When "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" first came out as a movie,
I fell completely in love. It was one of the greatest movies I now
own. Then, years later, when the television show came out, I thought
to myself, 'It's never going to be as great as the origional'. How
wrong I was.
BTVS, as we fans so lovingly call it, has come to be one of the
single greatest television shows I have seen in all of my lifetime,
however short those 18 years may seem. As I began to get more and
more into the show, almost missing out on seeing it at all due to my
skepticism, I found the characters and plots to be some of the most
creative I have ever watched. The idea that so much can happen
everywhere and noone even knows about it intrigued me. Joss' mind
created this wonderful world where a regular highschool
girl was transoformed into one of the most admirable Slayers in
history. Her watcher one of the smartest and best training. Her
two friends turned from extrodinary, one becoming a most powerful
Witch and the other taking his bravery to astounding heights.
Along the way we met some incredible characters, vampires, demons,
ex-demons, witches, you name it, it was there. And this creativity
and fiction mixed with such colorful fact created a wonderful setting
for a great show. Throughout the show, every plot we could conceive
has been examined and used to delight and enjoy us, as well as bring
tears and a saddening pain to our hearts. It truely brought out the
'human' in all of us.
And so, in saying this very, very fond Farewell, we wish the
cast and crew of Buffy the Vampire Slayer a wonderful life and many
thanks. But our thanks most of all goes to Joss Whedon for his
creative inspiration that has fueled all our interest in the show
and "Angel".
Heroic efforts that have saved the world so very many times, and
a good friend will be missed. Survived by Dawn Summers, sister.
We'll miss you , Sarah!

can run free and for that we thank you dearly. We will miss your wonderful
tales and adventures that come the Slayer and her gang's way. And,
