For the first time since the tragic death of her cherished 2-year-old daughter was made public, Jordanna Barrett, Shaquil Barrett’s wife, has released a statement.
In a post that included a priceless photo of her daughter, Arrayah, Jordanna expressed gratitude to everyone for their kind words. “I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for their kind words, flowers, prayers, and thoughts. Never again will the world be the same. ”.
She will always have a special place in my heart because Arrayah was the apple of my eye. You have my unending love, my child. Really, I’m sorry. Please take care of your parents, siblings, and mum until we speak again. ”.
“You are loved by us now and forever. I can’t wait to give you a bear hug and catch another glimpse of your priceless smile. Anything I could do for you. ”.
The sports world expressed sorrow and condolences after news reports confirmed the death of Arrayah Barrett, Shaquil Barrett’s 2-year-old daughter.
Barrett plays linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers reportedly released a statement on April 30 in which they shared the tragic news.
All members of the Buccaneers family are devastated by the tragic news of today. Shaq, Jordanna, and the Barrett family are in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly trying time. We offer our love and support as they start to process the profound loss of their beloved Arrayah, even though no words can truly comfort them at this time. ”.
Arrayah allegedly drowned in the family pool, according to police. On Sunday morning, when it was reported that she had fallen into the water, she was taken to a nearby hospital. The hospital declared the 2-year-old dead.
According to police, the accident is still being investigated. However, according to early findings, “the circumstances of the accident don’t appear to be suspicious in nature,” according to TMZ.
While neither Shaq nor his wife, Jordanna, have released a statement, Shaq’s most recent Instagram post on April 19 marked Arrayah’s second birthday.
“To my adorable girl, happy second birthday. So cute and sweet. Our family is now complete thanks to you. “Baby girl, I love you!”.
To express their condolences to Shaq, Jordanna, and Arrayah’s three siblings, a number of his teammates, including Tom Brady, used social media. Brady added the phrase “The Bradys love you” and a red heart emoji to a picture of the Barrett family.
Love you, brother,” said Granger Smith, a former country music star who is now a pastor and who also lost one of his children to drowning. ”.
More kids between the ages of 1-4 drown in the United States than from any other cause of death, according to the CDC. The second most common cause of unintentional injury death for kids aged 5 to 14 is drowning, behind auto accidents. ”.
According to the CDC, swimming pools are the location of choice for drowning deaths in children ages 1-4. Anyone can drown; it frequently goes unnoticed and can occur in a matter of seconds.
During this heartbreaking time, our prayers and thoughts are with the Barrett family.
