'HONORED AND TOUCHED'
Williams added: "
Each page had these in depth drawings depicting how you felt and what you were experiencing, all I can remember was how impressed I was, telling you how talented, and creative you were, honored and touched that you trusted me enough to even share with me something so personal.
"Because that's exactly the type of person you were."
Williams also shared two images of Gabby - one showing the two of them together as children.
He said there "wasn't a single person" in their hometown of Blue Point, New York, who "didn't know who she was."
Gabby was a "recurring influence" in his life "even though we were only a bunch of stupid kids when we first met", Brandon added.
Brandon added: "It absolutely breaks my heart that the rest of the world only knows you as a case file, a missing persons report, a victim.
"Because to your friends, your family, my family, me and Blue Point as a community, you were simply just Gabby, and that was more than enough." "
