“We used to call each other … ‘my person,'” Gilbert (right) says of Elias.
Gilbert first knew Elias as her hairstylist, but the two quickly became best friends.
Earlier in her life, Elias had struggled with addition to heroin and cocaine.
As her cancer progressed, she returned to drugs — and Gilbert became her enabler.
