Rena Sofer: It’s All About Loving Alfie

“I have too much to say. But I have no words right now,” Sofer began an emotional Instagram post in which she featured some heartfelt photographs of Alfie, who has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. “It’s all just so much pain. Yesterday was the most devastating yet expected day. But it was too soon. I only had my boy for 7 years and 8 days. Cancer stole him from me, from Sandy [my husband], from [our daughter] Avalon, and from his sister Mega. From everyone who knew and loved him.

“I love all my dogs…but without remorse…Alfie was my favorite,” Sofer reveals. “My heart and soul dog. I am destroyed and numb. The greatest gift we gave each other was each other. I will miss you forever and ever and ever.”

Many of Sofer’s followers, friends, and daytime pals weighed in with messages of support. “Oh Rena, I’m so sorry for your loss,” shared Eva Basler, VP, Communications & Talent Relations, The Bold and the Beautiful. (Sofer played Quinn on B&B.)

GH co-star Laura Wright (Carly) wrote: “I’m so sorry” along with a trio of broken heart emojis. Linsey Godfrey (Sarah, Days of our Lives; ex-Caroline, B&B) posted: “I’m so sorry Rena.”

Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, The Young and the Restless; ex-Nina, GH), Ashley Jones (Bridget, B&B; ex-Parker, GH), and Karla Mosley (ex-Maya, B&B) also weighed in with support.

Follower Janet Roberts Mullen shared: “I’m so incredibly sorry Rena! Cancer has taken down my Pitbull and Jack Russell. I know this pain! The price of love is so high but you gave Alfie a beautiful life! I truly believe that all of our animals will come running to us when it’s our turn! I feel for you and your huge heart!!
