Two young lives, and that of their grandmother, were cut short because of a reckless driver who was reported to have been reading text messages at the time of the crash.
What was supposed to be a day of fun for the Newville family turned into a tragedy.
It was back in 2017 when Linda irie, 50, was taking her three grandchildren five-year-old Jace Newville, nine-year-old Brooklynn Newville, and their cousin Isabella Anthony, 6, for a ride to pick a lamb for their Easter photoshoot. Unfortunately, as she was driving down the Turner Turnpike near Wellston, Oklahoma, they were rear ended by a 17-year-old man, who forced Irie’s car to collide with two other vehicles.
Irie, Jace, and Brooklynn were pronounced dead at the scene. Isabella was the only survivor.
Brian and Shaneé Newville, the killed children’s parents, were inconsolable. Their world shattered in a million pieces and moving on was never an option, not even today, seven years after the tragic crash.
“We’ve had to move a couple times, can’t really walk into the house anymore, see where the kids used to be,” said Brian said.
Shaneé, who’s since separated from Brian, shared an emotional Facebook post: “Being alive is hard. I wake up and cry, take a shower and cry, put on my make up and cry.” Shaneé, who also lost her mom in the crash, continued, “The people who loved me the most are gone. It feels like god took them on vacation with Mima. But it isn’t the truth, they are never coming back.”
Months following Jace and Brooklynn’s passing, their parents finally gathered the strength to go through their stuff when they stumbled upon Brooklynn’s bucket list, covering a large range of things she dreamed to see and do.
There were plenty of things written down such as seeing a moose, scuba diving, getting a drone, visiting an ice bar in Alaska and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.
“She always wanted to go hunting with me,” Brian, unable to stop tears from running down his face, said. “Never got a chance to.”
At the time, the parents said they would do all it takes to live out Brookie’s dreams for her.
A year after the tragic accident, Noah DeDear, of Durango, Colorado, was charged with three counts of manslaughter after he was accused of causing the crash that killed Irie and her two grandchildren.
At the time he caused the crash, DeDear was days away fro his 18th birthday and is facing trial as an adult.
He denied reading text messages on his phone at the time of the incident, but confessed he was texting his grandma and his girlfriend moments before.
Brian, furious with the constant delays of the trial, told News 4 in 2019, “This doesn’t make any sense. Why somebody can kill three innocent lives, two children and a grandmother, and still be allowed to walk free, while the family is sitting here in pain, agony, wanting closure and we can’t get it.”
Finally, in 2021, a selection of jury was made, the family announced.
They wish no one ever experience the pain of losing a child and are urging drivers to never use their phones while driving by setting up a campaign “Put it Down.”
“We are putting out our campaign, Put it Down, so people will put their phones down,” Brian said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s your phone, or food, it’s anything in the car, while you’re driving: Put it down.”
We are so sorry for the loss of these two beautiful souls and their grandma. May they rest in peace.

On March 22, 2024, Kate Middleton shared a video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis. At the same time, King Charles is also battling cancer and is receiving weekly treatments in London. Amidst their fight with the disease, it is Queen Camilla and Prince William who have been performing royal duties.
It’s safe to say that the royals are going through rough times, and that didn’t start with Kate’s and Charles’ diagnosis.
Unfortunately, what triggered relationships to be affected and bridges to be burned was Harry and Meghan‘s decision to step down from their royal duties some four years ago. They took a flight to America, which they referred to as to a “Freedom Flight,” and left Britain behind in order to get away from the media scrutiny.

However, what happened was just the opposite. Instead of turning to a quiet life they claimed they longed for, Harry and Meghan got exposed in the media as never before.
They gave Oprah an interview in which they opened up of the royal life, accusing the members of the Firm of racism and turning a blind eye to Meghan’s mental issues.
The most startling revelation came when Meghan asserted that discussions had taken place within the palace regarding the potential darkness of Archie’s skin.
When questioned by Oprah about this, Meghan responded, expressing her inability to probe further into the matter. She refrained from disclosing the identity of the individual involved, stating that it could cause significant harm to them.
What added fuel to the fire was the couple’s Netflix series and Harry’s book Spare in which he revealed plenty of sensitive details about his family. Among the rest, he spoke of his father and how he didn’t hugged him when the news of his mother’s passing reached him, said he wondered if Camilla would be cruel to him “like all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” and discussed the alleged feud between Meghan and Kate.

Harry wrote that on their wedding day, Kate made Meghan cry and detailed the alleged row between Meghan and Kate whose relationship could be described as picture perfect back in the day when the two could be seen hanging out together during numerous royal occasions, as well as a tennis match.
According to Harry, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.
However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.
“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”
“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.
Kate replied with, “Fine.”

