Amalia, not a day passes where I don’t get the urge to call you to chat and banter how we have done for the last 22 years. I miss you more than I can express and I am honoured that I had the opportunity to share how much you meant to me in front of all your family, friends and loved ones at your funeral. You were my 1 of 1 and my sister.
I will never forget how we met playing jump rope outside when we were 10 years old, to growing, changing and evolving into the people we are today. I attribute much of my unforgettable childhood memories and countless hours on the phone laughing and sharing our dreams and aspirations to you. You were a light in my life.
I will also never forget the last time we hung out and I styled your hair, you looked in the mirror and got emotional. I can’t express how much joy it gave me to see you look, and feel so beautiful. How much I would give to have another moment with you. It was the cutest thing to see your fur baby Luna, AKA Kaboosi sitting and staring at us the whole time enjoying our kiki together while you watched your housewives. My gosh how much you loved that show and knew every storyline. You’d message me the most random quotes and ruthless reads that would just make me laugh. Or just randomly calling each other and immediately busting out into the most random songs!
We were a safe space for each other. A week ago, my life changed forever. Being by your side with your family in your last moments on this planet will be something so dearly special that I will take with me forever. I love you immensely. Thank you for being the greatest friend I could possibly ask for and I know you are with me always.
Rest in eternal peace, Amalia.

I’m struggling to find the right words to share. I knew Amalia when she was really young as she was really close with my youngest sister. I truly only have fond memories of her. My heart goes out to her family and friends but especially Dawn, Nigel, and Dominique. I can’t begin to imagine what you’re all going through. I hope that the memories you all shared with Amalia live within you forever. Rest so peacefully sweet Amalia <3

I remember growing up with Amalia, in elementary school she would always come over as our big sisters were very close. We always had fun eating snacks and sitting RIGHT in front of the TV :’). Amalia and I shared a lot of memories from elementary to high school. I am so saddened by this sudden loss and my sincere condolences go out to her family and close friends. May you rest in perfect peace Amalia <3

Amalia I never thought I would be writing something like this for you. I miss you and knowing I can’t just text you to hang out or have a phone chat feels so wrong. Thank you so much for being my friend, you’ve always been such a good friend. You brought me into your life at a time when I really needed community and sisterhood. You always felt like a sister to me, and I will always cherish every moment I had the privilege of sharing with you. From fighting over boys (who we were wayyyy too good for) to every sleep over, watching gossip girl on repeat for hours, going out and being silly in toronto, I will think of those moments forever. I hope you know what an impact you had on everyone who has met you, the impact you had on me. I am so proud of all you got to do before you were taken from us. You are the most beautiful girl in the world and we were not worthy. They say that God takes the best people first and I am holding on to that knowing that you are at the highest part of heaven looking after us. I love you, I miss you and goodbye for now. ♾️

As I write this I struggle to find the words to adequately express my profound heartbreak. From the age of 9 you became a staple in my life a constant that I always assumed would be there to continue experiencing all of life's milestones together. I feel so cheated and robbed you are not here. Time and life made it more difficult to see you, but I always felt the peace of mind that we could reach out and catch up as if no time had passed at all.
We went from children to adults in what felt like the blink of an eye and now I cling to my memories of you like a well loved sweater giving me comfort and warmth. Memories feels so bittersweet now. It feels like in losing you a piece of myself is gone, never to be replaced and it hurts so much.
My heart hurts for your family and I can't express my sympathy enough for their deep loss. Your courage, humor, wit and beauty were boundless and for this reason I know all those who had the privilege of loving you are grieving deeply. I belive there is a heaven and I get some comfort in knowing this parting is temporary and one day we can meet again and pick up our conversations like we use to. I can tell you all the gossip, successes, failures and moments you missed and the fear of separation will no longer be a weight in our minds.
Rest in eternal peace my beloved friend, I love you. Until we meet again. I'll bring the champagne ❤️

I remember the day you were brought home from the hospital and I fell so in love with you. So tiny you were and so precious. I just wanted to hold you forever. As you grew up, you blossomed into a vibrant, beautiful light with a fire of truth always emitted from your spirit. I will always love you dear sweet Amelia. From your Aunty, Scyalla. I know you are at peace and dancing with the angels and I know your fierceness and effervescent glow will shine forever in heaven.

I can't even believe I have to write these words today. I am so guilty I didn't respond to your last text message and that I didn't reach out more, I took for granted that we would somehow be in each others lives for a long wonderful time. I am gutted that you left so soon.
I hope you knew how important you were and are and forever will be to me though we weren't as much in touch these last few years.
Your sisterhood and friendship and love especially through the initial years of my transition helped me become the person and woman I am today. You helped me become strong and full of pride and encouraged me to shine my light as bright as I could because you did. In more ways than one, you saved me Amalia. You were real as rain, and your heart was so pure.
You were generous, hilarious, warm, brilliant and bold, you shone in any room or space you were in, you were and are a star, and one that was beautiful inside and out.
The memories have been dripping in these last few days, and I just wish you could have been here with us longer, that you could have had the opportunity to live out every single one of your dreams as a musician and artist and performer and so much more. That we could have grown into fierce old dolls together, but not actually aging a day. That I could have seen you grace the cover of Vogue, and to hear your hits at dance clubs in Berlin and everywhere.
You were and are a light, Amalia. I will never forget you. Not ever. I will see you in the stars because I know that's where you are today and where you'll be watching us and shining bright forever.
With so much love and sisterhood, I'll think about you every day.

I cared about Amalia so deeply and felt like an older sister to her. Her light, her openness and acceptance of all kinds of people under most circumstances was always so admirable to me. She modeled an excitement for life and new experiences with such wonder. We have lost a true light in this world, one of a few that made this world feel worth celebrating, among so much hardness. Amalia, you always have a place to stay with me, to stay up late nights giggling and gossiping, in this lifetime and the afters.

Amalia was one of my best friends during the most formative years of our lives. We were just babies looking back now. She helped me to become the person and friend that I am. Her adorable laugh has taken up permanent residence in my mind. She was so supportive but would also check me if I was being foolish. She helped me develop my fashion sense, without her I'd still be a Madonna wannabe. She gave me space to be myself without judgment. She saw the worth and value in people even if they couldn't see it for themselves. She stood up for her friends. She helped me learn to love and forgive myself for being human. For those who remember it, she helped make 110 Wellesley OUR home. Without her our little Monster family wouldn't have made sense. I'll never forget you because you are a part of me. You shone so bright yet never cast a shadow. A true superstar.
Everywhere I go, every smile I see, I know you are there smiling back at me. Dancing in moonlight, I know you are free cause I can see your star shining down on me.
Love you forever, LeDor
