The video showed the family on route to the cemetery, where they paid their respects at the marker and carefully surrounded it with colorful blooms. The video also included photos of Duggar’s three young sons standing near the grave, as well as a snapshot of Duggar and her husband posing behind it.
“💗Isla Marie Dillard, forever loved & forever our baby girl…hope you like the flowers! 🌸,” Duggar’s Instagram caption read.
The video’s comments section was flooded with condolence messages from friends and fans. Many praised the scenery as they assured the 19 Kids and Counting alum that her daughter was in a “beautiful resting place.”
“What a gorgeous day to celebrate a beautiful little soul! 💕🙏🏻💕,” one fan wrote as another offered “Big hugs to you both ❤️.”
“The boys helping 🥺🩷 sending the biggest hugs to your heart!” another Instagram user commented.
Duggar and her husband, who celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary over the summer, announced in April that their daughter died in utero four months into Duggar’s pregnancy. The family later shared photos from the April 19 ceremony during which they laid her to rest.
