Sharon Cuneta took to social media to pen a message for her late friend Cherie Gil.

The Megastar shared that she was with Cherie in New York during the latter's final hours.

\"I flew to New York early yesterday with a heavy heart, still forcing it to hang on to that sliver of hope of God performing a miracle and allowing you to pull through this. I am eternally grateful to Him for giving us the few hours we spent together... the love and words yet again exchanged in person. The knowledge that the friendship forged when we were very young was stronger and would only keep getting so,\" she wrote.

In her post, Sharon shared her final conversation with Cherie before she passed away, which was a few hours after she visited the late actress.

\"You told me about your tree to heaven outside of your apartment window which I didn’t get to see. We said 'I love you' and I said I’d see you again today and you raised both arms and gave me the thumbs up with both hands. Then barely eleven hours after I left you, I was awakened by his call saying you had passed... I leave New York now with a much heavier heart than ever before... because now I am leaving YOU with the knowledge that I will NEVER see you again... I cannot process it,\" Sharon remarked.

The actress said that it will never be the same without Cherie.

\"I will never be the same without you. I told you that you had to fight, please, because you couldn’t leave me and that you were my partner, that there is no one like you... You said yes. But God took you home, took all your pain away. I will never get to feed you ice chips again. Or share most everything else with you,\" she stated.

Sharon said that she is taking comfort knowing that she was with Cherie's family during her final moments.
