Today, on what would have been Diem Brown's 35th birthday, friends and MTV co-stars are paying tribute to the TV star.
Alicia Quarles posted a photo of her and her best friend that read, "Happy birthday my beautiful, beloved @DiemBrown. You were one of my bridesmaids when I recited these words as my wedding vows. Now I dedicate them to you, my sister, soulmate, best friend and true love."
She then wrote the lyrics to E.E. Cummings' "I Carry Your Heart."
Paula Beckert also shared a pic with her fans of a get together with Diem and wrote a lengthy, emotional caption about how she's still coping with the loss.
"Today is @DiemBrown birthday and this is how I will remember her…taking every ounce of life to the extreme," she began by writing.
"Whether it's a costume party, a dance party or no party, Diem celebrated with every breath. I miss my friend. But today is for smiles, hair whips and splits. I know she is in heaven, watching over us, bringing her spirit to us when we need it most, and just making sure we are doing OK. Well Diem, we are OK, but dammit life was just a lot more fun with you here."
