The actress talked about how close they had been over the last 11 years and shared pictures of herself with the deceased.
“I’ve been trying my hardest to stay as busy as possible these past two days. As it stands, 2022 is not a year I’ll remember fondly.”
“The thought of accepting the reality, that I now have to live in a world you’re no longer part of, is far too heavy on my heart. 11 years, Reggie. 11 years worth of some of the most beautiful memories I have. You’ve been pouring love, encouragement and support into my life since I was a skinny and scrawny looking, aspiring singer,” she wrote.
