ā€œI vow to be a warrior for her and be a voice for cancer patients so the world can continue to improve the dialogue and the fight,ā€ she wrote on Instagram. ā€œI loved her. I still love her. And I love so much her husband Andre, stepson Sante, and friends. I made them some food yesterday. I will keep cooking. Cooking my soul until it understands this.ā€
