The model wrote: ‘Lisbeth, my beautiful friend. You have flown to heaven too soon and are now in the arms of your sweet parents, but you will be in my heart and thoughts every day.
‘There was no one like you, you were an enlightened unicorn here on earth, the sweetest and most loving mother of your beautiful son Charlie, the kindest, most thoughtful and loyal friend to me, always attentive, always thinking of everyone around you . .
‘”Hello darling,” you said with such a happy voice every time we spoke on the phone. You were an incredible artist, but the unique thing about your art is that it came from every pore of you.
“You lived and breathed art and beauty, it was all around you in everything, in the houses you decorated so cozy and magnificently, in the way you danced, in the music that always played in the background, in the way you dressed so elegantly and timelessly. , in every delicious meal you prepared, even in how you served it, in the way you wrote letters and Christmas cards, in how you wrapped every perfect gift I received from you… more than anything, beauty was in your spirit.
‘There was so much magic around you, so much warmth and joy.
‘I will always be deeply grateful for our friendship, for all the laughter, humor, tears and many adventures we shared. I love you my sweet friend. Until I see you again.
