Just over a week after the untimely death of the legendary rapper, DMX, his fiancée Desiree Lindstrom takes to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to the late rapper.

Lindstrom writes, “The first night we met and you held me close. I knew I would never let go. I was lost in you and nothing else mattered. My best friend, my baby, my love…truly my everything. Thank you for us. Thank you for Exodus. Thank you God for Earl Simmons…forever X.”

She recently honored DMX with a tattoo of the rapper’s 2006 song, “Dog Love” on her arm. The artwork was done by New York-based tattoo artist, Krystal Kills who later posted the ink to Instagram with the caption, “I feel honored to be able to do this memorial but also saddened. “Your light was unmatchable.” She adds, “@desi123love I pray you find your way through these dark times, and remember the love you had for each other will forever be untethered. I’m glad I got to witness it. The world lost an icon but also a great father. Praying for your family. REST IN POWER DMX.”

Lindstrom also shared a rare video of DMX proposing on her Instagram Stories. She captioned the video, “I will forever love you baby!!! I miss you so freaking much!”

DMX’s memorial is set to take place in Brooklyn’s Barclay Center on April 24.
