The actress's daughter Isabella took to her Instagram and paid tribute to her mother. The actress's daughter peened down a lengthy note for her late mother, a part of her note read "I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there will never be any appropriate combination of earthly words to accurately describe my mother. You just had to be there to get it. She was everything at once. She was my first love. My best friend at times and my sworn adversary at others. She was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and she was wicked and fun and light and dark and she possessed the kind of magic that you truly just don’t see. When we were teenagers my friends and I coined the term #romylife because we all aspired to be more like her in the way she gave absolutely zero fuc*s about anything but her own happiness. I’m terrified of the world without her (how drab!) but so excited for wherever she’s heading next. They’d better gird their loins! All she ever wanted was for me to live my dreams and I think it’s no coincidence that she left earth once she knew I was finally safe and happy."
