 July 13 marks the four-year anniversary of Glee star Cory Monteith’s sudden death, and his costar and girlfriend at the time of his passing, Lea Michele, chose to honor the date in a sweet and simple way, Refinery29 reports.
In an emotional tweet, Lea shared a photo of herself wearing Cory’s Glee character’s red letterman jacket while holding an old snapshot of the couple. “Hard to believe it’s been 4 years,” Lea wrote. “We miss you C… love you more.”
