Shortly before Patridge’s post, her sister — Sadie’s mother, Casey Loza — shared the news of Sadie’s death.

“Sadie Raine Loza has left this Earthfor the heavens,” she captioned a selfie of her late daughter. “Writing this was the hardest thing I ever have had to do, not knowing the right words I’ll leave you with this, Sadie liked to remind me that the first law of thermodynamics aka (Law of Conservation of Energy) works in all spheres of life…..‘Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.’ "

She shared how Sadie’s legacy will live on, writing: “Transformation is a better word than death. Her story will save countless lives, her memory will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace you brilliant starseed. You’re with your creator. We will miss you dearly. I love you.”
