Big brother didn’t want to leave his sister
In a very touching and sad message, he reached out to all the friends and family who wanted to say goodbye to their dear daughter and asked them to get in touch.
Matt asked his followers to keep big brother Jackson in their thoughts and prayers because he didn’t want to be away from his sister.
Not long after Jackson told his little sister goodnight and that he loved her, she sadly passed away.
‘Sweet girl loved helping people’
A few hours later, the family shared on the Facebook page Hope for Addy Joy – Fighting DIPG that their daughter had passed away.
She moved on from this life to the next just like she lived: with determination but also calmness, and with her family by her side. At the end, she felt no pain.
“While this is only goodbye for now we miss our baby girl terribly.”
The family gave Addy’s brain and spine tumors to science so that they could help find ways to save other kids from going through the same thing.
“Our sweet girl loved helping people and giving gifts so we thought this would be an excellent way of showing her giving heart,” they wrote in a Facebook post.
Everyone knows someone who has been impacted by this terrible illness, but it’s especially heartbreaking when it happens to kids.
Rest in peace little angel Addy.
