I grew up watching Are You Being Served? every weekend on PBS and every time I hear that one of the stars of the show is terminally ill or has passed I almost feel like I am losing a family member. I cried when John Inman died 2 years ago and when Wendy Richards passes I will probably cry again. Thanks for the laughs, Wendy, and I hope you are able to spend the rest of your life surrounded by love and happiness.
