On June 10th, her life was cut short.
A month later, Christina Grimmie is still mourned by the music industry.
Over the weekend, singer Tory Kelly uploaded "Blink of An Eye," an acoustic song to Youtube dedicated to her friend.
"Can"t help but think who you would be if you just had the chance to turn 23…" Kelly sings.
"It"s 2 a.m., I still don"t believe you"re gone.
"And the world keeps spinning on.
Kelly posted a message below the video, explaining the significance of putting pen to paper in honor of her friend.
"this song was written for christina grimmie after she passed away tragically," Kelly wrote.
"i needed to write this song. thank you to my good friend, zac poor, who was brave enough to take on the challenge of writing it with me.
"my heart was & is still so heavy when i think of her not being with us. however, i am still comforted knowing that i"ll get to see her again someday in heaven. my prayers go out to her family & loved ones.
"even though this song had specific meaning, more recently i"m overwhelmed at the pain & the brokenness in the world today, & so this is really just me grieving. at all of it.
"life is so short. thanks for listening, i love you guys."
Grimmie was shot to death by rabid fan, Kevin James Loilbl after an Orlando concert. The former Voice contestant was signing autographs when Loibl approached her and opened fired.
Grimmie"s brother Marcus tackled Loibl to the ground after (he then turned the gun on himself).

Last week, Marcus and his parents thanked the public for their outpouring of support in the wake of Grimmie"s death.
"As we have always known, Christina"s life was so very special, not only to us, but to everyone she touched with her joyful heart, beautiful voice and love for life and the Lord," the family said in a statement.
"Words cannot express what the many memorials, donations and tributes shared by Christina"s fans and those in the media and entertainment industry mean to us. She will live on in our hearts forever."
