Music executive Mykesha Robinson, whose daughter Faith was best friends with Fiona in elementary school, told the Daily Mail, “Something happened when the fires happened. They lost everything.”

Robinson also described the late teenager as “a ray of light” who was “not shy. She would go up and talk to anybody.”

Mykesha Robinson remembers Fiona as 'loving and kind'

Robinson said that her daughter and Fiona met at Palisades Charter Elementary School in the Pacific Palisades, California. It was their first day of school.

She recalled, “Faith had a tough time integrating. It was kind of just really tough for her. And Fiona just came up to her and was like, ‘Hey, do you want to be friends? Do you want to go jump rope?’ And Faith's like, ‘Yeah.’ So they hit it off really good.”

Calling Fiona “sweet”, “loving”, and “so kind,” Robinson revealed that both the girls lost touch after graduating from elementary school.

But a few weeks ago, Faith joined Instagram and tried to reconnect with her friend. Her follow request was, however, not accepted.

The World Music Commission founder also commented on Lowe’s wife and Fiona’s mother, Kim Painter, who, as per her, “was like the class historian and she took all the photos of the kids. She went to all the events. I mean, she literally was on campus every single day.”

“And I tell you what, coming from somebody who's raised their kids as a single mom, it was really nice to be able to have a friend that you can count on,” Robinson added.

Reflecting on Fiona’s death, about which she got to know from social media, she revealed, “I've been in buckets of tears over the situation.”
