Paying tribute to her ‘Glee’ co-star who sadly passed away earlier this year, Jane Lynch lead a heart-felt tribute to Cory Monteith at this year’s Emmys. Jane notes that Cory “was a beautiful soul” and says his early passing was very tragic and a “senseless” death brought on by an addiction that he couldn’t control. She says that the world is still mourning his loss and that he is “worthy” of all of the love he has been given:

“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. Tonight we remember Cory for all he was and mourn the loss of all he could have been. To a generation that loved Cory so, please know this gifted and wonderful young man was worthy of your love.”

She added that those who knew him all saw what an amazing, charming person Cory was. Jane describes Cory’s great sense of humour and how it made everyone around him fall in love with him even more when they got to know him:

”And if you were lucky enough to know Cory as we did, and witness first hand Cory’s goofy, breezy sense of humour, his natural instinct for inclusiveness and his unbridled sense of generosity day in and day out, I promise you have loved him even more.”
