Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling sweetly honored Universal Orlando Resort employee, Luis Vielma, as he was laid to rest this weekend.

The best-selling author first acknowledged Vielma's death directly after the nightclub shooting, once she learned he had worked at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

In a handwritten note accompanying a floral wreath, Rowling's penned the heartbreaking message: "To Luis, who died for love. You will never be forgotten."

Almost one week after deadliest mass shooting in American history, if you would like to help the Orlando shooting victims and their families, donations are being accepted on Equality Florida's GoFundMe page.
