Billie Lourd’s Stepfather Bruce Bozzi Pens Emotional Tribute: ‘The Strength of These Women Live So Vibrantly in You’

@praisethelourd it’s an honor to be your Stepfather. This day, your NYU grad day we had so much fun! Yankee Stadium your mom and I laughed our asses off, as she kept one fantastic line coming after the other – no less when we all fell asleep the night before in the smaller ceremony because it was so boring. Every time Carrie looked at me she said ” how are you still awake”! Your grandmother with our sweet Ava was the kindest most loving. So…as Carrie said to me years ago ” I’m a good stepmother” I promise I will always be & the strength of these women live so vibrantly in you. I’ve been lucky enough to see this for a decade! Many decades to come…..heaven just got a shit load more fun!!!! I love you @praisethelourd xo Bru Thursday 12/29/16

The 24-year-old suffered a double loss when her loved ones died within one day of each other, but Bozzie, who is married to Billie’s father, Byran Lourd, wants her to know he’s there for her.
