It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall.”

Candice King, known as Carlonie Forbes from The Vampire Diaries, shared picture and wrote on her Instagram stories, “My heart is broken thinking about Annie's family and loved ones. She had such a warm presence and a bright smile that would immediately put everyone in a fantastic mood. She was an unforgettable member of the TVD family. I remember one day on set we were catching up in our downtime between scenes in the Salvatore house. She was playing with her son who had joined her while she was in Atlanta to film. I was pregnant with my first and this was my first glimpse of seeing a mom on a set with her child and loving all of it. She spoke so encouragingly and gave wonderful advice on my next chapter in motherhood. I didn't have many scenes with Annie, and while I know she was passionate about her work, she LOVED being a Mom. My condolences to her husband and their three sons. The link is for a GoFundMe for her family to help ease the cost of medical bills and funeral expenses as they take the time to grieve.”
