“My angel has already been looking over her Manong for a while now. Now I can say she’ll be looking over me forever,” he captioned his post.

Kyle first disclosed Bella’s condition in June 2022 as he asked the public to include her “complete healing” in their prayers. Bella passed away in April 2023.
“I love you more than you will ever know ta. You are the most amazing sister anyone could ever ask for,” Kyle said in a tribute to her.
“Now more than anything I’m happy to know that you’re done with the year of fighting something you never deserved,” he stated. “You can finally smile, sing, dance, swim, and eat again. And don’t worry I know I didn’t lose my sister, I just got a new angel.”
