On Wednesday, Jordanna Barrett took to Instagram to share a special photo post dedicated to the couple’s daughter Arrayah Sue Barrett.
The post featured a photo of the child from her second birthday. In the picture, Arrayah Barrett is wearing a baby shark shirt and a pink tutu.
In the photo’s caption, Barrett thanked the world for their condolences. However, she explained, “Our world will never be the same.”
“Thank you all for all the messages, flowers, thoughts and prayers. Our world will never be the same. Arrayah was the apple of my eye, and my heart will forever be with hers.”
Barrett then went on to address her daughter.
“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.”
Before concluding the post, Barrett inserted a URL link directed toward her daughter’s obituary.
The notice recounted the child’s impact on her family’s lives.
“Arrayah’s smile brought so much joy to anyone who encountered her. Everybody knew that Arrayah had her daddy wrapped around her finger and was the sunshine in her mama’s eyes. There was something about that sweet and sassy voice that just made your heart sing. Arrayah’s energy was unmatched. She loved to sing. She loved to laugh. She was SO smart. Arrayah Barrett had HER way with everyone. There was a sparkle in her eyes that drew your attention. Her endearing nature was so kind and magnetic…”
Furthermore, the notice included information regarding the child’s funeral, which will be held on Friday, May 5.
“A private funeral service will be held this Friday, May 5. In lieu of donations, the Barrett family is requesting all in attendance to honor Arrayah’s memory by wearing bright colors on Friday.”