Harry further wrote that when he arrived home, he found his then future wife sobbing on the floor. “It was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”
In their book Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed that “Meghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends,” and that “their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”
According to them, Kate wasn’t welcoming and didn’t take Meghan under her wing as most people expected. Out of everyone in the family, she knew best what it was like to be getting inside the Firm as a ‘newcomer.’
“Meghan was disappointed that she and Kate hadn’t bonded over the position they shared, but she wasn’t losing sleep over it,” Durand and Scobie wrote, adding that “Meghan would far rather have had Kate check in on her during the most difficult times with the press.”

However, when the Sussexes learned of Kate’s surgery and Charles’ cancer diagnosis, they reached to them. Harry jetted to his homeland to spend time with his father. The trip to his homeland was swift, and of course, it didn’t end without controversy. The two were said to have had several “warm exchanges” during Harry’s visit, and their meeting lasted about 30 minutes. However, that Harry could possibly return to royal life was not something William was having a bar of.
“Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he [William] would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now,” a source shared with The Mirror.
Prince William was said to had no intentions of meeting with his brother, and as per Radar Online, Camilla wasn’t happy with the fact Harry met Charles without the Palace’s approval.
“Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude,” a source is said to have told the National Enquirer.

The same report stated that Harry asked from Camilla to leave the room because he wanted to talk to his father in private. “I’m told Camilla was outraged,” the source went on. “She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years and couldn’t wait to let him have it.”
The source continued: “Camilla has taken it all on the chin, but using her husband’s cancer as a ‘loving son’ PR stunt was the last straw. After the father-son reunion, I hear she told Harry he’s a disgrace to his father, the family, and the monarchy – and she left no doubt he isn’t wanted back!”
According to royal author Lady C (Lady Colin Campbell) the Harry and Meghan feud actually has brought King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton closer together.
She stated that the four senior royals are “almost a unit,” adding that they “function in keeping with the best interest” of each other and not only the monarchy.
“Because they’re all very decent, family orientated, and loving people who want everything to go as well as it can. They’re very positive, the four of them. All this adversity, not only the health issues, but all of the problems with Harry and Meghan has brought them all together,” Lady C said.

Further, she claimed that the chances of King Charles asking from the Sussexes to return to their royal duties are nonexistent.
Moreover, Lady C claimed that Harry and Meghan don’t regret leaving royal life.
“I don’t think Meghan is capable of regret, she isn’t Kate. Her personality type is not that of somebody who learns from their mistake, and she blames everybody else for her errors;” Lady C said on GB News.
“She’s tried every trick in the book to keep herself absolved of all responsibility. I’ve been told that she is enraged by the situation because no matter what she does, it flops. No matter what Catherine does, even when she does nothing, it succeeds. And I mean, that’s infuriating for her personal life.”
“You see, it was it wasn’t only about the position, it was about the money,” she concluded. “Meghan came into the Royal Family with the expectation that she would be able to milk those udders and that she was going to be able to end up having a billionaire lifestyle.”

A California woman named Lauren Wasser is sharing her life story in order to prevent other women to go through the ordeal she has gone through all because of a common product.
Back in 2012, this model went to the hospital because she experienced flu like symptoms that wouldn’t go away. Sadly, once doctors ran tests, they determined that it wasn’t flu that caused Lauren discomfort but toxic shock syndrome caused by bacterial toxins.
It was determined that the cause which led to the infection was a tampon. If left for long hours, tampons can cause this infection which leads to a toxic shock syndrome or TTS.
Sadly, Lauren was in coma for over a week and doctors were forced to amputate her leg because of the infection upon awakening. At the time, she was only 24 years old.
Ever since this tragic event, Lauren made it her goal to raise awareness and fighting a legal battle against Kotex Natural Balance, the brand of tampons that caused her to react so severely.
In a few months, I’m inevitably going to have my other leg amputated. There’s nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is help make sure that this doesn’t happen to others,” Lauren tells The Daily Mail.
“Considering that the vagi**a is the most absorbent part of a woman’s body and is a gateway to many of our vital organs, it is crucial that consumers know the reality of what could happen to them,” she writes in InStyle.
Following the second amputation, Lauren posed alongside Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, who also had her legs amputated.
“Life is about to be so different, again! I’m in great spirits though and ready for my next chapter. ???♀️??♂️ // photo by my love @camraface,” she wrote in the caption.
We are cheering for Lauren who is determined to live her life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles and the pain she was forced to go through.

