Meanwhile, Grey’s Anatomy’s Jessica Capshaw said, “What a beautiful tribute to your sister.
“I have had you and your family in my thoughts and prayers and I’m sending you all so much love.”

Meanwhile, her Emmy-nominated uncle is said to have “dropped everything” to race to his brother’s side as the family was plunged into grief and shock.
A source told journalist Rob Shuter that “Chad is his little brother, and the second he heard, Hollywood stopped mattering.”
“There was nowhere else Rob was going to be except Chad’s side.
“Rob knows there are no words that can fix this,” another source said.
“He can’t take away Chad’s grief. What he can do is be present, protect his brother and make absolutely certain he never has to face this alone.”
Chad and Kim also share their youngest daughter, ten-year-old Nixie.
“We are deeply heartbroken by the loss of our beloved Fiona,” the Lowe family wrote in a statement on September 29.
“She was a loving young girl who was smart, creative, and loved to dance.
“She was adored by her sisters, and she was deeply loved by her parents.
“In fact, she was the light of our lives. Her passing is devastating for our entire family and we ask for prayers and privacy at this time.”
The family ended the statement with the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and her cause of death was confirmed by a medical examiner on Thursday.
