I am deeply saddened by this, she was THE companion I had crush on in High School.
Saw this a few hours ago... sad.
RIP
I've just started watching Dr. Who. It makes me sad to hear about her death. RIP
Cancer sucks.
So long Sarah you were my first companion.
The first ever Who serial I watched at the age of five or six was The Hand of Fear, so the Doctor saying goodbye to Sarah Jane has always been strongly imprinted on me.
Saying goodbye to Elisabeth Sladen for real trumps that for depressing in a big way.
Although I remember Doctor Who from around The Three Doctors Sarah Jane Smith is my first 'real' companion and has always been my favourite. Farewell Liz, you went too soon...

This is very... surreal for me. The biggest Dr. Who fan I've ever had the pleasure knowing, and a very close friend of mine, passed away in February. He had been contemplating buying Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, I think he may have even purchased the first series of it shortly before he passed.
I haven't seen the 5th season, was going to watch it with him. Not sure I really want to now.

This is very sad. Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan were a huge part of my childhood. At this point I choose to think of Sarah's lines from School Reunion:
The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends.

Like others have said above: Liz was always my favorite companion. I didn't just have a crush on her; I was head over heels in love with her. I have always thought that she was perhaps the most beautiful woman I have ever seen (don't let my wife read this!).
I will miss her beauty, her voice, her grace and her character. This is the hardest celebrity death I have had to face so far. I know Tom Baker is going to be another hard one as well. (And Nicholas Courtney was surprisingly rough, too). As a writer, a gamer, a major book reader and a movie fanatic; these fictional characters and their roles can become almost more important to you than real people (notice I said almost). I felt like Liz was a real part of my childhood.
I will always miss you Sarah Jane; and work will be rough today trying to keep my head up with such a heavy heart...

They say 'You never forget your first Doctor' You never forget your first companion either, and Sarah Jane was mine. I was so happy to see Sarah Jane in School Reunion, and I got the SJA because she was my first. I was hard pressed to believe she was 63!
Rest in peace Ms. Sladen, and know you helped many a young man (and woman) by bringing joy to our lives.
To all good things there must come an end.
~ Goodbye Liz RIP
RIP Liz Sladen, you will be missed.
