Brandi Redmond is mourning the loss of her mother-in-law, Jill Marie Redmond, who passed away in a car accident. The Real Housewives of Dallas cast member confirmed the sad news on Instagram on Saturday, October 10, also revealing that her nine-year-old daughter, Brinkley, was in the vehicle at the time and survived the crash.

“My husbands beautiful mom has gone on to be with our Savior and my sister in laws said it best...so I PLEASE ask that you keep my family in your prayers during this difficult time,” she wrote alongside a photograph of her mother-in-law and her three daughters.

Brandi also added, “I ask that you lift my sweet Brinkley up as she continues to heal and that God protects her heart and eyes from this tragedy. I am so thankful for her life. This is probably the most thankful yet pain I’ve ever felt.”

My husbands beautiful mom has gone on to be with our Savior and my sister in laws said it best...so I PLEASE ask that you keep my family in your prayers during this difficult time and I ask that you lift my sweet Brinkley up as she continues to heal and that God protects her heart and eyes from this tragedy. I am so thankful for her life. This is probably the most thankful yet pain Iâve ever felt. Repost from @girlisleptinmymakeup using @RepostRegramApp - This is our mom, Jill Marie Redmond. We spoke to her daily. To speak of her in past tense hurts beyond words. Hours ago we lost her in a tragic car accident. Thank you, Jesus, for saving our niece who was in the car with her. To know our mom was to love her. She was a shining light to all who were lucky enough to know her. She loved so fiercely. She felt so deeply. And she loved Jesus with all her heart. Her world was FAMILY. She loved her 4 children and many grand babies to the depths of her soul, and she left us doing what she loved most- caring for her grand babies. We are in shock and are experiencing an indescribable pain. We have not missed one week since we started this podcast journey. It has brought us joy and lots of growth and learning. But we are going to pause our podcast for now until we can talk and share with you again. Thank you for your love and support and it would mean so much to us for you to go listen to and share our episodes in the meantime. We even had the pleasure of having our mom on an episode. In our momâs honor, if you have a living parent please tell them how much you love and appreciate them, and hug your loved ones extra tight tonight and always. We love you. Shine bright and spread love and kindness. Love & grace, Lauren, Megan & Kristen

Hours ago we lost her in a tragic car accident. Thank you, Jesus, for saving our niece who was in the car with her,” they wrote.

The moving tribute went on to read, “To know our mom was to love her. She was a shining light to all who were lucky enough to know her. She loved so fiercely. She felt so deeply. And she loved Jesus with all her heart. Her world was FAMILY. She loved her 4 children and many grand babies to the depths of her soul, and she left us doing what she loved most- caring for her grand babies.
