"With just three words and an old baby photo, Paul Walker's 16-year-old daughter provided a poignant and emotional tribute to the late actor on the first anniversary of his tragic death," wrote the Daily News' Ethan Sacks. "Sunday's tribute came one year to the day of the fiery crash that claimed the life of Paul Walker, 41, and the driver, Roger Rodas, the actor's business partner and friend."

Investigations by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office and the California Highway Patrol reported that Rodas, a former racecar driver, topped speeds of 100 miles per hour in a Porsche Carrera GT when the crash occurred on a street,
according to CNN.
Kristine Rodas, Rodas's widow, filed a civil lawsuit against Porsche, claiming that a defect in the vehicle and not speed caused the crash, noted CNN. In September, U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez dismissed four of the five grounds for the lawsuit, finding that the complaint did not include enough specifics.
"He only granted a partial dismissal with leave to amend, which we will," Rodas lawyer Mark Geragos told CNN in September.
Bernd Harling of Porsche Cars North America told CNN that the lawsuit contradicts the findings of the investigation by law enforcement.
"As you know, the crash was subject of a very detailed investigation by the authorities, both the California Highway Patrol and the L.A. County Sheriff's Office," Harling told CNN. "The reports showed that driving at a high speed in a negligent manner caused the crash. Both concluded that there was no mechanical defect of the vehicle involved."
Walker was filming "Furious 7" at the time of his death. The final installment of the franchise is scheduled to hit theaters on April 3.
