A part of me is missing even though I know exactly what you would say to me right now.
I know exactly what you would tell me to do right now.”
“They will walk with your sense of purpose and pride,” she added.
“They will be truthful and stand up for what is right.
No matter what and zero f—s given.
Your fire will live on in them and the many other Charmed ones you helped raise.”
“My loyal protector.
My best friend,” she wrote.
“You taught me the meaning of family.
You were and will be forevermore my sister.
I love you.”
(The episodes will be released at a later date.)
Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
After undergoing chemotherapy, she disclosed in April 2017 that her cancer was in remission.
The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace."
