“I can’t eat or sleep,” Brittanie wrote. “All I can do is make videos and I wish you were here with me #rip #myangel.”
Brittanie then made the decision to visit the crash site where she filmed herself mourning Britannie and revealed they were engaged.
“Thank you all for keeping her memory alive and reaching out,†Britannie told her followers.
Then addressing Rochelle, Brittannie added, “Thanks for showing me what true love is. I love you forever.”
The two were planning to tie the knot in October to heartbroken Brittannie, leaving one of their invitations at the scene of her partner’s fatal car crash.
