It was followed by Anderson’s own message: “If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus — peacefully and surrounded by love. Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply. I am not gone… I’m Home.”

The hip hop dancer also expressed gratitude to her family and Lindsey for helping her through the battle against cancer. She concluded her message, “Be gentle with each other. Hold my children close. And remember: heaven isn’t as far away as it feels.”
