Lea Michele is still finding ways to celebrate Cody Monteith, ten months after his death.
The "Glee" star posted a heartwarming black-and-white photo of her and Monteith on Sunday - the day that would have been Cory Monteith's 32nd birthday.
"The biggest heart and most beautiful smile.. In all of our hearts..We love you so. Happy Birthday," Michele wrote to her 4.3 million Twitter followers about her boyfriend and co-star.
The late "Glee" star died last July at age 31 of a toxic mix "involving intravenous heroin use combined with the ingestion of alcohol." The actor's body was found in his Vancouver, Canada, hotel room. His death came just months after he voluntarily checked himself into rehab for substance abuse.
Michele also paid tribute to the actor and his character in an episode titled "The Quarterback."
"I only have happy memories of Cory," Michele told the April 2014 issue of Seventeen Magazine. "He was not his addiction - unfortunately, it won. But that wasn't who he was. Cory made me feel like a queen every day. From the minute he said, 'I'm your boyfriend,' I loved every day, and I thank him for being the best boyfriend and making me feel so beautiful."
Monteith's mother, Ann McGregor, also shared moving words about her son to her twitter followers on Friday, writing "Maybe it is a blessing that Cory's birthday is on Mother's Day."
In April, the actress admitted to Glamour U.K. magazine that she and Monteith had discussed having children before his death, stating, "We talked about a lot of things. We talked about children and what we would look like when we grew old and who would be fat and how we would stay thin. We talked about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do."
