The most powerful part of Hope’s tribute? Stevie’s final act:
“Barely able to breathe, she stood up energetically one last time and walked to every family member in the room and stared them in the eye… before laying her head onto my chest and taking her last breath.”
Courtney Hope said, “I’m thankful I was entrusted with loving her and guiding her just as she loved and guided me. To be a witness to her boundless love and fierce nature was a privilege. She fought until the very end and made sure we knew it was going to be okay.”
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded her post with condolences. We send Courtney our love and prayers during her time of grief.
As Hope beautifully puts it:
“Sometimes taking care of something means letting it go to spread its wings and fly onto the next adventure. I promised her I would be okay, because I know this is just goodbye for now.”
