"And for those closest to him, he was brutally honest, even when we didn’t want to hear it. A true friend. I’ll forever be grateful for all of it. Especially, for the best decision we ever made together…our baby boy, our bear, Bulleit."

She spoke about his journey as a dancer and noted that it had been 10 years of "adventure, laughs, love, and living out" their dreams in Los Angeles. Michael Stein got to travel the world doing what he loved, which was dancing, choreographing, creating, videoing, and "assisting people."

She further wrote that she promises to never give up and to keep fighting for the dream. She also added that she promises to keep living for the best moments in life in Michael Stein's honor.
