“I’m not sure how I’m meant to do life without her. She’s been my absolute best friend my whole life. My protective big sis that always had my back. She made everyone feel seen, loved, safe. She was the glue that held us and so many together. Christina, I love you so much,” reads a portion of the lengthy caption.
