Grayson, who had been battling brain cancer for more than 16 years, watched his younger sister play with various toys while he was still hooked up to a tracheostomy tube.
Rossi wrote the picture, which also featured images of her siblings and her partner of more than 13 years, “We love you Gray.”
The 44-year-old former reality star broke the tragic news of his passing on Instagram just one day before to the homage.
Our emotions always hung onto the hope that this day would not materialize, even if our reasoning minds warned us that it might happen.
“We are extremely heartbroken and grieved by Gray’s passing. Arroyo, Grayson Smiley was such a unique person. He was a fighter like no one had ever seen before while an angel on this planet. He battled every day to find joy in the littlest things despite his anguish and discomfort. Despite his situation, he was usually happy, singing, and dancing.
Rossi continued by referring to Grayson as a “genuine beacon of light and hope” in spite of the tragedy and saying that they will be “forever grateful for the numerous lessons gained from this little child.”
Michelle Arroyo, Smiley’s ex-wife and Grayson’s mother, also confirmed the news on her social media accounts.
