"I will love you like this forever, stuck in time, always with you in the back of the van," she wrote in part. "You still make me laugh like nobody else. I'm not so sure that I can still feel the heat of my cheek on your laughing lips as I fall on you, casual and clumsy on Tuesday morning, you My family, we are such children. "
The 25-year-old actress said, "I will never understand and my head hurts most of the day, so I try to understand it." "But I keep your body with me forever, I hold you wherever I go, I take you with love, willingly. I am lucky for it. We are all better for it."
Also on Friday, Entertainment Weekly shared an exclusive video of Cameron's last on-camera interview, in which he revealed to his Paradise City costar Matt Pinfield about the impact he had on the life of his grandmother, Jo Ann Boyce.
Joe Ann, 91, is a part of American history as one of the members of Clinton Twelve, a group of black students who first attended an integrated high school in the South in 1958.
"We talk about it constantly," Cameron said. "It wasn't that long ago that this all-white high school in Clinton, Tennessee, in the south was separated by my grandmother who is still alive and in the '70s and is still going, and will be for a long time. It will be Just lets you see from this point of view how close it is. It wasn't that long ago. "
"I think the best thing about her is that she's one of the happiest people I've ever met. She can be bitter about the way she went and can't talk about it. Is. But she only wants to spread love and positivity. People from the white south who were not so happy that she was there originally reacted to him on Facebook and apologized. And she was quick to forgive him. Is. It's a really amazing story ... she's a living legend. "
Since his death, Cameron's family started the Cameron Boyce Foundation "to provide artistic and creative outlets to young people as an alternative to violence and negativity, and to use resources and philanthropy for positive change in the world." .
The Foundation marked Cameron's 22nd birthday with its annual charity event, selling T-shirts, hoodies and jean jackets designed by actress and her descendant Costar Sophia Carson.
Both Libby and Victor tell the people that in view of their loss, they want to "move on" with their son's spirit.
"He's gone, but his spirit lives with us," Libby said, calling her son "deep," "thoughtful," and "an old soul."
Reflecting on his death, Libby said, "It is extremely excruciatingly painful every day - not just his birthday."
