She was [a] big dreamer & was a part of our Valholla family. I'm heartbroken by the news of her passing. I'm thankful I got to know & work w/ her. My thoughts are with her family & loved ones.

Some of you may know her from Bad Girls Club but I knew the real her. Such a sweet soul and with radiant energy so full of life. Gone [too] soon."
