Jackée Harry sent out a tweet on July 31 saying, "Today's secret word is LOVE. And I loved Pee Wee – or simply P, as I called him." She continued, "We lost one of the kindest souls today. I'm devastated, yet so grateful for 30+ years of friendship."
Included in the tweet was a picture of Harry and Paul Reubens together on their episode of "227," which also featured an appearance from Harry's fellow "Days of Our Lives" star Marla Gibbs, who plays Paulina's mother, Olivia Price (or "Big Mama," as they call her on the soap).
While Harry sent her love to Reubens, news of his death also came with a personal message from the man himself posted on Instagram. Reubens penned an apology to his fans and supporters for not sharing his health struggles over the last few years with the world. In the message, he expressed his gratitude for the love and support he had received his whole career, and for the chance to be able to create and share his talent with the world.
