I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.”She added: “My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”Sydney Sweeney, who plays Cassie in the series, described Cloud as having the “kindest heart” in her tribute.
