“She’d look in your eyes and speak deeply into you without any words. Eddie, the boys and myself are left with such a hole in our family and in our hearts. She was our daughter, our boy’s best friend. We’ve taken turns crying and consoling for a day and a half now and it’s far from over,” she continued, referring to her husband Eddie Cibrian and his two sons Jake, 11, and Mason, 15.
“We were so blessed to have her stumble into our lives, to have LovEd her with every inch of our being and to have her LovE us back just the same. They’ll never be another Eveie, she was one of a kind. There will always be great LovE and gratitude in our hearts for the years we were blessed to care for her.”

The “sudden loss” caused the “How Do I Live” singer, who is currently on tour, to postpone three of her shows, she wrote on Twitter.
Fans on both Instagram and Twitter showed their support for Rimes and her family as they mourn.

“Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! This breaks my heart! Sending prayers to you and your family,” another added.
“We, your fans, always have you in our hearts and our love, for you and all your family,” a third said on Twitter.
