In the days leading up to her death Reeva Steenkamp's excitement about Valentine's Day was clear.
"What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow??? #getexcited," the girlfriend of South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius tweeted.
She then received a series of replies, one of which was from a mother who said that her children would be making a card for their father.
Miss Steenkamp replied: "That sounds amazing! Wow that's what it's all about! It should be a day of love for everyone :) may it be blessed."
But February 14 ended up going terribly wrong for the 30-year-old. She was shot dead after Pistorius allegedly mistook her for an intruder.
Now Twitter and other social media is flooded with tributes to the model and law graduate.
Fellow model Melinda Bam said: "Heartbroken for #ReevaSteenkamp's family & for #OscarPistorius.This highlights how unsafe most South Africans feel because of crime#RIPReeva."

On Facebook, her cousin Deon Steenkamp said: "RIP cuz this is tragic we will always remember you for your stuning smile brighting up everyone world."
Miss Steenkamp had most recently been a celebrity contestant on South African reality TV show Tropika Island of Treasure 5.
The first episode of the show, which was filmed in Jamaica, was due to air this weekend.
She grew up in Port Elizabeth, where she studied law, but later moved to Johannesburg after signing a deal with cosmetics company Avon. She went on to model for FHM and feature in various advertising campaigns.
The Cape Town-born model described herself as someone who has "a passion for cars and cooking and prefers to read a book on her off days and spend quality time with friends and family".
She was from a family of horse trainers, who she said she was very proud of. Her father was well-known horse trainer Barry Steenkamp and the family is related to famous South African trainers the Amos brothers.
