As of October 14, $4,570 has been raised.Morningstar was always a supportive, warm person, Cruz told The Advocate. He said that he and Morningstar would hang out at parties around West Hollywood to dance — or as Morningstar liked to put it “going to cha cha.”“It's very rare for anybody to really find somebody like Lawrence because of how passionate and loving and just unique he was,” Cruz said.
He said they had planned to spend New Year’s Eve in Mexico this year.“He would buy last minute [tickets[ to go [on trips] with me because he knew I was going alone,” Cruz said. “He just lit up a room 100 fold and you could just feel his presence.”A public memorial will take place at The Chapel at The Abbey in West Hollywood, Calif., at 6 p.m.
