When we lose someone it's only natural to try and make some form of contact with that person. It seems you're doing it with the only thing available.
Thinking about someone over a long period of time as you've done over the years isn't really any different from seeing that person on a regular basis in the flesh.
Both remain in your consciousness just the same.
The knowledge of her death has saddened your memories, but you shouldn't allow this to tar them.
Remembering a person as you remembered them is the only way to pay any justice to anothers memory. In the long term, the inclusion of sadness is nothing less than unfair to that individual.
You ask for advice.
Next time you look up her pics on Facebook...smile.
