It is with great sadness that I heard from the Roddenberry family that Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away yesterday morning. I had the great privilege of sitting almost right next to her at the Roddenberry booth in Las Vegas at the big Star Trek convention this past August. A truly sweet and wonderful lady. Emphasis on “lady.” First Lady of Star Trek… is truly accurate.
My most heartfelt condolences to my friend Rod, Majel’s son, and all the rest of the extended Roddenberry family, which, to me, includes all of us Trekkies.
As most of you know, I create 2 webcomics, among other things, for Roddenberry Productions, so this is especially sad, and I am especially thankful to be part of this family.

May you find peace out there among the stars, Mrs. Roddenberry.
