Next to a sweet picture of Dante, where he's sleeping like an angel, Brenda wrote sincere and heartfelt words expressing her love for her little one. “Thank you my love for giving me so much peace, I will always love you. I learned from you to be strong and to have a lot of faith and to know that the limits are only set by you," she began.

Furthermore, the actor asked his followers to continue their prayers Dante, who is now in heaven, and for his family who is grieving for his loss. “We say goodbye to you, Dante. This is my town, this is the church that saw me grow, these are my people, and in this space I where I give you away. To whoever would like to pray for our son, welcome! To whoever does so from their home, we’re eternally grateful,” he wrote.
