Among the notes written for the late actor was this touching tribute from a fan: "Cory, you were such an amazing musician, actor and most importantly a great person. I had the pleasure of meeting you and will never forget it. I'll never forget Finn Hudson, the awkward 'jock' who was kind to everyone on the hit show Glee. You touched so many lives through your work & we thank you. You will be greatly missed but you'll always be remembered. We love you. Thoughts and prayers go out to Cory's friends, family and fans."
