I cant put to words how grateful I am to have gotten the privilege of befriending Illy in 2019. She was the first person to commission me and she personally introduced me to my now girlfriend of 4 years. She was an extraordinary person full stop I owe her for the life I now live
This is incredibly hard to write, but last week, Illy passed away. She brought so much warmth and kindness into my life, even when she was ill.
Thank you for showing her love over the years, you gave her so much purpose and joy. Things won't feel the same without her.
