“As an artist what I am going to say about you, great and as an even greater colleague, I am going to miss you a lot, our conversations, those good mornings and good nights and so many memories and experiences that we have shared. You have always been an extraordinary being to me, I will be eternally grateful for your loyalty and your big heart. Mine is broken with your departure,” added the actress, very hurt by the sudden loss of her.

Rest in peace friend and may God take you in his bosom. “R.I.P.,” the message concluded.
