Adding, "We had just learned to do the baby heart with our fingers. Here Chadwick was adding his suave flare. We spent a glorious 72 hours there, and the memory fills me with so much joy."
"Death is hard to understand, maybe even harder to accept," she continued. "But the love generated from the life he lived will fuel every anniversary marking his absence."
Proving his acting mettle, the deceased star awe-struck fans and glittered critics with his performances in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Marshall and Da 5 Bloods.
