"My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier," she wrote in an Instagram post. "If you knew Grammy, you knew she had the biggest heart. She cared deeply for everyone and everything, no questions asked."

"She made up the silliest games just to make us laugh, and she believed in fairness, in putting others first, and doing good simply because it was the right thing to do," she said, noting there was "no limit" to the love her grandmother gave. "I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushtroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form.
