"The pain of losing you is just unbearable and i don't know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. and I loved you so much," she wrote.

Kylie has stepped up to help her late friend's family pay for the funeral expenses, something Jesus' sister Gris shared her gratitude for in a message on a GoFundMe page she'd initially created to cover the costs.
