“Although we lost someone that we really love, that you guys love too, we are very fortunate to come back [for the next season],” she said.
“Cory was like a brother to us and like a dad, and you know he was always ready to sign an autograph for a fan – he loved you gleeks and he loves his fans.
“So on behalf of our brother and our classmate, we accept this award,” Amber Riley continued.
