Criscilla Anderson of Netflix's reality show "Country Ever After" has died of colon cancer.
On Criscilla's Instagram account, her friend, the photographer Lindsey Villatoro, shared the message Criscilla wrote before passing on.
"If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus — peacefully and surrounded by love. Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply. I am not gone… I’m Home," Criscilla began before addressing each of her four children, Ethan, Savannah, Emmarie, and Everleigh.
"I am watching over you. When a moment feels warm, familiar, or too beautiful to be coincidence — that’s me. I’m still mothering you. I’m still yours," she said.
Criscilla made sure to include her circle of women, whom she referred to as sisters, and thanked her family "for loving me so unconditionally."
Criscilla was first diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2018. Three years later in 2021, she was declared in remission.
She was previously married to country star Coffrey Anderson. Their lives were put out in the public on the Netflix reality show "Country Ever After."
On Instagram, Coffrey posted his own tribute to Criscilla saying she "defined strength and fighter like no other person on the planet."
"Heaven gained a star today," he said.
