'Moesha' actress Yvette Wilson passes

The comedy world bids farewell to 'Moesha' and 'The Parkers' comedienne/actress Yvette Wilson. She suffered from cervical cancer. The 48 year old, best known as Andell on both shows, died Thursday from stage 4 of the disease and kidney problems.
The actress had accumulated mounting medical bills from her illness which prompted a fundraiser in her name seeking $25,000.
On the website of the fundraiser close friend to Wilson, Jeffrey Pittle, confirmed the news:
"It is with a heavy heart that I can verify that Yvette passed away last evening after a lengthy and hard battle. She was a fighter to the end, and her talent, humor and amazing friendship will be sorely missed. She will live on through her awesome body of work."
In addition to her most notable roles on the UPN sitcoms, she also had roles in House Party 2, House Party 3, and Def Comedy Jam.

I tip my hat to a doll. May she rest in paradise.
