Lili Reinhartthinks her lateRiverdalecostarLuke Perryis still with her in spirit.
“I had a dream last night that I saw Luke… and I hugged him so hard and cried into his shoulder, telling him how much we all miss him,”she wrote. “Looking back on it this morning, I think his spirit was visiting me in my sleep, letting me know he’s smiling brightly on the other side ✨.”
Reinhart plays Betty Cooper on the popular CW series, the friend and neighbor ofKJ Apa‘s Archie Andrews. Perry appeared on the show as Archie’s dad Fred Andrews.
Perry suffered a stroke last February, and a sourcetold PEOPLEhe never regained consciousness.
Last March, Reinhartshared a moving messageto her Instagram Stories hours after the news of Perry’s passing.
“When someone you love, gets taken from you. And the small circumferences surrounding you is stuck. Frozen in a moment. Of loss. And shock. Yet the people passing you are moving at full speed,” she wrote at the time. “Did they not feel the earth shake? Or slow? Can they hear the thoughts screaming in my head? His name. His face. Memories. Flashes. Of a friend. A lost friend.”
She continued, “We always expect the earth to stand still. For the universe to grieve the loved ones we have lost, along with us. But it keeps moving. Maybe as a sign that we should too. The movement of strangers, like a wave taking us with them.”

“So we ebb and flow with the passage of others, coasting off their energy and conserving our own. Because it’s too hard to give anything right now. To anyone. Except for him,” she shared. “The one we’ve lost. And I pray that he’s silently moving in tandem with us. Guiding us through the waves even when we can’t swim.”
The star also shared her grief on Twitter,writing, “I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us.”
