I'm still having a problem coming to terms with the fact that Cory Monteith is no longer with us. Found dead in his hotel room on July 13, Monteith left a legacy behind that not only affected his family and friends, but millions of his fans as well.

We've heard touching statements from Dianna Agron and Jane Lynch, as well as some of Cory's other cast mates. As more and more reactions come out, what worries me the most is someone we haven't heard from: Chris Colfer.

It was a tragic accident that no one expected. After spending years working closely with Cory on the Glee set, I can only hope that Chris is spending these difficult times surrounded by close friends and family.

While Colfer is mum on the entire situation, cast mate Jenna Ushkowitz released a touching statement on about Cory's passing, saying:

I am so grateful that Glee brought this group of extraordinary individuals together to form a family. I was lucky enough to closely experience the love and light that Cory shared with the world, as well as having the privilege of traveling down the road together on a once in a lifetime journey. Cory always reminded me to be gracious, kind, and open, and he will leave a mark in my heart forever. Thank you everyone for your constant support and love while we mourn the loss of our dear friend, and continued support to Cory's family, and to Lea.

In a concert over the weekend, Chord Overstreet paid tribute to his friend the same way that Matthew Morrison did, with song.

With lyrics like, "I just close my eyes and wait for your light," this song gives me chills. Thinking about the two actors together now makes my heart melt, remembering how fantastic I thought they jived off of one another when Chord first joined the cast.

Our hearts are continually with Cory and his family. Stay strong, Glee fans.

It's been five days now since Glee star Cory Monteith was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room, and the pain for many lives on. Now that the cause of Cory's death, mixed drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol, has been confirmed and Cory's body was cremated Tuesday -- everyone is doing the best they can to handle the grief and move forward, including his Glee castmates.

Reactions from some of Cory's co-stars are slowly coming out in the media. Saddening photos were released yesterday of Dianna Agron, Jane Lynch, and Jenna Ushkowitz meeting for lunch and sharing an embrace. Twitter is flooded with love from Cory's McKinley classmates. Lynch went on The Tonight Show last night and shared some touching words about a beautiful man.

See how Cory's castmates are responding to the loss, here:

Jane Lynch had nothing but beautiful things to say about Cory last night on her Tonight Show appearance. Her words were bone chilling, saying that Cory was someone with "one of the biggest hearts" who "knew he was breathing rarefied air." Watch her touching interview, here:

Dianna Agron commented to The Hollywood Reporter about how hard the news was for her to hear, saying she "never lost a friend" before.

In this difficult time, I am leaning on all of the wonderful memories we shared with Cory, how many ways he was able to make us smile ... Cory is so deserving of that place in everyone's hearts. He was one of the most generous and kind people that I have ever met. He had a smart, curious mind, he was an enormous talent. He was loving to not only me but my family.

I have chills. So many chills. I had the pleasure of meeting Dianna when Glee was shooting here in New York City a few years back, and she has such a kind heart. As someone who has lost a close friend in my life, I can identify with her. It's never easy, whether it's the first time death has stuck close to home or the tenth.

Matthew Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester on Glee, paid tribute to Cory at a concert this past Sunday, singing "What I Did for Love" from A Chorus Line. Morrison told the crowd at Manhattan's 55 Below that Monteith was a "beautiful person" that left this world too soon. Watch clips of his performance, here:

And then there's Lauren Potter, who plays Becky Jackson. Potter tweeted this fantastic picture of her and her costar along with the messages, "Cory was always so nice to me. I have so many good memories," and "I am totally heartbroken right now. I love Cory so much this hurts my heart."

Our thoughts and prayers are with Cory Monteith's friends, family, and castmates.

What are some of your favorite Cory Monteith moments?
