This was unexpected and we are completely grief-stricken.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Monday afternoon, nearly $100,000 had been donated to help cover her medical bills and a memorial service. Remaining funds will go to causes in her name, specifically those which fight cancer, Orr said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veronica Taylor, one of Lillis&#8217; co-stars on Pok\u00e9mon, described her an &#8220;extraordinary talent, a bright light that shone through her voice whether speaking or singing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She will be forever remembered for the many animated roles she played, with her iconic performances as Pok\u00e9mon&#8217;s Misty and Jessie being the most beloved,&#8221; Taylor <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheVeronicaT\/status\/1823000035883438271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added: &#8220;Rachael was so thankful for all the generous love and support that was given to her as she battled with cancer.