The news of the separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took the world by storm. All of a sudden, one of the most famous and most influential Hollywood couples was no longer a thing and fans wondered what led to the break up of what seemed to be a perfect relationship.
Their lengthy custody battle made their divorce one of the nastiest ones the public has ever seen taking place between celebrities.
When Jolie filed for divorce, she stated that she questioned her husband’s parenting method claiming Pitt allegedly attacked Maddox during a fight. This triggered an investigation in which the Los Angeles County Department of Children got involved but no charges were pressed.
Now, years after their separation, reports are that a new court filing has alleged that Brad Pitt’s “physical abuse” against his ex-wife began before the now infamous 2016 plane incident.

Things turned even more heated between the exes over the sale of a French winery they bought while still together.
In 2022, Pitt sued his former spouse’s company Nouvel for selling her half of the winery claiming the two had an agreement not to sell their part without the approval of the other and her act of selling her part “jeopardize[d] the reputation of the business that Pitt so carefully built.”
On January 21, 2021, Jolie emailed her ex-husband, and that email became public. In it, she states that she writes “with a heavy heart,” informing Pitt of her decision to sell Miraval, “a business that is centered around alcohol.” Many believe this is a reference to the above mentioned plane incident during which Pitt allegedly chocked Maddox and then poured alcohol on her and the children.

The Maleficent star further wrote, “Even now impossible to write this without crying.
“Above all, it is the place we brought the twins home to, and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory. A place…where I thought I would grow old…. But it is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family.
“Miraval for me died September 2016,” she continued, “and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that.”
It was reported at the time that Pitt offered to buy her part but the business deal failed as a result of their ongoing divorce proceedings.
Jolie struck back, submitting sealed documents which involved information regarding the plane incident, after which Pitt asked Jolie to sign an NDA which prohibited her from “discussing outside of court any of Pitt’s personal conduct toward her or the family” for the sale of the property.
She dubbed the request an “unconscionable gag order.”

News reports suggest that fresh papers from Jolie’s legal team were submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, April 4, which imply that the physical abuse by Pitt started before the plane incident.
“While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him,” a copy of the motion obtained by CNN read.
The papers don’t provide further details but intent to “prove through through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his own misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA.”
Pitt hasn’t spoken of Jolie’s action, but a source close to him was reported to have said, “This is a pattern of behavior – whenever there is a decision that goes against the other side they consistently choose to introduce misleading, inaccurate and/or irrelevant information as a distraction.
“There was a lengthy custody trial that involved the entire history of their relationship and a judge who heard all the evidence still granted him 50/50 custody.”

The bond between King Charles and Kate Middleton has always been an extraordinary one. Currently, they both receive treatments for cancer. The news of Charles’ cancer diagnosis following a procedure for an enlarged prostate came around the same time when the Palace announced The Princess of Wales would be undergoing a planned abdominal surgery.
However, while the King detailed his exact diagnosis which required a surgery, Kate hadn’t done that.
Although Kate is entitled not to provide any medical details, the public wasn’t happy she kept the exact reason of her abdominal surgery private. As per the Palace, she was supposed to recover from her surgery and be able to return to her royal duties around Easter, but then, on March 22, amidst the rumors and speculations surrounding her health and whereabouts, Kate released a video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis which was discovered by doctors after running tests following her surgery.

“My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she said in video, among the rest, and asked for privacy.
In the absence of Kate and Charles, it is their respected spouses, Prince William and Queen Camilla, who stepped in and took on most of the royal duties.
Over the years, Kate and Charles has shown that the bond between them is truly an unbreakable one.
Prince William and Kate MIddleton arrived at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the thanksgiving service marking Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, then-Prince Charles blew Kate a kiss, an act highly adored by royal fans who were quick to comment with one writing that Kate is the daughter Charles has always wanted.

When Kate disclosed her diagnosis with the public, she received support from fans and family, and of course, King Charles was among them. Charles said he was “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did” and added that the monarch has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks.”
Speaking of her importance and influence within the royal family, it has been said that Kate is the reason for the strong relationship between Charles and William, which hasn’t always been the perfect one. In fact, the father and son has gone through some rocky times over the years and their relationship was on and off, but Kate played an essential role in bringing them closer together.
Speaking on The Royal Beat, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter explained that Prince William and King CHarles’ relationship “hasn’t always been the easiest.”
Moreover, she stated that Kate Midleton has been the key person in helping them establish a tighter bond, as she acts as a “healing balm.”
“I think we can look at Kate – she’s so close to her own family, family is so important to her. [The Princess of Wales has been a really wonderful healing balm for Prince William and his father as well. Because that relationship hasn’t always been the easiest,” Arbiter said.
“I think she’s just managed to bring a real sense of warmth and camaraderie and family to the Royal Family.”

