Oscar Pistorius' dead girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp was remembered on her South African reality show, "Tropika Island of Treasure" after being murdered by the athlete who shot her several times on Valentine's day alleging that he thought she was an intruder.

 In the tribute video, the 29-year-old briefly predicted about her life ending saying, "I think the way that you go out, not just your journey in life, but the way that you go out and make your exit is so important. You either made an impact in a positive way or a negative way".

The days leading up to Valentine's day the model tweeted, "What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow?" she asked her Twitter followers the day before.
