Bonas, 35, shared a carousel of images on social media featuring her sister along with an emotional dedication.

“Then one day, I’ll remember you said in one of your final days, ‘I don’t know what all the fuss is about, I ain’t going nowhere…’ And I’ll realize, I never had to look for you at all. You were right here beside me all along, because, my darling sister, my heart is forever tied to yours,” she continued. The post ended with “Pandora Cooper-Key ~ 1973-2024” with a blue butterfly emoji.
