One of the people closest to the late Kristoff St. John, who played Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless, was, sadly, not present for his memorial. And in a heartfelt post, she explains why.

Russian-born model Kseniya Mikhaleva, who was engaged to St. John at the time of his death, took to Instagram to explain that she had applied for a special visa to come to the United States to attend St. John’s service, but she says that she was denied that request.

“The reply from the Embassy was ‘no.’ My heart is broken,” Mikhaleva wrote. “I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart, and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave. It is not right, not fair. I want to be with him, his family, and his friends.”

St. John’s fiancée also wanted people to know that she is not associated with online funds asking for any money. “I have not opened and am not planning to open any funds. Everything that you see was/is fake.”

What do you think? Post a comment!

“Fly, my love, and finally find peace,” Mikhaleva added. “Any person in my place would be torn into pieces. It’s scary, painful, and disgusting that I cannot be with my loved one and his family on his last journey to eternal peace. RIP, Kristoff St. John.”

Soap Hub extends deep condolences to Mikhaleva and St. John’s daughters, Paris and Lola, his ex-wife, Mia, and the rest of his family, and loved ones at this time.

It is with deep regret and sorrow in my heart that I make this statement. For a year, I was the happiest women on Earth. That changed in a second. I still cannot believe that Kristoff is gone, so early, so unexpectedly, one month after our last meeting in Moscow. In the two years that we were together, he taught me so much – how to love and be loved, how to open the best in other people, how to help people, and simply how to be a good human being. We planned to get married; we had many plans in the future together. With him gone, I have no idea what to do. My thoughts and prayers are, first of all, with his two wonderful daughters whom he loved so much, with every member of his family, with his friends, and with the people that watched him every single day on television. People for whom he played, people who inspired him to work and live. Also, I want to state that I have seen several funds claiming that they were opened by me. As of today, I have not opened and am not planning to open any funds. Everything that you see was/is fake. Right now, I want to be with him, his family, and his friends. I am getting thousands of support texts on my Facebook and Instagram and people are asking why I am not with him and how they can help. Several weeks ago I applied for an “emergency”visa for the funeral to say goodbye my fiancé and beloved. The reply from the Embassy was “No”. My heart is broken. I am going through this with a huge pain in my heart,and realize that I don’t have opportunity to say goodbye to him and put flowers on his grave. It is not right, not fair. Fly, my love, and finally find peace . Any person in my place would be torn into pieces. It’s scary, painful, and disgusting that I cannot be with my loved one and his family on his last journey to eternal peace.RIP @kristoffstjohn
