“I just wish he was here instead,” Leach continued, explaining that the family “laid a tiny blue cape with a ‘C’ on it over his casket to celebrate our little Hero Crew. It was Jeff’s idea and I loved it. Thank you to everyone who made it today, your support means so much to us. ? #crewscrew #blueforcrew.”

The Leach family made the decision to donate Crew’s organs, and the hospital where he was being treatedheld an honor walkfor the infant three days after his death.
“Our sweet Crew went to be with Jesus today,” Leachwrote on Instagramon December 30. “Right now Crew is dancing and playing in Heaven with Jeff’s brother, great grandparents, a little brother I never met, and some very special little boys. And one day we hope we to meet the 3 or 4 little lives that he has saved. But right now there’s a big hole in my heart and my arms feel empty.”
Leach has been very open about how difficult it has been for her to deal with Crew’s sudden death.
“It’s all just too much. All of it. I know God has a plan for this, but I’m really really mad at him right now,” she wrote inanother Instagram postthe day before the honor walk that showed her curled up on the floor.
“It’s all too much. I’m sorry to vent, but this is my heart. And I need all the prayers to get through this.”
