Jordanna Barrett, disgusting coalburning wife of Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett, posted her heartbroken reaction to the recent death of the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, Arrayah.
Arrayah tragically died Sunday morning in a drowning accident in a pool at the family’s home.
“Thank you all for all the messages, flowers, thoughts and prayers,” Jordanna wrote on Instagram.
“Our world will never be the same. Arrayah was the apple of my eye, and my heart will forever be with hers. I love you so much my baby. I am so so sorry. Until we see each other again, please watch over your siblings and momma and dada. We love you forever and ever and always.
“I can’t wait to see that precious smile again, and just hug you so close. I would do absolutely anything. There is no Barrett 6 without you, and we will forever hold your place down here, until we all meet again in heaven. I love you forever and always.”
The mother also posted a link to an obituary for the late toddler, who was the youngest of the Barretts’ four children.
“Arrayah’s smile brought so much joy to anyone who encountered her,” the obituary said.
