In the caption, Woody spoke of his heartbreak, noting how much he had changed his life during their short time together.
“You made me a better person!!!” he wrote on November 2nd. “You came into this world with your hands balled into a fist, which symbolize strength. You made me feel, as I was the luckiest person alive. My heart will never heal from this, I won’t be weak bc of you. I say things out of anger & frustration, never again. You humble me & gave me unbelievable strength I still feels your presence.”
He continued, “You will never be forgotten, in 2months your presence touched the world. Millions of ppl watched you, God is a God of love he sent you with so much of it!!! Tori is so beautiful and strong!!!! I’m not gonna let her go. Your life was beautiful your love was real you became my best friend the moment your eyes opened. I love you and imma miss you!! I’m feeling empty now, Tori is my only strength other than God.”
Woody shared another post that included footage from the funeral, capturing the procession, flowers, and those who attended.
Speaking about the funeral, he said, “Today was very special & it felt special I wanna thank everybody that’s been involved.”
In other posts last month, Woody wrote, “Life ain’t worth living anymore,” and “I know this isn’t the work of the Lord, Satan will never win.”
The former Young Thug associate, who was a witness in the YSL RICO case, was involved in a motorcycle crash in August and spent some time in the hospital.
