Cory Monteith Emmys In Memoriam Tribute By Jane Lynch (VIDEO)

Jane Lynch reminisced the late Cory Monteith in a special In Memoriam tribute at the Emmy Awards on Sunday. 


"It is remarkable and perhaps a little curious how quickly television shows become like families," Lynch was quoted as saying.

"This summer, on our show "Glee," we suffered a painful death in our family. Cory Monteith played Finn Hudson, a star quarterback-turned-wide-eyed-heartfelt-glee-singer, and from the first time you saw Cory, he had a star quality and a genuine sweetness that made it impossible not to fall in love with him. And millions did fall in love with Cory, and I'm here to say that all that warmth and that charm, that opened-hearted quality that we loved in Cory was no act. Cory was a beautiful soul. He was not perfect, which many of us here tonight can relate to. His death is a tragic reminder of the rapacious, senseless destruction that is brought on by addiction", Lynch claimed.

"Tonight we remember Cory for all he was, and mourn the loss of all he could have been," Lynch continued, adding: "To a generation that loved Cory so, please know, this wonderful and gifted young man was worthy of your love. And if you were lucky enough to know Cory as we did, and witness firsthand Cory's goofy, breezy sense of humor, his natural instinct for inclusiveness and his unbridled sense of generosity, day in and day out, I promise you would have loved him even more."
