"I’m so heartbroken. I loved you so much," she began with a slideshow of images of memories with Sirico.
"I have never been able to walk into a room that you were in without you giving me an enormous hug, drenching me in your cologne, and making sure I knew any man that came near me would have to answer to you first.

I feel so lucky to have known you and been loved by you."
