Cory
Monteith’s “Glee” co-stars are honoring his memory on a difficult
day.
Wednesday
marked three years since the actor died of a drug overdose at just 31 years
old, and his onscreen classmates commemorated his legacy with a series of
photos and kind words on social media.
Kevin McHale
was the first “Glee” alum to share his thoughts, tweeting a cute GIF
of him and Cory goofing off together.

“Three
years ago my best friend was about to get married, I was 7 months pregnant and
was delivered the news that Cory had passed,” she wrote, captioning a
funny snap of her and Cory on the “Glee” set. “I was weary to
get too emotional in fear that I would go into labor too early. … He was our
family. We miss u bud.”
Lea Michele, who was dating Cory at the
time of his passing, posted a poignant photo of Cory walking toward the ocean.

Back in April, she
shared a peek at a small tattoo bearing the football jersey number of Cory’s
“Glee” character, Finn Hudson.
“For my Quarterback,” Lea wrote
on Instagram at the time, captioning a black-and-white photo of her then-fresh
ink.
