Raneka shared this message on Facebook on September 3:
I want to thank all of my fans & family that has reached out to me. Y’all make it so much easier for me to be able to express myself & be the real me. I appreciate the comfort, kind words and messages. Please be patient with me because I am very stubborn when I grieve, I like to have my distance.
