"Happy Birthday to my late best friend @sonjad7777 Sonja Durham Dubois. #breastcancerawareness month is so important. Share your stories of survival and treatment plans with each other. Everyone's cancer is different. But the More we talk and share the more we learn. I have no words for you girl, just tears and dreams. & I know you're running Haus of Gaga from Heaven," Gaga captioned an illustration of her best friend.
