“We created an angel before heaven gained one,” she wrote in an Instagram caption announcing her pregnancy. “All you ever wanted was to be a father… I know you’ll be the best one from up above. Can’t believe I have to do it without you but knowing I’ll have a piece of you keeps me going. I can’t wait to meet the person that’s half you, half me. I love you forever, both of you.”
The tight end was 22 when he died.
