I will take some time to support my children after their mother passed away. But I want you to know that as we get healthier in the coming weeks and months, I will be able to feel the love you have for us.
Travolta and his family will lean on each other as they navigate the grieving process and find a way forward. Their journey serves as an inspiration to others who have experienced loss and reminds us all of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and cherishing the time we spend together.
