Eric Sweeney, who is rumoured to be Lipp’s personal trainer, paid tribute as he describes her as a “wonderful human.”
He wrote:
My heart is absolutely broken. You were such a wonderful human, full of promise and drive.”
He continued by saying:
One of the few people I’ve ever met that was truly reaching for greatness. And I will never forget you.
“It is beyond my mind’s capacity today to think that I won’t see you this week …or ever again. We were just cracking the code.”
He further told that he will never be the same after becoming her friend. He thanked each and every moment.
All of our discussions, both personal and professional.
“The laughs, the tears, and every emotion in between. I will remember all of them. I am grateful for all of them.”
