The late actor's handwritten letter read:
"To my hunny,
By the time you read this, I must be in CDO already.
Just want to thank you for last night. You were wonderful!!! And because of that, I’m sure I’m gonna have a hard time sleeping without you by my side tonight. :(
But nevertheless, I still love you very much! MWAH!!"
