ORLANDO, June 19 — Harry Potter author JK Rowling sent a floral arrangement and a handwritten note to the funeral of Orlando shooting victim Luis Vielma, according to a report by E! Online.

In the note, Rowling wrote, “To Luis, who died for love. You will never be forgotten.”

A snap of the floral wreath and note was uploaded on Twitter with the caption, “I swear JK Rowling is the sweetest human on the planet.”

The wreath and note were prominently displayed near the altar where Vielma’s funeral service was held.

Rowling had earlier tweeted, “Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal. He was 22 years old. I can't stop crying. #Orlando.”

22-year-old Vielma is a student and a worker at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Orlando Resort.

Vielma was among the 49 people killed when gunman Omar Mateen went on a shooting rampage in an Orlando gay nightclub, Pulse, on June 12.
