I can’t express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with you and to know you as the most beautiful soul that you are.
Always kind, compassionate, giving. You make sure everyone feels included and safe in your presence.
I hope one day I can implement my learnings from you, and hold your values in my life.
You only come from a place of love and carry the willingness to sacrifice for your loved ones.
Keep shining my hero, on and off screen
Nobody can ever come close to your legacy.”
