Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke’s grieving fiancée, Amber Lorraine, posted a heartbreaking tribute to the late NBA star, revealing the couple’s intimate plans to get married before hisshocking death.
“There are no words to describe this feeling,” Lorraine wrote Sunday in an emotional Instagram post alongside a series of photos of the pair.
“I never thought I’d have to live life without you,” she said, calling Clarke “the most special person, with the biggest heart.”
“The day you proposed was the happiest day of my life. We were supposed to be married soon and eventually start a family,” she added.
Lorraine also shared intimate memories of their life together, saying she missed everything from his “silly jokes” to their deep conversations, favorite breakfasts, and quiet nights watching “Harry Potter.”
“All I want is to hug you and kiss you,” she added. “This world isn’t the same without you.”
