In a second Instagram post shared on Sept. 1, Madeline praised the sibling’s special bond.
“It was always Matty & John. I can’t even put into words the bond these two had and right now I don’t have the strength. They were each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Matt looked up to John in so many ways but the most important was the father he was to Noa & Johnny,” Madeline wrote in part.
