"I miss you more than words could ever explain. Life has been so strange and surreal since you left us. The world still sees Costa Titch everywhere—your music, your name, your image. But not many see you, the boy we knew, the gentle soul with the kind heart, that infectious laugh, and those warm hugs we miss so much."
"It’s been so hard for us as a family. People talk about your fame, your brand, your catalogue—but not enough about you. Not the son, the brother, the friend. Everyone seems to want a piece of what’s left of you… But all we want is you back. Just to hear your laugh again. To have one more hug. One more family moment."

Lara also revealed that she has been approached by producers to make a documentary about the star. She finds this heartwarming because it speaks volumes about the type of person he was during his short time on earth.

"That’s just who you were. You saw people, not colour. And as your mother, I now understand how heavy it must have been for you. Just trying to be yourself in a world that constantly tries to put you in a box. You never chased fame. You chased purpose. You chased unity. You stood for love and positivity and gave youth something real to believe in."

She then apologised to Costa for the way she raised him, saying maybe if he had taken a different career path, he would still be alive

"But a part of me wonders, if you had just lived a “normal” life, a 9-to-5, out of the spotlight—maybe you’d still be here with us."

Lara is comforted knowing that Costa is probably in a better place, free from the world's dangers and judgment.
