A sudden death took Ophelia from me. I want to thank all the judges who thought so highly of her and made her show career so successful. Above all I want to thank the friends all over the world who loved her and were loved by her. Ophelia was a rare combination of sense and sensibility. People who knew her kind, smart, unique eyes, know what I mean and I feel sure they will keep an everlasting memory of her as much as I will.

Hold on honey, there's a new dawn coming.
