LITTLE Women: LA star Christy McGinity and her boyfriend Gonzo Carazo “prayed” for their late daughter Violet on what would have been their baby’s first birthday.
Christy, 43, and Gonzo shared tributes to their late daughter Violet Eva, who passed away on March 20, 2020 at only two weeks old after she was born premature.
Gonzo exclusively told The Celeb Report how the couple honored their late daughter on her first birthday.
He said: “We both just made a post about her, said a prayer and just basically just went through photos on our phones from that day. I was just okay.”
Though Gonzo and Christie, who has two children from previous relationships, were unable to spend the day together, they both shared sweet tributes to their daughter.
Christie captioned a collage of photos of their daughter: “Today our Violet would have been a year old. Today we celebrate the two weeks we got to spend with our sweet girl. We cried when you passed away, we still cry today, although we loved you dearly, we couldn’t make you stay.
“Your Golden heart stoped beating, we laid you down to rest, God broke our hearts to prove, that he only takes the best. Violet Eva Carazo we miss, and love you so much. xo”
Gonzo wrote for his tribute: “Our Sweet Violet…You made me a dad and for that I’m forever grateful. You gave your Mom and I two amazing weeks that we’ll always treasure forever. We still cry and think about you everyday. Until we meet again my Angel.”
The couple said in a statement at the time of her death: “It is with our deepest sorrow that we send our baby girl Violet Eva Carazo to play with the angels.
“We were able to spend two weeks with our sweet baby girl and for that we are forever thankful.”
The couple previously told The Celeb Report that the funeral had been postponed because of Covid-19.
The couple chose to have a memorial for Violet in New York, where Gonzo and his family reside.
The Little Women: LA star previously told The Celeb Report: “We are going to have a memorial of some type and spread her ashes. I was hoping the ocean. I’m going to bring Violet’s ashes to New York as soon as it’s safe for me to fly.”
Christy, who suffers from asthma, said she is “really at risk” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The reality star said of her boyfriend at the time: “I’m proud of him. I’m sure he’s scared. I sure am. He’s my hero, my rock, and my love.”
