay forever. So thank you guys so much. Thank you."

With her onstage were Glee stars Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz and Amber Riley. Award presenter Lily Collins also enveloped Michele in a warm, reassuring hug.

With this news, let me just address a short missive to Lea: our hearts are still with you as you go through this difficult time. Be assured that Cory will not be forgotten and that he will forever remain a star, shining brightly in the firmament of the lives of those he touched.
