FAREWELL FARRAHBy Uncle Monty
***
While your sad death was overshadowed by Michael
Jackson's on the same day as your’s, I remember you
well from the Charlie’s Angels TV series in America.
Your private, low-keyed, funeral of yesterday at the
Hispanic-styled and ultramodernistic Roman Catholic
Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels at Los Angeles
- El Pueblo de Nuestra Seňora de los Angeles -
was no less poignant than if the whole town
of LA had publicly attended.
***
Your Texas beauty, your audacious smile, your
Your Texas beauty, your audacious smile, your
glamorous presence, and your seductive acting on
Charlie’s Angels, still shines in my happy mind of
you, Farrah. While we were never to set eyes
upon each other in person, I most certainly did of
you via the broad media of American television.
***
What I saw of you I liked and the more I saw of you
the more I liked. Your final earthly days were tough
with dreadful cancer that was to claim your life, but
not your inimitable worth. While some in the world
clamour to openly mourn the King of Pop, I quietly
mourn the angel that was you.
***
For those who fondly remember you, my dear,
For those who fondly remember you, my dear,
like me, we now simply say “Farewell Farrah."

This little piece of "Farewell Farrah" is my own little
personal tribute to Farrah herself, who was undoubtedly
one of my most favourite TV stars back more than
35 years ago in America. And for many years,

later too. Her passing so saddens me so ...
