Virginia Giuffre’s family shared a handwritten note she left behind before dying by suicide.
“Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and we stand together to fight for the future of victims,” Giuffre’s note read, which was shared by her sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, via Facebook on Tuesday.
“Is protesting the answer? I don’t know. But we’ve got to start somewhere,” she added.
Alongside the note, Roberts wrote that she thought it was “important that the survivors know that she’s with you and her voice will not be silenced.”
“I know that it’s so important, and her wish is that we continue to fight,” Roberts added.
Page Six previously reported that Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew and the late Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, died by suicide a week ago. She was 41.
In a statement to People, her family said she took her own life “after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure. The light of her life were her children Christian, Noah, and Emily,” her relatives added.
“It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realized she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others.”
News of Giuffre’s death came several weeks after she claimed she was hit by a school bus and only had “days to live.”
In late March, the mom of three shared a gruesome hospital selfie of her bruised face to Instagram, telling her followers about the “worst start to a new year.”
She shared that she had “gone into kidney renal failure” with doctors giving her “four days to live.”
The following day, a spokesperson for the Western Australia Police Force (WAPF) cast doubt on Giuffre’s alleged claims, saying they received a report of a “minor crash” between a bus and a car in Neergabby, Australia, on March 24.
The vehicle reportedly sustained damages, but police claimed there “were no reported injuries as a result of the crash.”
The SOAR foundation founder’s family hit back at the car crash doubters, telling the Mirror that she remained “in serious condition while receiving medical care.”
Six days after the crash, Giuffre was reportedly released from the hospital in Perth, Australia.
In 2021, Giuffre sued Andrew for sexual assault, claiming he allegedly raped her when she was a teenager as part of the Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
She and the Duke of York, who denied any wrongdoing, settled the case out of court the following year.
Before Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, she stripped her son Andrew’s military titles and patronages.
