Combs' tribute serves as a reminder of the profound impact Doherty had on her life. "There is a hollow in my chest and I can't seem to catch my breath," she wrote. "A part of me is missing even though I know exactly what you would say to me right now. I know exactly what you would tell me to do right now. I know your undying spirit will live in me and my kids who you loved as your own."
Combs went on to describe Doherty's unwavering determination and her dedication to her loved ones. "You taught me the meaning of family," she said. "You were and will be forevermore my sister. I love you."

In another Instagram post, Combs shared more photos of the two of them, accompanied by the caption, "Heaven got a little bit louder. You know where I'll be waiting. #Legacy @thehouseofhalliwell." The hashtag refers to the "Charmed" rewatch podcast they had planned to host together, "The House of Halliwell."
Doherty had recorded the first two episodes of the podcast and had even hinted at the possibility of participating in a reboot. In the latest episode, Combs revealed that Doherty "was really looking forward to this," adding that they "had big, big plans for this year. She didn’t think she was going anywhere anytime soon."
Combs spoke of Doherty's love for "Charmed" and her excitement about rewatching it with fresh eyes. "I don’t think anybody loved ‘Charmed’ more than she did," Combs said. "And that’s a fact. And it’s also a fact that she’s probably laughing at all of us right now being super sad. I mean, there’s a degree of sadness that she does want."
As Combs continues to navigate her grief, she finds solace in the memories she shared with her beloved friend. Her tributes are a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the profound impact that Doherty had on her life and on countless others.
