GODSPEED, YVONNE LIME

You were "appealing as the girl who loved him" in I Was A Teenage Werewolf, with Michael Landon, and were just as appealing in the rambunctious Dragstrip Riot, Untamed Youth, High School Hellcats and Speed Crazy, the latter two with Brett Halsey. You brought comparable charm to the absorbing The Rainmaker, with Burt Lancaster and Earl Holliman, and the uplifting Loving You, with Elvis Presley. 

You were also easy to spot in other popular productions, including Happy (in all episodes as the sprightly Sally Day), Father Knows Best (as the recurring Dottie Snow), The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show, Bringing Up Buddy, The People's Choice, The Millionaire, The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Ghost Farm, Crossroads, Dragnet, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., My Three Sons, Family Affair, Wichita Town, Bat Masterson and The Adventures of Jim Bowie. (And just for the pun-intended record, your Eddie Cochran collaboration, "Ting-A-Ling Telephone," should have inundated the airwaves and achieved Hit Parade status. Truly, it's that darn good.) 

Above all, you had a very big heart, one that helped cofound the essential charity, Childhelp, to assist abused and neglected children. 

In other ways, you personified the idea of an ideal girlfriend, being beautiful, amiable and supportive, much as you were in your roles. 

There's no doubt that you were an Earth angel, and now as an angel of Heaven, you'll travel the golden trails of a forever appreciative Eternity. God bless and Godspeed, my appealing Ms. Lime.
