If you can believe it, it’s been six years since Cory Monteith tragically passed away from a drug overdose at the young age of 31. Every year on the anniversary of her on-and-off screen love’s passing, Lea shares a moving tribute and this year is no exception.

“The light always remains,” Michele, 32, wrote, adding a heart emoji.

Last year, in honour of Monteith’s memory, Michele wrote: “There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone, the light remains.

Montieth, who started dating Michelle in 2012 died a year later on July 13 from a lethal combination of alcohol and heroin. In 2016, the Glee star, who is married to Zandy Reich,  revealed a permanent tribute to Corey with a “Finn” tattoo, recognising Monteith’s character from Glee.

The special ink was on full display after Michele shared photos from a bikini photoshoot.

No matter how long he’s gone, his fans and Michele will never forget him.
