Country singer Drake White as well as his wife, Alex have confirmed the tragic passing of their daughter, born at 29 weeks.

Named Della Elizabeth White, she passed soon after her birth, 7 days earlier.

"On Sunday, August 31st our precious daughter, Della Elizabeth White, went peacefully to be with Jesus. We are so thankful for the holy moments God gave us with her," Alex wrote in an Instagram post.

She continued, "The Lord has been so near and close to us during this difficult time. He has held us up and sustained us through it all. We are heartbroken and soul tired, but we know we will get through this difficult time with the strength, peace, and joy that only our Heavenly Father can provide. May Della be held in the arms of Jesus until we see her again someday.”

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18. I am dying from my grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Misery has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within. But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, 'You are my God!' My future is in your hands. -Psalm 31:10, 14-15,” she added.

Fans expressed their condolences for the loss in the comment section of the post.
