Carrie Fisher‘s half-sister Joley has penned an emotional tribute following the actress’ tragic passing.

In a guest column for THR, Joely, who was born to Eddie Fisher but had a different mother than Carrie, spoke of their childhood together and her last conversation with Carrie before her death.

“You all lost Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher; I lost my hero, my mentor, my mirror. My brother Todd has lost his sister and his mother, whom he has said will lay to rest together. There is no universe where these ladies are not due their appropriate pedestals, and both will be memorialized in separate ceremonies in coming weeks,” she wrote.

Joely continued, “My sister Tricia Leigh and I vow to be whatever our niece Billie needs us to be. We will pick up the saber, use the force…whatever. We will honor these two magical people who have left the tribe in the way they lived, with grandeur and grace. I want them back but since I know that is not possible, I will soldier on. I have changed my shoes and will keep dancing to honor these magic people.”
