Her absence will leave a void that can never be filled. — Richard Lewis (@RLewisReports) December 28, 2019 She would not have wanted any lengthy statements or grand eulogies. Despite having fans all over the world she was never one who craved the spotlight. My only request is that anyone wanting to pay tribute reach out to ensure that it is done in a manner that respects her wishes. — Richard Lewis (@RLewisReports) December 28, 2019 Although I never spoke to or interacted with Remilia, hearing about the things she went through always strongly affected me and I always looked up to her and felt sympathy for what she had to deal with. I hope she finds peace, and I hope she knows how many people she helped. — egg (@emiru4444) December 28, 2019 All my deepest condolences to #remilia's family. She was a true inspiration for a lot of people and someone who didn't deserve to leave this world that early. We'll keep her in our hearts. #RestInPeaceRemilia pic.twitter.com/uVn8PtV3nR — 𝖘𝖆𝖒 🏳️🌈 (@sambalenin) December 28, 2019