Victoria Arbiter further said that going through the same struggle of battling cancer at the same time has only made the bond between Kate and Charles even stronger, adding that they “would have found tremendous comfort in each other, going through something so similar.”
According to reports, during the time Kate was staying at the London Hospital following her surgery, and Charles was just starting his treatments at the time, he visited his daughter-in-law.
“He has always had a very good bond with her. I don’t think it is presumptuous to say that she is like the daughter he never had,” royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People. “He shares with William an impulse to protect her. They are in this together, Kate and the King.”
A source close to the family told the outlet that since Charles and Kate are “two patients going through a common health experience,” they “are bound to have a close connection.” Moreover, the source added. “imagine there was some comfort [for Kate] in seeing that it was possible to balance some private information without there being an imperative to share all.”

A day before she shared her diagnosis with the public, it was reported that Kate and the King had a private lunch together at Windsor Castle.
That the King is very supportive of Kate is very obvious, but according to royal experts he’s also very worried for her condition.
Speaking with Hello! Magazine, Robert Hardman, author of Charles III: New King, New Court, said, “It’s very clear that he’s extremely concerned about her. I think he wants to make sure as much as he can that if there’s anything he can do, he will do, because, for a very fit and healthy young mother, this is a different order of magnitude to someone having to deal with this in their 70s.”
He firther added: “I’m sure he’s been a source of comfort for her in the same way she’s probably been a source of comfort for him. I think it cannot but have brought them even closer together. He’s always had a huge regard for his daughter-in-law. He thinks she’s just wonderful.
“When people are in hospital, they don’t really want a fuss. But the fact was: the King was there, she was there, and the Queen was there with him as well. And they did go around to check and reassure the Princess. It’s a reminder that the Windsors are mortals like the rest of us. And we have to have great sympathy with the fact that they are undergoing an absolute shock of a lifetime, except they’re having to undergo it with all of us talking about it.”

Following Kate Middleton’s video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis, the speculations and rumors regarding her health and whereabouts were finally put to rest.
Her planned abdominal surgery that was announced by the Palace in mid-January was a hot topic especially because the Princess of Wales was nowhere to be seen long after the procedure. People wondered what was going on behind closed doors and why there were no statements issued from the Palace about her exact health state.
It was only after the media pressure that they wrote the Princess of Wales was doing well, which at the time didn’t serve as much of an assurance to the public.
This was until TMZ released a photo of Kate and her mother, which was followed by a photo of the princess posted on her social media on Mother’s Day.
The photo, on which she posed with her children on the patio, should have likely served as proof that Kate was indeed doing well, but shortly after it was published, experts noticed it was edited.

As a result, news agencies issued a “kill notice” and the princess took “the blame” for manipulating the photo.
While some dubbed Kate’s move of issuing an apology as brave, others, especially experts, said the Palace threw her under the bus.
Royal reporter Neil Sean argued that Kate “was probably in the rush” and most likely didn’t look closer at the details.
“I believe someone else did the Photoshop 100%. And I think that she’s being very gracious in accepting the blame,” Sean told Fox. “I think she is humiliated in some respects but doesn’t really understand what this fuss is about,” he said.
The royal reporter continued, “A lot of those particular agencies have been looking for slip-ups for years, because remember, before they would sell the rights to that picture. Catherine and William have bypassed it by doing their own picture. Now, it could be that they’ll have to revert back, at least for the next couple of pictures, to alleviate any claims of any misdemeanor type stuff. It’s going to be a mess for a while.”

Further, he said he believed the agencies created a fuzz about the photo as an attempt “to bully” Kate into providing them with more details.
“I think Catherine and the team genuinely thought, ‘Put a picture out on Mother’s Day; that will stop people nagging about where she is, why isn’t she speaking, all that sort of stuff.’ And what happened was the picture that they put together, they thought, ‘Well, we’ll just clean that up, make it look a little bit fresher.’ And now suddenly you’ve got a furor,” he concluded at the time.
But it weren’t just the news agencies that caused a stir. In fact, some experts believe that Harry and Meghan are partially to be blamed for fueling speculations surrounding the Princess of Wales, even though they haven’t publicly spoken about her.
According to Kinsey Schofield, a royal expert, the Sussexes have “warped” the public’s expectation regarding what the royal family should share with the public.
“I think this is a reflection of Harry and Meghan oversharing for the last four [years],” Schofield told Sky News about the many speculations and conspiracy theories about Kate’s health.
“I mean, for the last four years, we had a book, we had a reality show, we had multiple sit-down interviews. When Meghan Markle had her miscarriage, she announced it through the New York Times, like she wrote an op-ed announcing her miscarriage, and I just think it’s warped our expectations when it comes to… What we expect to hear about the British Royal family.”
The royal expert added, “It feels like Harry and Meghan have made it in a way more okay for us to try to push the envelope and try to ask for more when it comes to the privacy of the real working royals.”
On March 22, Kate finally spoke of her health and revealed that upon running tests following her surgery, doctors discovered the presence of cancer.
“My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Kate said among the rest.

