Milania Giudice will forever remember her late best friend, Victoria Zardoya.
“Every Chapter Has Your Name In It 🤍🕊️,” Giudice, 20, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, August 1, sharing a carousel of throwback images featuring the childhood friends. “My Victoria. My best friend. My sister. My soulmate. My partner in crime. There are no words in any language that could ever describe losing you.”
Zardoya died on July 24 after suffering a fatal fall. She was 20.
“I still wait for your name to pop up on my phone, I still expect to hear your laugh, and I still catch myself wanting to tell you something,” the Bravolebrity added on Saturday. “My heart keeps forgetting what my mind already knows, but one thing I know for sure is that every chapter of my life has your name in it.”
Milania, one of exes Teresa and Joe Giudice’s four daughters, first met Zardoya when they were both 4 years old.
“We went to art school together, grew up on Indian Lane, and somehow two little girls who lived two houses apart became sisters,” Milania recalled. “We ARE the girls. … The girls who were always laughing, causing chaos, and making memories nobody else would understand.”
She continued, “Victoria, I am so sorry this happened to you. You never deserved this. I would do anything to change it. We had too many plans, too many dreams, and too much life left to live together.”
Zardoya is survived by her parents and her twin sister, Alexandra.
“Thank you, Maritza and Jose, for giving me my best friend,” Milania wrote, referring to Zardoya’s parents. “Thank you for raising the most incredible person and loving me like family. I was never just Victoria and Alexandra’s friend. You gave me a second family.”
Milania further noted that she still feels Zardoya’s presence even after her sudden and heartbreaking death.
“Even though you aren’t here the way I wish you were, you are still here. In every story. In every laugh. In every memory,” she said. “And the most Victoria thing of all … you are still giving love. Through your organ donation, you are saving eight lives and giving other families more time with the people they love.”
Milania concluded, “I promise I will keep telling your stories. I will stand beside Alexandra and your family forever. Forever my best friend, forever my sister, forever my Victoria. 🤍🕊️We had one hell of a ride, kid.”
