One the one-year anniversary of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds’ deaths, Billie Lourd took Instagram to honor the passing of her mother and grandmother. Fisher died on Dec. 27, 2016 after suffering a heart-related emergency on an international flight. The tragic loss was doubled when Fisher’s mother, Debbie Reynolds, died the next day of a stroke.

The 25-year-old actress posted a couple photos on Instagram to mark the sad day. In one set, Lourd is standing in front of the Northern Lights in Norway. “My momby had an otherworldly obsession with the northern lights, but I never got to see them with her. We journeyed to northern Norway to see if we might 'see the heavens lift up her dark skirts and flash her dazzling privates across [our] unworthy irises.' And she did. I love you times infinity,” Lourd captioned the post. She also used a long string of emojis—a favorite art form of her mother's—to spell out “She drowned in moonlight strangled by her own bra,” a memorable quotation from Fisher’s autobiographical humor book Wishful Drinking. There’s also a photo of her embracing her mother at a Star Wars: The Force Awakens event.

The newest photo is a black-and-white snapshot featuring a baby Fisher with mother Debbie Reynolds in a car. Lourd captioned the photo in emojis, spelling out “Abadaba,” a nickname Fisher had for Reynolds.
