Celebrating the life of Kristina Donnelly

By Phillip Chapman
November 8, 1999

Kristina Donnelly, an eleven-year old young lady who literally impacted lives around the world, ended her struggle with the rare bone cancer Ewing's Sarcoma on Sunday.

Kristina’s one wish was to visit the set of Muppets From Space and perform in the film. Just like her sweet and inspiring spirit, she played Baab the Lamb in the movie. While every fan can relate with her dream of working with the Muppets, her gentle spirit and great courage inspired and challenged literally everyone she met.

Her father, Brian Donnelly, wanted everyone at Muppet Central to know how much the support from fans and performers have meant to the family. "Kristina is indeed a very special and giving child that seems to have had an effect on everyone. She is warm and caring with a sharp wit and a contagious sense of humor. When we first logged onto Muppet Central I think she got a real kick out of finding out that people had heard of her appearance in the Muppets From Space movie."

"You've given us a lot of support over the past several days and we can't thank you enough. She'll be forever in our hearts and please let everyone know that we're forever grateful for the magical moments created by everyone associated with the Muppets. Special memories can go a long way in easing the pain."

Indeed, no one can ever take away our memories of the true privilege of knowing Kristina. We will honor our friend in our Tributes section. And as we watch Muppet From Space and hear her Muppet friends say "Good morning Baab", we’ll be reminded of the angels greeting her each day in heaven.
