Allison Holker is showing appreciation for her supporters following her family’s tragic loss.
Following her husband Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ death at age 40 last month, the So You Think You Can Dance alum, 35, thanked her 3.8 million Instagram followers for “all the love and support” they’ve shown her family since his death.
“It has been very challenging and emotional,” she said. “But you guys have brought so much hope and inspiration to us by sharing stories and memories and moments and different ways that Steven impacted your life.”
Holker said: “He was someone that was just beautiful, and he lived his life from love. And he made you feel a certain way.”
“My family and I have always said that we wanted to make sure that our purpose was lived out by bringing joy to people, joy to people’s homes, from dance or love,” she added in Saturday’s post.
“And that’s not going to change for us. It’s going to feel a little bit different, but we know that that’s our purpose, and we’ll still do that to this day. And I hope that we can remember the feeling he gave us, and that we can still move from there.”
“We can still move and choose love. And we can choose grace. We can still choose kindness.”
“I will always be there for you guys,” Holker concluded. “And I appreciate you being there for us at this moment. It goes a really far way for us. So thank you.”
