#‎prayfortalia‬ It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings.

God speed little one, may you be free from pain and suffering, may your soul feel the light and love that you brought to so many of us on this Earth during the short time you were her with us.

Talia was first diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, an aggressive form childhood cancer that affects nerve tissue, back in 2007. To cope with her condition, especially the hair loss that came with rigorous chemo treatments, the charming Florida teen soon turned to filming online makeup videos to help boost her confidence and inspire others, they ultimately garnered more than 39 million views, landing her an appearance on Ellen and an incredibly touching initiation as an honorary CoverGirl.
