My heart hurts for Brandon, Zoe, and Kimber," Passante wrote on Instagram. "I unfortunately lost a parent and a brother to similar situations. I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares. I assure you they do!! You are not alone."

She also offered words of encouragement to anyone who suffering emotional distress and feeling alone in the world.
