“She fought such a tough incredible fight these past two years and she’s no longer suffering from all the torturous pain she has endured during this journey. Being your husband and caregiver has been such a blessing to me.”

“I am still in such disbelief and in denial that I just lost my best friend,” Caden continued the tear-jerking post.

“You were and always will be such a light in any room you fill Bailey, and such an inspiration to others. Your faith could move mountains Baby, unfortunately God had bigger plans for you Up Above. Until we meet again.”

Her sister, Ashley Rolfes, also shared her own tribute, posting a carousel of images on Instagram with the caption (via PEOPLE): “As of 2/7 at 10:30 pm, after a two-year battle of a terrible disease, my beautiful sister gained her angel wings.”

In a separate post shared to Bailey’s TikTok, the past few weeks were described as a ‘devastating nightmare’ for the content creator and her family.
