On Saturday, Bushrod, posted two pictures of his baby girl Jordyn Lynn Bushrod, to his Twitter account with her tiny body laying propped on his chest and her tiny hand wrapped around a woman’s polished fingernails.
“We knew there was issues before birth, but we were ready for your journey. Because of you Jordyn our family is stronger. You were going to be special. We were not expecting or ready for this,” Bushrod wrote in his Instagram message.
“Having you leave this earth after 1 week just hurts. My kids are my (heart emoji) and to never see you again will be tough BUT our GOD will get us through this.”
He continued: “We appreciate all the love and support that have been directed our way. Rest in Paradise ‘Jo-Jo’ and I will miss you forever baby girl?”
Bushrod’s teammate, Benjamin Watson, a tight end for the Saints, offered his condolences.
“We are with you. We love you. We are praying for you and mourning with you as best we know how,” Watson wrote in a tweet. “May God provide divine comfort to your entire family during this time and the days and years to come.”
