"The dark storms have passed and all that is ahead of you is sunshine. You deserve that," the star's mentor declared.

"Thank you for being so sweet with my kids, the big kid in you always knew what to say to make them laugh. Rest well bab… Wolvo & the world weep," Denise concluded

Additionally, a source told Daily Mail, "Liam adored Denise. She mothered him and really tried to support him."

It is pertinent to mention that Payne lost his life after falling from the third-story balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
