My heart and prayers go out to Russi at this sad time. It will be hard for her to do Minnie's voice as she will be reminded of her loss.

I'd love to think that Wayne will be met at the Pearly Gates by Walt himself and told, "Good job, kid. I couldn't have done it better myself."

I just saw the news this morning; I'm amazed this isn't bigger news.

Thanks for the article. As a huge fan of Mickey Mouse and the classic characters, I feel that a chapter of my life has ended. Wayne Allwine's long performance as Mickey is without a doubt unsurpassable, and he will be sorely, sorely missed.

My deepest condolences to the equally inspiring Russi Taylor; I hope she'll pull through.
