Lindsey wrote, “My heart is shattered to share this. I promised Criscilla I would walk this journey with her whenever she couldn’t stand on her own two feet, and I pray she knows how fiercely she was loved. Being by her side until the very end was the greatest honor of my life.”
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.”
She then addressed her four kids individually before writing, “My babies… I am watching over you. When a moment feels warm, familiar, or too beautiful to be coincidence — that’s me. I’m still mothering you. I’m still yours. #everybutterfly”
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.”
Later, her husband, country singer Coffey Anderson, shared an emotional tribute. Part of his message read, “Criscilla defined strength and fighter like no other person on the planet. Heaven gained a star today.”
Criscilla Anderson was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018. After undergoing treatment, she was cancer-free in 2021. However, in 2022, cancer returned, which severely affected her lymph nodes. In the last few months, Lindsey has continued to provide updates on Anderson’s health condition via her Instagram account.
