Country music singer Drake White and his wife, Alex, lost their baby girl, Della, after the infant was born at 29 weeks.
In her latest Instagram post, Alex revealed their daughter went peacefully to be with Jesus following her birth at 8:52 a.m. and passed away at 9:12 a.m. on Aug. 31. She also shared photos of her and Drake cradling the newborn.
“We are so thankful for the holy moments God gave us with her,” the country singer’s wife wrote. “The Lord has been near and close to us during this difficult time. He has held us up and sustained us through it all.”
Alex went on to write, “We are heartbroken and soul tired, but we know we will get through this difficult time with the strength, peace, and joy that only our Heavenly Father can provide. May Della be held in the arms of Jesus until we see her again someday.”
She then quoted the Bible verse, Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Alex also quoted a Bible verse, Psalm 31:10, 14-15. “I am dying from my grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Misery has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within. But I am trusting you, O lord, saying ‘You are my God!’ My future is in your hands.”
Alex shared that Della was born at 29 weeks, weighing 3lbs, 3.5oz, and measuring 13.24 inches.