“We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able. But for now I must focus on making a full recovery,” the princess added.
That the public and the media are demanding from the royals to share details from their personal life publicly would become the new “normal” according to a former long-time royal aide. According to them, the scandal with the Mother’s Day photo is just an example of that, adding that in one way, Kate has been ‘cursed.’
“There was no malintent. But it unleashed up a pent-up feeling that people wanted information — unfortunately, that’s the curse of being a modern royal” the former longtime palace aide said. “It was a complex reaction.”
“[The royal family] is vulnerable at the moment, and there will be an even greater appreciation that they are human beings with frailties like the rest of us,” the former palace aide continued. “They are so dedicated to their roles. I think you will find when Kate makes a full recovery, she will come back even more passionate.”

When it comes to the perfect home, different people have different preferences, but one thing that I guess most opt for are the spacious kitchens that would fit all of the appliances such as the coffee maker, the air fryer, and a bunch of other kitchen gadgets that facilitate our everyday life.
When you think about it, no matter how small the kitchen is, a good interior designer, or even some googling or browsing through Pinterest, can give you plenty of ideas of how to utilize the space.
Maybe you have noticed some people having cabinets over their fridge and thought they can’t be that useful because they are hard to reach, but the truth is that these cabinets can be used for storing different things that we don’t use everyday.
Below are some ideas that you may love.
Storage space for infrequently used kitchen gadgets:
These cabinets might be the perfect place for storing kitchen gadgets such as blenders, food processors, or waffle makers that we don’t use every day.
Canned products and baking essentials
The great thing about canned food is that it lasts for a long period of time so if you place your cans inside the cabinets over the fridge and forget about them for a while, they would still be perfectly great to consume.
Cookbooks
The top compartment of the cupboard is the perfect place for cookbooks. Most of us know the exact ingredients and measurements of our favorite dishes by heart so we don’t need to use the cookbooks that often.

Pantry items and spices
Similar to canned foods, there are likely items you have in your pantry that can fit nicely in such a cupboard. Or you might consider getting a small spice rack to keep your cooking spices up there.
Kitchen towels
Kitchen towels usually come in a bulk, so storing some of them in these cupboards isn’t a bad idea.

Fine china
What about the plates or sets of cutlery reserved for special occasions? It really makes sense to keep them above the fridge because that’s a safe place children can’t reach.
When accessing these cupboards it would be safer to use a stool or even a ladder.

Isabella Strahan, the daughter of Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, has been documenting her battle with cancer with videos she shares online as a form of support to those who are going through the same ordeal.
Recently, Isabella, who was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023 but disclosed the condition with the public in January 2024, shared with her followers that she had undergone another emergency surgical procedure.
The teen initially thought she was suffering from vertigo and experienced constant headaches, but once she went for a checkup, she received the devastating news that she had brain tumor. “The biggest one is I couldn’t walk in a straight line. That’s why I thought I had vertigo. And then I would also wake up very nauseous and have to throw up most days,” she explained in one of her YouTube videos.
That same video highlighted her artistic side, with her showing the drawings she created while receiving treatment.
On Wednesday, March 6, she let her fans know that she is “in a lot of pain” but still making her way toward recovery.
“I’m in so much pain,” Isabella said in a post-op clip, with her head completely wrapped in bandages. “This sucks,” she added.
“I was in so much pain earlier, I was like screaming. This is not fun,” she said, while explaining that the scar from her first procedure was cleaned and the bone was replaced with a titanium plate. “So now I’m part titanium.”
“Hopefully this is what was causing all my fevers and why I’ve been in the hospital for a week. So hopefully I will get to go home soon after I heal from this.”
What’s most important is that Isabella isn’t losing any of her positive attitude besides her condition and the chemo treatments she receives.
Michael, who is his daughter’s huge support, opened up about her battle and said, “She has bravely, bravely documented her journey on YouTube in hopes of helping other people with the same diagnosis feel supported and to know that they are not alone.”
Earlier this year, he spoke of her daughter on Good Morning America, affirming her strength. “I know she’s going through it, but I know that we’re never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this.”
“She’s always been strong, and this is something that is so personal,” Michael said in January. “I’m extremely proud.”
